I'm studying for recurrent and this question came up. I hope someone can help...
Suppose an airplane is parked on the ramp and it gets loaded such that the max ramp weight is exceeded. The aircraft is never moved until weight is removed. Has a limitation been broken?
I have heard arguments both yes and no. Those who say "no" argue that this is a dynamic limitation and therefore only applies to taxiing the aircraft. Those who say "yes" argue that this is a structural limit on the airplane.
I personally feel that no limitaion would be broken in this case, but would appreciate comments from others.
