Variant weight limits

Check the aircraft variant before using a weight limit. The E170, E175, E190 and E195 do not all use the same limits.

Identify the simulated aircraft

Read the exact variant in the simulator and the EFB.

Open the actual loadsheet

Read the zero-fuel weight, takeoff fuel and takeoff weight. Check the units and, if provided, the predicted landing weight.

Check the applicable limits

Use information for the installed model. The FSS limitations page lists weights without identifying every variant; do not assume that its one set of numbers applies to the whole family.

Consider the flight conditions

Runway length, climb and landing performance can impose a lower operational limit than the structural limit.

Review a change

Recheck after weather, fuel, runway or payload changes.

If the runway, weather, fuel or payload changes, review the affected performance calculation.

Check before departure

Compare the final weights with the applicable limits and use the current performance information for the flight.

The supplied E190/195 AFM lists different weight limits for the LR and AR models and explains how performance can reduce the usable weight ^{[L05, PDF pp. 53, 55, 57 and 59]}. Use figures applicable to your simulated aircraft. ^[10]
