Where in the AFM would you find published maximum takeoff and landing weights?

Where in the AFM would you find published maximum takeoff and landing weights?

• A. In the Engine Performance chapter.
• B. In the Takeoff and Landing Performance section.
• C. In the Weight and Balance/Limitations section.
• D. In the Aircraft General Procedures.

Answer: (D)

Maximum takeoff weight and maximum landing weight are weight limits tied to the aircraft’s structural and balance constraints. They’re published in the section that lists all weight, balance, and operating limitations. That Weight and Balance/Limitations section is specifically where you’ll find the MTOW and MLW (along with CG envelope and other weight-related restrictions). The Takeoff and Landing Performance section uses those limits as inputs for performance calculations (like runway requirements and speeds) but isn’t where the limits themselves are listed. Engine Performance covers engine data, and Aircraft General Procedures covers normal operating procedures and checklists, not weight limits. So the published maximum takeoff and landing weights are found in Weight and Balance/Limitations.
