Delta MD-11s with 618,000lbs and 630,500lbs takeoff weight.

Hello! I have identified all but two former Delta MD-11s as 618k takeoff weight models.

Since I still unable to find a copy of the weight and balance manual or any airlines' MD-11 FOM, I would like some help from our experts.

What is entailed with the 618k takeoff weight? Does this include the forward cargo hold auxiliary fuel tank bringing the total fuel up to about 278k lbs, or is this without the extra fuel tank (~258,000lbs max fuel)?

Also, are the max landing weights for these models 430k or 458k lbs?


Next, I am showing two models eligible for the 630.5k takeoff weight. Am I right to assume these come standard with the auxiliary 3000 gallon fuel tank in the forward cargo hold? Again, what would be the max landing weights for these models?

Thanks guys,
-Shane
