CLIMB and RATOW weights are presented in what units on the WDR?

Weights on the Weight Data Record are shown in thousands of pounds to keep figures compact and reduce entry errors. For CLIMB and RATOW, a value entered as a number represents that many thousands of pounds, so 180 means 180,000 pounds. This scale matches how performance planning uses weight inputs and avoids the unwieldy six-digit numbers that would come from using pounds directly; using kilograms or tons would require conversions and can lead to ambiguity.
