ICAO medium weight class range?

ICAO medium weight class range?

• A. 15,500lbs or less
• B. 30,000lbs to 150,000lbs
• C. 15,501lbs to 299,999lbs
• D. 300,000lbs or more

Answer: (C)

In ICAO aircraft weight classifications used for airfield planning, the medium weight class is defined by MTOW (maximum takeoff weight) that is above the light category and below the heavy category. Specifically, aircraft with MTOW from 15,501 pounds up to 299,999 pounds fall into the medium category. The lower boundary of 15,501 pounds excludes lighter aircraft, while the upper boundary of 299,999 pounds excludes heavier jets that exceed 300,000 pounds. This range covers many regional jets and smaller to mid-size airliners, while aircraft at or above 300,000 pounds are regarded as heavy.
