V

DEPENDENT TAKEOFF WEIGHT
It is the takeoff weight affected by V
1
selection. The V
1
dependent
takeoff weights are those limited by field length (TOD/OEI, ASD/OEI,
ASD/AEO), brake energy and obstacle clearance. The non-V
1
dependent takeoff weights are those limited by TOD/AEO, climb
gradients, tire speed and structure.
LANDING WEIGHT - LW
It is the gross weight of the airplane at the landing screen height.
MAXIMUM LANDING WEIGHT - MLW
It is the maximum structural landing weight.
CLIMB LIMITED LANDING WEIGHT (OR LANDING WAT)
It is the maximum allowed landing weight for the airport altitude and
temperature, and complying with the go-around climb gradient
requirements, either for AEO or OEI conditions.
REGULATED LANDING WEIGHT - RLW
It is the maximum allowed landing weight, derived by complying with
all requirements, such as those related to field length, climb gradients,
brake energy, tire speed, and structure.
MINIMUM LANDING WEIGHT
It is the minimum allowed landing weight, derived by complying with
steep approach requirements, based on the airplane approach glide
capability.
ENGINE
RATINGS
CRITICAL ENGINE
It is the engine whose failure would most adversely affect the
performance or handling qualities of the airplane.
TAKEOFF THRUST
It is the maximum thrust available for takeoff, usually time limited.
