FIRST SEGMENT
Starts at 35 ft above the takeoff surface, at the end of the one-engine-
inoperative takeoff distance (TOD/OEI), and extends to the point
where the landing gear is fully retracted using a constant V
2
speed and
takeoff flaps.
SECOND SEGMENT
Extends from the end of the first segment up to the level-off height,
with takeoff flaps, gear up, and constant V
2
speed.
EXTENDED SECOND SEGMENT
It is an extension of the second takeoff climb segment, above the
maximum level off height, to improve obstacle clearance performance.
THIRD (OR ACCELERATION) SEGMENT
Extends from the end of the second segment, at the level-off height,
up to a point where the airplane is accelerated to final segment speed
(V
FS
) while retracting flaps.
FINAL SEGMENT
Extends from the end of the third segment to a gross height at least at
1500 ft AGL, with flaps up and at final segment speed (V
FS
). The final
segment ends at 3000 ft AGL for the CAFM.
WEIGHTS
REGULATED TAKEOFF WEIGHT - RTOW
It is the maximum allowed takeoff weight at the start of takeoff run,
derived by complying with all requirements, such as those related to
field length, climb gradients, brake energy, tire speed, obstacle
clearance and structure.
TAKEOFF WEIGHT - TOW
It is the gross weight of the airplane at the start of takeoff run.
MAXIMUM TAKEOFF WEIGHT - MTOW
It is the maximum structural takeoff weight.
CLIMB LIMITED TAKEOFF WEIGHT (OR TAKEOFF WAT)
It is the maximum allowed takeoff weight for the airport altitude and
temperature, and complying with the takeoff and go-around climb
gradient requirements.
