60. Mass limitations take off.
(1)The mass of the aeroplane at the start of take-off shall not exceed the mass at which subregulation (2) is complied with, or the mass at which subregulation (3) and subregulation (4) are complied with, allowing for expected reductions in mass as the flight proceeds, and for such fuel jettisoning as is envisaged in applying subregulation (3) and subregulation (4) and, in respect of alternate aerodromes.(2)In no case shall the mass at the start of take-off exceed the maximum take-off mass specified in the flight manual for the pressure altitude appropriate to the elevation of the aerodrome, and if used as a parameter to determine the maximum take-off mass, any other local atmospheric condition.(3)In no case shall the estimated mass for the expected time of landing at the aerodrome of intended landing and at any destination alternate aerodrome, exceed the maximum landing mass specified in the flight manual for the pressure altitude appropriate to the elevation of those aerodromes, and if used as a parameter to determine the maximum landing mass, any other local atmospheric condition.(4)In no case shall the mass at the start of take-off, or at the expected time of landing at the aerodrome of intended landing and at any destination alternate aerodrome, exceed the relevant maximum masses at which compliance has been demonstrated with the Civil Aviation (Airworthiness) Regulations, unless otherwise authorized in exceptional circumstances for a certain aerodrome or a runway where there is no noise disturbance problem, by the competent authority of the State in which the aerodrome is situated.(5)The pilot in command shall ensure that the aeroplane is able, in the event of a critical engine failing at any point in the take-off, either to discontinue the take-off and stop within either the accelerate-stop distance available or the runway available, or to continue the take-off and clear all obstacles along the flight path by an adequate margin until the aeroplane is in a position to comply with subregulation (8).(6)The pilot in command in determining the length of the runway available, shall take account of the loss, if any, of runway length due to alignment of the aeroplane prior to take-off.(7)The pilot in command shall ensure that in the event of the critical engine becoming inoperative at any point along the route or planned diversions therefrom, to continue the flight to an aerodrome at which the standard of subregulation (9) can be met, without flying below the minimum obstacle clearance altitude at any point.(8)The pilot in command shall ensure that the aeroplane at the aerodrome of intended landing and at any alternate aerodrome, after clearing all obstacles in the approach path by a safe margin, is able to land, with assurance that it can come to a stop or, for a seaplane, to a satisfactorily low speed, within the landing distance available and allowance shall be made for expected variations in the approach and landing techniques, if such allowance has not been made in the scheduling of performance data.AEROPLANE INSTRUMENTS, EQUIPMENT AND FLIGHT DOCUMENTS
