What is the maximum ramp weight?

Ramp weight is the maximum weight the aircraft is allowed to have while on the ground (on the ramp) before engine start and taxi, including all payload and fuel on board. This limit is published in the airplane’s POH/AFM and serves as the ground loading maximum you must not exceed. For this airplane, the official maximum ramp weight is 2,558 pounds, which is the value you use when verifying the aircraft’s weight on the ramp. The other numbers don’t match the published ramp-weight limit; some are below the ground-load limit, and one would exceed the ramp-weight specification.
