SPO.POL.125Take-off mass limitations – complex motor-powered aeroplanes

The operator shall ensure that:

(a)the mass of the aeroplane at the start of take-off shall not exceed the mass limitations:

(1)at take-off, as required in SPO.POL.130;

(2)en-route with one engine inoperative (OEI), as required in SPO.POL.135; and

(3)at landing, as required in SPO.POL.140, allowing for expected reductions in mass as the flight proceeds, and for fuel jettisoning;

(b)the mass at the start of take-off shall never exceed the maximum take-off mass specified in the AFM for the pressure altitude appropriate to the elevation of the aerodrome or operating site, and if used as a parameter to determine the maximum take-off mass, any other local atmospheric condition; and

(c)the estimated mass for the expected time of landing at the aerodrome or operating site of intended landing and at any destination alternate aerodrome shall never exceed the maximum landing mass specified in the AFM for the pressure altitude appropriate to the elevation of those aerodromes or operating sites and if used as a parameter to determine the maximum landing mass, any other local atmospheric condition.
