Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Landing Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel
W_L = W_ZF+W_RF
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Landing Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Landing Weight is the maximum aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land.
Zero Fuel Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) is the aircraft's weight with payload on board and empty fuel tanks.
Reserve Fuel - (Measured in Kilogram) - Reserve Fuel is the extra fuel for maneuvering, holding, aborting the landing, and making a diversion flight.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Zero Fuel Weight: 15756 Kilogram --> 15756 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Reserve Fuel: 1000 Kilogram --> 1000 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_L = W_ZF+W_RF --> 15756+1000

Evaluating ... ...

W_L = 16756

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16756 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

16756 Kilogram <-- Landing Weight

Maximum take off weight

Go Maximum Take Off Weight = Payload/(1-((Operating Empty Weight/Takeoff Weight)+(Fuel Load/Takeoff Weight)))

Operating Empty Weight from Unity Equation

Go Operating Empty Weight = Takeoff Weight-(Payload+Fuel Load)

Fuel Load from Unity Equation

Go Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-(Operating Empty Weight+Payload)

Take Off Weight from Unity Equation

Go Takeoff Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Payload+Fuel Load

Payload Weight from Unity Equation

Go Payload = Takeoff Weight-Operating Empty Weight-Fuel Load

Zero Fuel Weight given Mission Fuel, Reserve and Take Off Weight

Go Zero Fuel Weight = Takeoff Weight-Fuel Load-Reserve Fuel

Take Off Weight given Reserve, Mission and Zero Fuel Weight

Go Takeoff Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel+Fuel Load

Mission Fuel given Take Off, Reserve and Zero Fuel Weight

Go Fuel Load = Takeoff Weight-Zero Fuel Weight-Reserve Fuel

Operating Empty Weight

Go Operating Empty Weight = Gross Weight-Useful Weight

Gross weight

Go Gross Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Useful Weight

Useful Load

Go Useful Weight = Gross Weight-Operating Empty Weight

Operating Empty Weight considering Zero Fuel Weight

Go Operating Empty Weight = Zero Fuel Weight-Payload

Payload of aircraft

Go Payload = Zero Fuel Weight-Operating Empty Weight

Zero fuel weight

Go Zero Fuel Weight = Operating Empty Weight+Payload

Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight

Go Landing Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel

Zero Fuel Weight given Reserve and Landing Weight

Go Zero Fuel Weight = Landing Weight-Reserve Fuel

Landing Weight given Take Off Weight and Mission Fuel Weight

Go Landing Weight = Takeoff Weight-Fuel Load

Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight Formula

Landing Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel
W_L = W_ZF+W_RF

Why is the landing weight less than the takeoff?

A plane will (usually) be lighter when it lands than when it takes off, because it burned fuel, so the additional sturdiness will seldom (if ever) be used. Therefore, manufacturers decide to make planes that have a safe take off weight that exceeds the safe landing weight.

How to Calculate Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight?

Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight calculator uses Landing Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel to calculate the Landing Weight, The Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight, is defined as the maximum aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land. The MLW is set to ensure safe landings; if an aircraft weighs too heavily during touchdown, it may suffer structural damage or even break apart upon landing. Landing Weight is denoted by W_L symbol.

How to calculate Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight, enter Zero Fuel Weight (W_ZF) & Reserve Fuel (W_RF) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 16872 = 15756+1000.

FAQ

What is Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight?

The Landing Weight given Zero Fuel Weight and Reserve Fuel Weight, is defined as the maximum aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land. The MLW is set to ensure safe landings; if an aircraft weighs too heavily during touchdown, it may suffer structural damage or even break apart upon landing and is represented as W_L = W_ZF+W_RF or Landing Weight = Zero Fuel Weight+Reserve Fuel. Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) is the aircraft's weight with payload on board and empty fuel tanks & Reserve Fuel is the extra fuel for maneuvering, holding, aborting the landing, and making a diversion flight.
