Which weight value corresponds to the Max Landing Weight?

Which weight value corresponds to the Max Landing Weight?

• A. 27,575 lbs
• B. 28,000 lbs
• C. 26,500 lbs
• D. 27,000 lbs

Answer: (A)

Max Landing Weight is the maximum aircraft weight allowed to be on the ground at touchdown, based on the airframe and landing gear’s structural limits. This limit is typically lower than the takeoff weight to ensure the stresses from landing and rollout stay within design margins. For this airplane, the published maximum landing weight is 27,575 pounds. That value represents the actual certified limit you must not exceed during landing. The other numbers either exceed the published landing limit or are not the maximum permitted value, so they do not represent the Max Landing Weight.
