Based on the following data, what is the maximum Traffic Load allowed?

Maximum Structural Take-Off Mass: 7250 kg
Performance Limited Take-Off Mass: 6840 kg
Performance Limited Landing Mass: 6300 kg
Dry Operating Mass: 3640 kg
Crew and operational equipment: 410 kg
Take-Off Fuel: 950 kg
Trip Fuel: 420 kg

  • A

    2250 kg

  • B

    2660 kg

  • C

    2130 kg

  • D

    1840 kg

Traffic Load (TL). The total mass of passengers, baggage and cargo, including any ’non-revenue’ load.

  • Traffic Load = Maximum Allowed TOM - OM

(1) Determine the maximum allowed Take-off Mass. It is the lowest of:

  • Maximum Structural Take-Off Mass: 7250 kg
  • Performance-Limited Take-off Mass: 6840 kg
  • ​Performance-Limited Landing Mass + Trip fuel (as trip fuel will be consumed during the flight) = 6300 kg + 420 kg = 6720 kg

(2) Calcumate Operating Mass (OM):

OM = DOM + Take-off Fuel = 3640 kg + 950 kg = 4590 kg

Allowed Traffic Load = 6720 kg - 4590 kg = 2130 kg
