A load weight and balance system (100) has a sensor (115) for providing an output signal proportional to an available internal volume of an associated passenger luggage storage bin (200). The system (100) also has a sensor (110) for providing an output signal proportional to a weight of any luggage in the associated passenger luggage storage bin (200). Display devices (125, 140, 150) provide a visual indication whether or not each passenger luggage storage bin is filled to capacity. A main display (140, 150) provides a visual indication of the storage status of all of the passenger luggage storage bins. A processor (105) receives the signals from the first sensors and the second sensors, calculates whether or not each of the passenger luggage storage bins is filled to capacity and whether or not each of the passenger luggage storage bins is within a predetermined weight value, and determines whether or not the weight distribution of the passenger luggage storage bins in the aircraft is balanced.
