I'm heavy :P

[olseric]

Yep...300 000 lbs MTOW regardless of whether or not they are operating at that weight.

However, the FAA changed that to 255 000 lbs MTOW while ICAO still goes by the 300 000 lbs threshold. This is why if you listen to
foreign ATC, you won't hear a 757-300 referred to as a heavy but in the USA, you usually will.

At any rate, I know the Saab 340B I was flying earlier today wasn't a heavy even though ATC was calling me heavy.
