What is the maximum baggage weight?

Weight and balance is the key here. The aircraft has a published limit for baggage that keeps the center of gravity (CG) within the approved range and the weight within structural limits. For this airplane, the total baggage you may load is 200 pounds, distributed between the baggage compartments as specified in the POH. Loading up to 200 pounds maintains the CG and keeps performance and handling within safe, certified limits. Loading more would push the CG beyond the allowed envelope or approach MTOW, leading to unstable handling and possible performance issues. The other numbers are simply lower limits that don’t represent the maximum you’re allowed to carry.
