An aircraft's weight is normally reported against its target using

  • A.The customer's estimate
  • B.The competitor's published weight
  • C.A weight statement broken down by group
  • D.A single figure at the end of the programme

Answer: C

Correct answer: A weight statement broken down by group

The weight statement lists each group - wing, fuselage, undercarriage, powerplant, systems, furnishings - against its allocated target, so an overrun can be traced to the group that caused it. A single aircraft-level number would tell you that the aircraft is heavy without telling you where, which is of no use to anyone trying to recover the weight.
