1. Reason for the Job
Overweight taxiing is defined as taxiing at a weight that is more than the Maximum design Taxi Weight (MTW).
NOTE: Before flight, you must decrease aircraft weight to that specified in the Aircraft Flight Manual for takeoff.
You must do this inspection if you taxi the aircraft at an overweight of more than 2% of the Maximum design Taxi Weight (MTW).
You must do this inspection if you taxi an overweight aircraft (regardless of percentage over MTW) and have one of these conditions (or more):
  • high speed ground turn
  • sharp radius turn
  • heavy braking
  • taxi over rough pavement
  • pivot (sharp radius turn with brake on)
  • deflated tire.
