@Fasgadh@mastodon.scot @mysturji@mastodonapp.uk @nobrainnopain@social.tchncs.de @kibcol1049@mstdn.social @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk Are aircraft loaded with fuel by weight or volume? I thought the former as volume changes with temperature and a flight I was on added 20,000 ton(ne)s more fuel to divert.

@Fasgadh@mastodon.scot @John_Loader@ohai.social @nobrainnopain@social.tchncs.de @kibcol1049@mstdn.social @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk A fluid ounce is a measurement of volume. An ounce is a measurement of weight. They are not the same (though they may be related, e.g. a fluid ounce of water may or may not weigh an ounce). It’s Friday night, so I can’t be arsed to look it up. 😂)
