Automatic Aircraft Weight and Balance Verification System
“Although refined methods have long been used to calculate the weight and balance of an aircraft, it wasn’t until 1999 that a first of its kind Automatic Aircraft Weight and Verification Balance System (AAWBVS) was developed by Emery Winslow Scale Co. Working in harmony with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Emery Winslow engineered and manufactured an AAWBVS, installed and in use at the Bogota, Colombia El Dorado International Airport, capable of verifying the weight and balance of a full range of aircraft up to and including the Boeing 747.
“Benefits of the Emery Winslow AAWBVS include improved safety, improved fuel economy, improved loading efficiencies, reduced maintenance, reduced noise, reduced pollution.“
