Weight Conversion Calculator
Convert aircraft and payload weight between pounds, kilograms, and ounces for aviation loading and planning.
100 pounds in kilograms
100 lb × 0.45359237 = 45.36 kg, and 100 lb × 16 = 1,600 oz.
Convert every station to the unit used by the aircraft loading document before summing weights. A correct conversion does not establish an acceptable loading.
A 75 kg passenger and a 25 lb bag
The loading worksheet uses pounds. Convert the passenger first: 75 ÷ 0.45359237 = about 165.35 lb. Adding the 25 lb bag gives 190.35 lb. Adding the original numbers as 75 + 25 would produce 100 with no consistent unit and understate the combined load by about 90.35 lb.
This tool accepts pounds. To convert a kilogram value, divide by 0.45359237 before entering it; the kilogram result should return the starting value within display rounding. For the actual loading calculation, keep the passenger and bag at their separate aircraft stations. A combined weight does not tell you their combined moment or whether the baggage limit is met.
Keep full precision while calculating, then round the displayed result. The ounce output is a unit of mass, not fluid ounces. Check NIST’s mass conversion factors, then use the weight-and-balance tool with the aircraft’s station data.
