Ref PWS 3.1.9.1 and 3.2.1
The PWS requires that the aircraft lift either 1800 kg of cargo or 18 pax (400 lbs per pax planning weight). However, 18 pax at 400 lbs each equals approximately 3266 kg.-- nearly twice the weight. That is a big difference, and with the floor armor installed, it is not possible for any variant of the Mi-8 to lift under the ambient conditions specified in the PWS. Can you please clarify?
The table at Para 3.1.9.1 is a minimum capability requirement. It is based on the 1800 kg weight. Contractor should deliver an aircraft that meets that weight requirement. The factor at 3.2.1.
(400 lbs/~182 kg per) is only a planning factor for determining maximum number of passengers on any given flight. Weights of individual passengers and their baggage will vary.
