Reference datum (RD)/ Reference plane. An
imaginary vertical plane from which all
horizontal distances for the center of gravity
calculations are measured. It is the plane
through the leading edge of the wing root rib,
perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the
airplane.
A defined point along the longitudinal axis
which is generally presented as a specific
distance from the reference datum
Maximum engine power for take-off
True airspeed. Speed of the airplane relative to
air. TAS is CAS corrected for altitude and
temperature error
Temperature (Fuel) (at a specific critical point
under the engine cowling)
Temperature (Motor) (at a specific critical
point under the engine cowling)
The amount of fuel remaining in the tank
which cannot be used
The amount of fuel available for the flight plan
calculation
The difference between take-off mass (weight)
and empty mass (weight)
