Discussion
Consider the following statements about defined aircraft weights:
1. Zero fuel weight is operating empty weight plus payload.
2. Maximum landing weight is normally below maximum take-off weight.
3. Operating empty weight excludes the crew.
Which of the statements given above is or are correct?
Answer: B
Correct answer: 1 and 2 only
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: zero fuel weight is operating empty weight plus payload, and the landing limit is below the take-off limit because the undercarriage is sized for touchdown. Statement 3 is wrong - operating empty weight is the aircraft ready for service and does include the crew, together with oil, catering equipment and unusable fluids. The weight without those is the manufacturer’s empty weight.
