(1) Weight. The estimated landing weight is determined by subtracting the fuel usage expected for the trip
from the ramp weight:

Anytime the maximum landing weight limitation would be exceeded, off-load the excess from useful load prior to
takeoff, or burn off the excess from excess fuel (i.e., not from reserve fuel) before landing.
