Introduction

This chapter contains self dispatch performance data intended primarily

for use by flight crews in the event that information cannot be obtained

from the airline dispatch office. The takeoff data provided is for a single

takeoff flap at max takeoff thrust. The range of conditions covered is

limited to those normally encountered in airline operation. In the event of

conflict between the data presented in this chapter and that contained in the

approved Airplane Flight Manual, the Flight Manual shall always take

precedence.

Takeoff

The maximum allowable takeoff weight will be the least of the Field,

Climb, Obstacle, Brake Energy and Tire Speed Limit Weights as

determined from the tables shown.

Brake Energy or Tire Speed Limit Weight tables are only provided if they

are limiting for the range of conditions covered in the FCOM Section PD.

Field Limit Weight - Slope and Wind Corrections

These tables for dry and wet runways provide corrections to the field

length available for the effects of runway slope and wind component along

the runway. Enter the appropriate table with the available field length and

runway slope to determine the slope corrected field length. Next enter the

appropriate table with slope corrected field length and wind component to

determine the slope and wind corrected field length.

Field and Climb Limit Weight

Tables are presented for selected airport pressure altitudes and runway

conditions and show both Field and Climb Limit Weights. Enter the

appropriate table for pressure altitude and runway condition with “Slope

and Wind Corrected Field Length” determined above and airport OAT to

obtain Field Limit Weight. Also read Climb Limit Weight for the same

OAT. Intermediate altitudes may be interpolated or use next higher

altitude. When finding a maximum weight for a wet runway, the dry

runway limit weight must also be determined and the lower of the two

weights used.
