Summary

  1. In FLOPS, if alternative mass method is used (IALTWT = 1), ignore BWB.
  2. Aviary does not implement general aviation mass equations. Remove relevant code.

I think this was actually correct as-is? We can test if this is correct by running a BWB case in FLOPS and toggle the IALTWT flag on - if any of the masses changed, then we know that alternate weight equations are still used in the BWB case.

In FLOPS, if IALTWT is on, it ignores aircraft type. Are you saying that we don't need to follow the FLOPS logic?
