I just came across this recently. What type of aircraft would a PCN number of 40 (bearing strength) permit?

Any airplane with an ACN of 39 or less.

Depends if we are talking Rigid Pavement or Flexible Pavement............................and what sub grade catagory?? High, Med, Low or Ultra Low???
On a Rigid Pavement Subgrade High A then the A319-100 twin wheel main gear is a 40. As is the B727-100C and B737-700
On a Flexible Pavement Subgrade High A include B777-200 and B747SP are both classified 40
