Weights must be entered and user should enter ballast in kilograms. There are three
weights to enter. Min. Weight (Minimum glider weight) corresponds to the min.load value
and represents the value at which the polar was measured or recalculated. Max. weight
(Maximum glider weight) is the maximum take-off weight allowed for a glider. It is not used
in the calculation, it is just a reminder to the pilot of the maximum take-off weight. Empty
weight (Empty glider weight) is weight of the glider without pilot and ballast. The overload
factor is calculated as:

Empty glider weight is a weight of empty glider. This number can be found in a glider
book.
Pilot weight is weight of the pilot with parachute and baggage.
Water ballast is a weight of ballast.
Minimum glider weight is a weight of empty glider + minimum pilot weight. This value is
useful for when we want to display ballast in weight (kg or lbs).
Maximum glider weight is MTOW ( max. takeoff weight ) – this value is used only to limit
pilot to enter higher ballast, as is allowed with MTOW.
