What is the CRJ 700 landing weight limit?

• A. 67,000
• B. 62,300
• C. 75,000
• D. 75,250

Answer: (A)

Landing weight limit is the maximum weight the aircraft is certified to land with, to protect the airframe and landing gear from excessive stress during touchdown. For the CRJ 700, that limit is 67,000 pounds. This is lower than the maximum takeoff weight, which is higher (75,000 pounds), because the forces on the airframe and wheels during landing require a lighter weight. The other numbers aren’t the certified landing limit for this aircraft, so 67,000 pounds is the correct choice.
