Regulation 6 Weighing requirements—hold baggage and cargo

Subject to paragraph (2), for the purpose of calculating the total weight of the aircraft the respective total weights of the hold baggage and cargo entered in the load sheet shall be computed from the actual weight of each piece of baggage, cargo or cargo container and for that purpose each piece or container shall be separately weighed.

In the case of an aircraft where the total number of passenger seats available is 20 or more, the total weights of the hold baggage may, subject to regulation 7, be calculated at not less than the weights shown in Table 3 and the load sheet shall bear a notation to that effect.

For the purposes of Table 3—

• a “domestic journey” means a journey made by an aircraft which is confined within an area enclosed by rhumb lines joining successively the points shown in Table 4 but excluding any journey to or from Shannon;
