How wireless telemetry is transforming aircraft weighing operations

The aircraft weighing operation is stringent. Crew are often frantically weighing planes with outdated equipment, manually calibrating kit and dealing with consistent errors and inefficiencies across the process. But in recent years, the aviation industry has implemented new wireless monitoring systems into aircraft weighing, in efforts to improve efficiency and precision. Here, Tom Lilly, product manager at wireless telemetry specialist Mantracourt, explores the move towards digital monitoring methods, and how wireless telemetry systems are being integrated into aircraft weighing methods.

In an industry like aerospace, precision is key when it comes to safe and efficient operations. Accurate measurements for qualities like fuel efficiency, structural integrity and cargo management keep safety and performance in check – avoiding cost spikes or even dangerous scenarios for an aircraft.
