Which two weight limits are equal in this configuration?

• A. MTOW and Max Landing Weight
• B. MTOW and Max Ramp Weight
• C. Max Ramp Weight and Max Zero Fuel Weight
• D. Max Landing Weight and Max Zero Fuel Weight

Answer: (A)

The weight limit that matters for both takeoff and landing is the same value in this configuration. When the maximum landing weight (MLW) equals the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), it means the aircraft is allowed to operate at the same upper weight whether it’s taking off or landing. This happens when landing stresses, gear loads, and performance requirements aren’t more restrictive than the takeoff constraint, so the two limits coincide.

The other limits tend to differ because they reflect different design purposes: Max Ramp Weight通常 accounts for fueling and taxiing on the ground and is typically higher than MTOW; Max Zero Fuel Weight excludes usable fuel and is usually lower than MTOW. So those pairs aren’t equal in this setup.
