Select the correct match.
Answer: B
Correct answer: A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
Four definitions that differ in what they include. Manufacturer’s empty weight is the aircraft as built, without operational items. Operating empty weight adds crew, oil, catering and unusable fluids to give the aircraft ready for service. Zero fuel weight adds the payload but no usable fuel. Maximum landing weight is not a build state at all but a structural limit on touchdown.
