The B777 is not really a new aircraft as its maiden flight took place more than 20 years ago (in 1994). You may also specify what "big planes" means for you (I could be airliners designed for more than 50 passengers) | |

In my previous comment, I forgot to say that you'd also have to add in the time required to empty the fuel and remove items not to be included in the empty weight. However, if you knew accurately how much fuel you had and the weight and location of items, you can account for them that way. | |

| Oct 24, 2015 at 19:46 | comment | added | Terry | The calculation just takes a few minutes. It's the setting up that takes the time. Usually, though, this is done (or at least used to be done before I retired in 1999) as part of a maintenance check so it's hard to separate out the time used just for the weighing part. Also, if you brought an airplane in just for that, the elapsed time required would vary depending on how many people you put on it. I once watched them put a 747 up on jacks to cycle the gear. That took a little over an hour from start to finish. You'd want to add a little more time to that for recording readings. | |
