Which weight value corresponds to MGTOW?

Which weight value corresponds to MGTOW?

• A. 31,000 lbs
• B. 30,800 lbs
• C. 29,900 lbs
• D. 31,500 lbs

Answer: (B)

MGTOW is the maximum gross takeoff weight the airplane is certified to lift off with in its current configuration. In this operator’s performance data, the published MGTOW is 30,800 pounds, so that value represents the ceiling you must not exceed for takeoff. The other numbers either exceed this limit (31,000 and 31,500 pounds would be outside the allowed takeoff weight) or are below it (29,900 pounds is under the limit and does not define the maximum takeoff weight). So the 30,800-pound figure is the weight that corresponds to MGTOW.
