Subpart 8 : Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations

Division One : Aeroplane Limitations

93.08.2 Take-off mass limitations

 

(1) A person may not conduct a take-off in an aircraft if a mass of an aircraft—
(a) exceeds the MTOM specified in an aircraft flight manual for a pressure altitude and an ambient temperature at an aerodrome where such a take-off is to be made; or
(b) after allowing for planned fuel consumption during a flight to a destination aerodrome or alternate aerodrome, exceeds a landing mass specified in an aircraft flight manual for a pressure altitude and an ambient temperature at a destination aerodrome or alternate aerodrome.

 

(2) For the purposes of determination of MTOM referred to in subregulation (1)—
(a) a required accelerate-stop distance shall not exceed an accelerate-stop distance available;
(b) a required take-off run shall not exceed a take-off run available; and
(c) a required take-off distance shall not exceed a take-off distance available.

 

(3) The following factors shall be taken into account for the purposes of subregulation (2)—
(a) mass of an aircraft;
(b) specific operating procedures;
(c) pressure altitude at an aerodrome;
(d) ambient temperature;
(e) runway slope in a direction of take-off;
(f) reported headwind component, which shall not more than 50 percent;
(g) reported tailwind component, which shall not be less than 150 percent;
(h) loss of effective take-off run available during runway alignment except where rolling take-off is approved;
(i) where a runway condition is other than bare and dry, appropriate penalty based upon a runway condition or contaminates such as slope, ice, snow, slush, standing water or water surfaces for seaplanes, shall be factored into a performance calculation; and
(j) any other factor that may significantly affect an aircraft performance.
