In 2019, the publication of the Federal Adviation Administration (FAA) of the United States Ministry of Transport (FAA)Updated advice On the control of weight and balance for planes. In the past, the total weight of the plane has been calculated using average weights for the cabin, luggage, passengers, fuel, etc., but these figures had to be updated and increased. According to Snopes, the FAA consideredIncreased obesity rate, which increased the risk of divergences between existing average weights and the real weight of passengers.
Although it is essential to ensure that planes have a safe weight when flying, in 2021, FAA policies were reactors when it was reported that US airlines could start to weigh the passengers. The reports were true, by SNOPES, and the FAA directives indicate that the airlines can weigh each passenger or ask them for their weight before boarding. The directives even indicate that operators should estimate the weight of a passenger and "add 10 pounds" if the number provided by the passenger "is underestimated".
The FAA notes that airlines can choose to carry out a random study of the weight of passengers at various airports to determine the average weights, but even so, the policy was somewhat controversial. Addressing this, United Airlines adopts a different approach to take into account the additional weight.

There are different average weights depending on the time of year.
Although the weight of passengers can fluctuate with changing seasons, this is not the only reason for higher averages during the coldest months. By flight live and by flying, the increase in winter weights is attributed to larger and heavier winter clothing, as well as heavier tiles, which are not weighed in the United States according to the FAA, The average weights of the clothes are five pounds in summer and 10 pounds in winter.
The "winter weights" are used by airlines from November 1 to April 30, according to the FAA, which is why United makes adjustments for this period. In 2019, medium winter weights increased from 150 to 184 pounds for passengers and from 190 to 205 points for male passengers, per live and volons.
