FAA large weight class ranges up to what maximum weight?

• A. 15,501lbs to 299,999lbs
• B. 41,000lbs or less
• C. 41,000lbs to 255,000lbs
• D. 255,000lbs or more

Answer: (C)

Aircraft weight categories used in FAA air traffic procedures divide planes by maximum takeoff weight. The line between small and large is at 41,000 pounds, and the line between large and heavy is at 255,000 pounds. So the large weight class includes aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight from 41,000 pounds up to 255,000 pounds. Those exceeding 255,000 pounds are classified as heavy, and those at or below 41,000 pounds fall into the smaller category.
