landing weight

This requires perhaps 2-3% of the landing weight for the rotor.

It is the abnormal, non-routine flight where landing weight can be an issue.

At 16:51 the crew carried out a fuel dumping to decrease the landing weight.

The big jet had landed with nearly full tanks, placing it well over its landing weight limits.

If the flight has been of short duration, fuel may have to be jettisoned to reduce the landing weight.

Landing weight is the weight of an aircraft as it lands at the destination.

The aircraft was undergoing maximum landing weight tests.

This typically requires about 10% of the landing weight of the vehicle to be propellant.

At 02:10, an emergency was declared, and the crew began dumping fuel to get the airplane to an acceptable landing weight.

V ref when configured for the approach (as here) at typical landing weight is around 115 knots.

However, if an aircraft must land early, sometimes the fuel that remains aboard still keeps the aircraft over the maximum landing weight.

Takeoff and landing weights were increased.

The landing weight figure is the total weight of the shuttle and its cargo that could be carried back to an emergency landing.

When enough of its fuel had been used up to achieve Safe Landing Weight it would try a landing.

There are other variables involving takeoff and landing weights, but they are omitted from this article for the sake of simplicity.

A BN-2A-20 with improved soundproofing and increased landing weight and other minor modifications.

As the aircraft flies, the fuel burns off, and by the time the aircraft is ready to land, it is below its maximum landing weight.

The maximum landing weight is typically designed for 10 feet per second (600 feet per minute) sink rate at touch down with no structural damage.

A Boeing 757 has no fuel dump capability as its maximum landing weight is similar to the maximum take-off weight.

V, VS, and the maximum certificated landing weight are those values as established for the aircraft by the certification authority of the country of registry.

The allowable landing weight for a space shuttle has been increased from 211,000 to 230,000 pounds, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced today.

Maximum landing weight (MLW)

The fuel dump system, for example, automatically sets itself to get the plane down to maximum landing weight; the pilot has only to push one button, one time.

Landing quota count values are based on the certificated approach noise level at maximum landing weight minus 9.0 EPNdB.

Many smaller aircraft have a maximum landing weight that is the same as the maximum take-off weight, in which case issues of overweight landing cannot arise.
