An aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of \( 90 \) t has a maximum landing weight of \( 0.85 \) of it. The landing limit is
Answer: C
Correct answer: 76.5 t
\[ 0.85 \times 90 = 76.5\ \text{t.} \] The landing limit is below the take-off limit because the undercarriage and its backup structure are sized for touchdown at a given sink rate, and designing them for the full take-off weight would cost weight the aircraft carries on every flight for a case that arises only in an emergency - which is why an overweight landing needs fuel jettison or an inspection afterwards.
