Narrative:
Landed on runway 10 at maf. I had operated into maf for 10 yrs, but never landed on runway 10 prior to this time. Before staring approach I reviewed my airport page which is produced and supplied by my company. The airport page depicts the airport layout on 1 side, and the ramp gate area on the other side. I reviewed the page so that I would be familiar with the taxi route from our most probable runway exit, to the terminal ramp. I determined that our probable route would be from runway 10, exit on runway 16L, taxi on runway 16L to runway 22 to the ramp. I noted that our airport page had a restriction not authorizing takeoff or landing on runways 16L-34R and 4-22. Our airport page does not prohibit taxi on runways 16L-34r5 or 4-22. Our airport page does prohibit taxiing on taxiway B north of runway 10-28. Takeoff and landing restrictions and taxi restrictions are depicted graphically and in written text. After clearing runway 10 on runway 16L, I requested clearance to taxi on runway 22 to the ramp area. Maf ground control stated that runway 22 was not stressed for my aircraft type and weight. Maf ground then stated that a local restriction did not allow him to clear us for a 180 degree turn on runway 16L. Maf ground control then issued us a clearance to taxi via runway 22 to the ramp. I taxied on runways 16L and 22 west/O incident. There are runway weight limits on the commercial airport diagram page for maf. The 11-1 weight limits do not state if they apply to all operations, or apply to takeoff and landing only. There appears to be a discrepancy between our company supplied page and the commercial chart. I am writing a report to my company flight department manager, and to our pilot's safety committee to seek a resolution to this chart conflict. In the absence at a commercial airport page, we tend to rely on our company page as it is much easier to read. Supplemental information from acn 156676: this event happened because the flight crew did not read the fine print.

Title: ACR LGT TAXIES OVERWEIGHT FOR RWY TXWY.
Narrative: LANDED ON RWY 10 AT MAF. I HAD OPERATED INTO MAF FOR 10 YRS, BUT NEVER LANDED ON RWY 10 PRIOR TO THIS TIME. BEFORE STARING APCH I REVIEWED MY ARPT PAGE WHICH IS PRODUCED AND SUPPLIED BY MY COMPANY. THE ARPT PAGE DEPICTS THE ARPT LAYOUT ON 1 SIDE, AND THE RAMP GATE AREA ON THE OTHER SIDE. I REVIEWED THE PAGE SO THAT I WOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THE TAXI RTE FROM OUR MOST PROBABLE RWY EXIT, TO THE TERMINAL RAMP. I DETERMINED THAT OUR PROBABLE RTE WOULD BE FROM RWY 10, EXIT ON RWY 16L, TAXI ON RWY 16L TO RWY 22 TO THE RAMP. I NOTED THAT OUR ARPT PAGE HAD A RESTRICTION NOT AUTHORIZING TKOF OR LNDG ON RWYS 16L-34R AND 4-22. OUR ARPT PAGE DOES NOT PROHIBIT TAXI ON RWYS 16L-34R5 OR 4-22. OUR ARPT PAGE DOES PROHIBIT TAXIING ON TXWY B N OF RWY 10-28. TKOF AND LNDG RESTRICTIONS AND TAXI RESTRICTIONS ARE DEPICTED GRAPHICALLY AND IN WRITTEN TEXT. AFTER CLRING RWY 10 ON RWY 16L, I REQUESTED CLRNC TO TAXI ON RWY 22 TO THE RAMP AREA. MAF GND CTL STATED THAT RWY 22 WAS NOT STRESSED FOR MY ACFT TYPE AND WT. MAF GND THEN STATED THAT A LCL RESTRICTION DID NOT ALLOW HIM TO CLR US FOR A 180 DEG TURN ON RWY 16L. MAF GND CTL THEN ISSUED US A CLRNC TO TAXI VIA RWY 22 TO THE RAMP. I TAXIED ON RWYS 16L AND 22 W/O INCIDENT. THERE ARE RWY WT LIMITS ON THE COMMERCIAL ARPT DIAGRAM PAGE FOR MAF. THE 11-1 WT LIMITS DO NOT STATE IF THEY APPLY TO ALL OPS, OR APPLY TO TKOF AND LNDG ONLY. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DISCREPANCY BTWN OUR COMPANY SUPPLIED PAGE AND THE COMMERCIAL CHART. I AM WRITING A RPT TO MY COMPANY FLT DEPT MGR, AND TO OUR PLT'S SAFETY COMMITTEE TO SEEK A RESOLUTION TO THIS CHART CONFLICT. IN THE ABSENCE AT A COMMERCIAL ARPT PAGE, WE TEND TO RELY ON OUR COMPANY PAGE AS IT IS MUCH EASIER TO READ. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 156676: THIS EVENT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE FLT CREW DID NOT READ THE FINE PRINT.
