Re: here's an idea

So we are looking for a system that is > 99% accurate (the flagged issue was 1000 kg overweight on a 100 ton aircraft). You are probably weighing an integrating at 3 points. You need to factor out wind, because I can ensure you that a head on wind would generate some lift - but I guess you could either fit 360 degree wind speed monitors or do a 360 degree loop on the taxiway. So then you have a number - do you feel lucky? All 3 sensors working, calibrated, accurate? Maybe we need 3 sensors per wheel so we can do a majority vote on the sensors?
