Is there a way to determine the aircraft weight in the air and if it is light enough for trap (apparently 54,000lbs)?

Never say never, Baby!

Take your takeoff weight - fuel burned weight - ordinance fired weight.

 

It’s easiest to figure out the max fuel with no fired ordinance, and the bingo fuel all ordinance fired before you take off so you can get a rough idea of your landing weight “bounds” and also calculate the fuel dump needed to do an immediate return from takeoff if something ain’t right.
