When using standard average weights, what weight is used for adult males and females during summer months?

The weight used for adult males and females during the summer months, based on standard average weights, is 184 lbs. This figure takes into account typical seasonal changes in clothing and personal items, reflecting a more accurate representation of passenger weight in warmer months when lighter clothing is often worn.

Using this standard average weight ensures that flight crews and operations account for safety and balance when preparing for flights, particularly when calculating total load and fuel requirements. In summer, passengers generally dress more lightly, so using a lower average weight helps to accommodate those variations, which is critical for flight planning and safety.

The other provided weight options do not align with the standard average used for adult passengers in summer months, as they may either overestimate or underestimate the typical passenger weight.
