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 ...
Landing quota count values are based on the certificated approach noise level at maximum landing weight minus 9.0 EPNdB. Aircraft were originally divided into six QC bands from 0.5 to 16, but following a review by the Department for Transport [ 1 ] a seventh category – Quota Count 0.25 – was added in March 2007 [ 2 ] and an eighth category ...

Fuel dumping of an Airbus A340-600 above the Atlantic Ocean near Nova Scotia Fuel dump nozzle of an Airbus A340-300. Fuel dumping (or a fuel jettison) is a procedure used by aircraft in certain emergency situations before a return to the airport shortly after takeoff, or before landing short of the intended destination (emergency landing) to reduce the aircraft's weight.
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.
For the 12-month period ending December 21, 2022, the airport had 9,210 aircraft operations, an average of 25 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% military and <1% air taxi.
