Narrative:

Captain commented that excessive nose up trim required after takeoff from clt. Aircraft climbed slower than normal for reported weight. Crew contacted dispatch to confirm load closeout weights, and received message that ZFW was 6200 pounds heavier than initially reported. Aircraft was within limits for aircraft and runway limits on takeoff and landing. However, the afm maximum ZFW was exceeded by 700 pounds. Aircraft inspection was requested upon landing at dfw and logbook entry made.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACFT LOADED IN EXCESS OF MAXIMUM ZERO FUEL WEIGHT.

Narrative: CAPT COMMENTED THAT EXCESSIVE NOSE UP TRIM REQUIRED AFTER TKOF FROM CLT. ACFT CLIMBED SLOWER THAN NORMAL FOR REPORTED WEIGHT. CREW CONTACTED DISPATCH TO CONFIRM LOAD CLOSEOUT WEIGHTS, AND RECEIVED MESSAGE THAT ZFW WAS 6200 LBS HEAVIER THAN INITIALLY REPORTED. ACFT WAS WITHIN LIMITS FOR ACFT AND RWY LIMITS ON TKOF AND LNDG. HOWEVER, THE AFM MAX ZFW WAS EXCEEDED BY 700 LBS. ACFT INSPECTION WAS REQUESTED UPON LNDG AT DFW AND LOGBOOK ENTRY MADE.
