Zero Fuel Weight + Landing Fuel equals what?

Zero Fuel Weight + Landing Fuel equals what?

• A. Zero Fuel Weight
• B. Landing Weight
• C. APU
• D. Fuel On Board

Answer: (B)

The concept is how aircraft weights are built from the basic empty weight and payload. Zero Fuel Weight is the aircraft's weight with payload but without usable fuel. When you’re about to land, the fuel that remains on board is called the landing fuel. Adding that remaining fuel to the Zero Fuel Weight gives the weight of the aircraft at the moment of landing, which is the Landing Weight. In other words, Landing Weight = ZFW + Landing Fuel.
