What is the maximum ramp weight in pounds?

• A. 1730 LBS
• B. 1800 LBS
• C. 1770 LBS
• D. 1780 LBS

Answer: (C)

Ramp weight is the airplane’s weight while it sits on the ground, including fuel and payload, and it must not exceed the limit published for the aircraft. For the DA20-C1, the published maximum ramp weight is 1,770 pounds. That means the sum of the empty weight, usable fuel, and any baggage or passengers must stay at or below 1,770 pounds when the aircraft is on the ramp before taxiing. If you load more than that, you’re over the allowed limit and would need to shed weight or fuel to meet the limit. The other numbers don’t match the aircraft’s published data, so they aren’t the permitted ramp weight. Always verify with the POH’s Weight & Balance data.
