The maximum landing weight (MLW), also known as the maximum structural landing weight or maximum structural landing mass, [1] is the maximum aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land. The MLW is set in order to ensure safe landings; if an aircraft weighs too heavy during touchdown ...

The concrete runway is 18/36, 7,002 feet (2,134m) long by 150 feet (46m) with a weight-bearing capacity of 450,000 pounds (200,000 kg) double tandem. It has high intensity runway lights, medium-intensity approach lights and precision approach path indicator lights for both runways, a runway 18 instrument landing system Category I approach and ...
The aircraft gross weight (also known as the all-up weight and abbreviated AUW) is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] An aircraft's gross weight will decrease during a flight due to fuel and oil consumption.
It also has a seaplane landing area designated as runway 17W/35W which is 2,530 x 100 ft (771 x 30 m). [1] For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2022, the airport had 152,198 aircraft operations, an average of 417 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% air taxi, <1% commercial, and <1% military. There were 136 aircraft based at this airport ...
Trans-Texas Airways became Texas International in 1969 and began jet service with DC-9's on a Denver-Amarillo-Lubbock-Austin-Houston route. [11] By 1976 all scheduled passenger airline flights at Lubbock were jets: Braniff Boeing 727-100s and Boeing 727-200s, Continental 727-200s and Texas International Airlines Douglas DC-9-10s. [12]
There have been 2,751 aircraft crashes with a fatality in Texas in more than 50 years, ... Continental Express Flight 2574 crashed near Eagle Lake in September 1991 while initiating landing. All ...
When the weight of the aircraft is at or below the allowable limit(s) for its configuration (parked, ground movement, take-off, landing, etc.) and its center of gravity is within the allowable range, and both will remain so for the duration of the flight, the aircraft is said to be within weight and balance. Different maximum weights may be ...
