It is very easy to exceed max weight with the E195, and you may have to remove passengers or fuel.
Fortunately, the range of the E195 is substantial, so offloading enough fuel to keep the aircraft from
being overloaded isn’t a major concern.
If the E195 is flying with a full load of passengers, you have no room for extra cargo, and in fact need
to offload a bit of fuel to stay within allowances. The load planner estimates passengers as weighing
185 lbs with two 30 lb bags. (83.9 kg & 2 x 13.6 kg). In the real world, these estimated values vary
by season - it’s all very scientific and the data is sourced from vendors much the same way we, as
X-Plane enthusiasts, get our navigation data from Aerosoft or Navigraph.
Finally, any time you change the passenger count or the fuel sliders, the cargo slider automatically
resets to reflect only the weight of the baggage. Passenger baggage is given priority in this way - and
then you can reset the cargo slider to re-add your cargo weight - if you have enough weight allowance
left before the aircraft becomes overweight.
