Which weight specification is the maximum ramp weight?

• A. 1,665 lbs (755 kg)
• B. 1,675 lbs (761 kg)
• C. 1,670 lbs (757.5 kg)
• D. 1,680 lbs (761.9 kg)

Answer: (B)

Maximum ramp weight is the highest weight the aircraft is allowed to have while it is on the ramp, with payload and fuel loaded, before taxiing. This limit is set to ensure safe handling during taxi, enough performance for takeoff, and to protect structural and systems limits. Because fuel is burned after backing away and during the taxi to the runway, the takeoff weight you actually lift off with is typically lower than the ramp weight. The option that matches the published ramp weight for this aircraft is the value listed as 1,675 pounds, which is the maximum allowed weight on the ramp.
