Ops Spec A097 relates to which program?

• A. Passenger and Baggage Weight Program
• B. Aviation Weather Information
• C. Operational Control
• D. General Provisions

Answer: (A)

Ops Spec A097 is about the Passenger and Baggage Weight Program, the part of your flight operations specs that governs how weight and balance data for passengers and their baggage are collected, calculated, and used. This spec ensures you have a defined method to determine actual passenger and baggage weights (and any baggage weight allowances), perform weight and balance calculations for every flight, and maintain accurate load manifests and CG data so you stay within the approved limits. Having a reliable weight program is essential because safe flight performance depends on knowing exactly where every load is and how it affects controllability. The other topics covered by different Ops Spec sections deal with weather information, operational control responsibilities, or general provisions, not with the weight and balance program.
