Narrative:
This was a 25 degree flap pack-off takeoff. Takeoff weight was within 400 pounds of maximum weight for runway 1. Closeout was 181902 pounds, within 100 pounds of maximum weight for runway 1. After leveloff we received an ACARS message from load control informing us of an additional 1125 pounds of bags on our flight, therefore putting us above runway limited weight for takeoff by 927 pounds. After taking into account the 5 KTS of headwind at our time of takeoff we were still 127 pounds over maximum runway weight for takeoff.

Narrative: THIS WAS A 25 DEG FLAP PACK-OFF TKOF. TKOF WT WAS WITHIN 400 LBS OF MAX WT FOR RWY 1. CLOSEOUT WAS 181902 LBS, WITHIN 100 LBS OF MAX WT FOR RWY 1. AFTER LEVELOFF WE RECEIVED AN ACARS MESSAGE FROM LOAD CTL INFORMING US OF AN ADDITIONAL 1125 LBS OF BAGS ON OUR FLT, THEREFORE PUTTING US ABOVE RWY LIMITED WT FOR TKOF BY 927 LBS. AFTER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE 5 KTS OF HEADWIND AT OUR TIME OF TKOF WE WERE STILL 127 LBS OVER MAX RWY WT FOR TKOF.
