Given an aeroplane with:
Maximum Structural Landing Mass: 125 000 kg
Maximum Zero Fuel Mass: 108 500 kg
Maximum Structural Take-off Mass: 155 000 kg
Dry Operating Mass: 82 000 kg
Scheduled trip fuel: 17 000 kg
Reserve fuel: 5000 kg
Assuming performance limitations are not restricting, the maximum permitted take-off mass and maximum traffic load are respectively…
To get the takeoff mass will be smallest of:
1- MSTOM: 155 000 kg
2- MLM + trip fuel (as trip fuel will be consumed during the flight): 125 000 + 17 000 = 142 000 kg
3- MZFM + total fuel = 108 500 + 17 000 + 5000 = 130 500 kg (smallest number)
Maximum traffic load = Takeoff mass — (Dry operating mass + Fuel onboard)
Maximum traffic load = 130 500 — (82 000 + 17 000 + 5000) = 26 500 kg
