What is the maximum ramp weight for the aircraft?

• A. 85,870 lb
• B. 85,517 lb
• C. 74,957 lb
• D. 69,886 lb

Answer: (A)

The ramp weight limit is the maximum weight the aircraft may carry while it’s on the ground at the ramp, before pushback. It covers the aircraft’s empty weight plus all payload and fuel loaded for the flight. This limit protects structural and loading constraints during ground handling and ensures you won’t exceed safe weights before taxi and takeoff. For this ERJ 175, the maximum ramp weight is 85,870 pounds. That means when you’re planning the load, the sum of empty weight, passengers, baggage, cargo, and usable fuel must not exceed this value. The actual takeoff weight will be less than or equal to this ramp limit after you account for fuel burn during taxi and the time from roll to takeoff. If loading would push you over 85,870 pounds, you’d need to reduce payload or fuel to stay within the ramp limit.
