Standard empty weight All operating systems permanently installed on the airplane Includes hydraulic fluid, unusable fuel, and full engine oil Basic empty weight Standard equipment plus optional equipment Mx-20 Max zero fuel weight Maximum weight with no fuel aboard Protects the wings from being overstressed Too much weight means the wings have to produce too much lift and can be stressed Also might not be able to take off if too heavy Max ramp weight Total weight of a loaded plane with fuel Higher than max takeoff weight Max takeoff weight Max allowable weight for takeoff Max landing weight Max weight allowed for landing Protects landing gear 2.7. WEIGHT Maximum Ramp Weight : 1660 (753 kg) Maximum Take-Off Weight : 1653 lbs (750 kg) Maximum Landing Weight : 1653 lbs (750 kg) Maximum permissible weight : 44 lbs (20 kg) only permissible in the baggage compartment with baggage harness WARNING EXCEEDING WEIGHT LIMITATIONS MAY LEAD TO OVERLOADING OF THE AIRPLANE AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE AND/OR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. Useful load Required crew, bags, useable fuel, and drainable oil Max takeoff weight – basic empty weight = useful load Max takeoff weight – all required equipment = how much weight in the form of fuel, baggage, cargo and people you can have If max takeoff weight is 1653 lbs and BEW is 1000 lbs, how much useful load can you take? Payload Passengers, baggage, and cargo Zero fuel weight – basic empty weight = payload Want to max out your payload Longer takeoff run Longer landing distance More momentum than a lighter airplane Same as with a car and a motorcycle Shallower climb Need to keep the nose down to maintain airspeed Reduces angle and rate of climb Reduced cruising speed High AOA required just like with forward CG Creased more drag which reduces cruising speed Shorter range Creating more drag so more thrust is required to overcome it Will burn more fuel trying to maintain airspeed Maneuverability is decreased Ability t
