Reduced maximum taxi and takeoff weights
Overview
Introduction
Aircraft operators sometimes require operational weight limitations that differ from the original certified aircraft limits. This EASA-approved modification provides an approved reduction of the aircraft’s maximum taxi and takeoff weights, supported by supplements to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) and Weight & Balance Manual (WBM), enabling operators to operate the aircraft within customized operational limits.
Your needs
Airlines and operators may need to operate aircraft at reduced maximum weights due to operational requirements such as airport restrictions, leasing conditions, regulatory considerations, or fleet management strategies. In such cases, approved documentation is required to ensure the aircraft remains compliant with airworthiness regulations.
Your benefits
- EASA-approved operational weight limitation
- Supports compliance with airport or operational restrictions
- Enables alignment with leasing or contractual requirements
- Simplifies fleet and operational management
- Provides clear approved documentation within AFM and WBM
Product Description
This modification introduces approved supplements to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) and Weight & Balance Manual (WBM) defining reduced Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) and Maximum Taxi Weight (MTW) for the applicable aircraft.
The modification ensures that the operational weight limits are clearly defined and approved, while maintaining the original relationship between MTOW and MTW. The supplements must be inserted into the aircraft manuals when the modification is embodied.
