What limits are considered for takeoff?
The most common limit factors for takeoff include:
- Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) – Structural limit.
- Climb Limit Weight – Ensures minimum climb gradients are met.
- Field Length Limit – Based on declared distances and environmental factors.
- Obstacle Limit Weight – Ensures regulatory obstacle clearance.
- Brake Energy Limit – Ensures brakes can absorb energy during a rejected takeoff.
- Tire Speed Limit – Ensures takeoff speed does not exceed tire limits.
