Which weight value corresponds to the Max Ramp & Taxi Weight?

• A. 32,000 lbs
• B. 31,050 lbs
• C. 30,450 lbs
• D. 30,900 lbs

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing the weight limit used when the aircraft is on the ground for taxiing and pushback. The Max Ramp & Taxi Weight is the maximum weight the airplane may carry before start of engines and during ground movement. In this data set, the value designated for ramp and taxi is 31,050 pounds, which is why that number is the correct choice. It represents the ground-handling limit you must stay under before taxiing. The takeoff weight limit (another ground-limit concept) is a separate value and may differ, but the ramp/taxi figure is the one you must respect prior to engine start. If you found yourself needing to taxi with more than 31,050 pounds, you’d need to shed payload or fuel to bring it down to or below that limit.
