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 ...
At 11:10 p.m., Columbus approach control was contacted. The captain advised the controller that the aircraft was descending through 13,200 ft (4,000 m) to 11,000 ft (3,400 m). The controller assigned a 285-degree heading to intercept the instrument landing system (ILS) for Runway 28L and cleared Flight 6291 to 10,000 ft (3,000 m). An updated ...
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.
Takeoff weight is the weight of an aircraft as it takes off partway along a runway. Few flight planning systems calculate the actual takeoff weight; instead, the fuel used for taking off is counted as part of the fuel used for climbing up to the normal cruise height. Landing weight is the weight of an aircraft as it lands at the destination ...
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. [1] For the same time period, 70 aircraft were based at the airport: 63 single-engine and 6 multi-engine airplanes as well as 1 jet. [10]
For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2021, the airport had 8,395 aircraft operations, an average of 23 per day: 98% general aviation, 2% military, and <1% air taxi. At that time there were 36 aircraft based at this airport: 34 single-engine and 2 multi-engine airplanes. This is down from 49,240 annual operations and 37 based aircraft in 2010.
The aircraft involved was a 22-year-old McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15RC (Rapid Change) registered as N565PC. The -15 is a subvariant of the series 10 of DC-9s. The accident aircraft first flew in 1968 and was delivered to Continental Airlines as a passenger aircraft in July of that same year, registered as N8919. The aircraft operated with ...
