take-off for an aeroplane is also limited by the maximum take-off weight for the aeroplane, which, for a type-certificated aeroplane, means the maximum take‑off weight for the aeroplane permitted by its flight manual. It is an offence under regulations 91.055 and 121.095 of CASR if an aeroplane is not operated in accordance with the aeroplane's flight manual.

9.03  Take-off distance requirements
 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 9.02(a), it is a requirement that, assuming that the critical engine fails at VEF and using a single V1:
 (a) the accelerate stop distance required for a take-off from a runway does not exceed the accelerate stop distance available for the runway; and
 (b) the take-off distance required for a take-off from the runway does not exceed the take-off distance available for the runway; and
 (c) any clearway forming part of the take-off distance available does not exceed half the length of the take-off run available; and
 (d) in the case of a wet or contaminated runway, the take-off distance is calculated to the point at which the aeroplane reaches a height of 15 ft above the take-off surface using a reduced V1 not below V1 (wet); and
 (e) the take-off run required does not exceed the take-off run available using V1 for the rejected and continued take-off; and
 (f) on a wet or contaminated runway, the weight at which the aeroplane can take-off from the runway does not exceed that permitted for a take-off on a dry runway.
 (2) For the purposes of paragraphs (1)(a) to (f), the operator and the pilot in command must take into account:
 (a) the take-off configuration of the aeroplane;
 (b) the pressure altitude and presumed temperature at the aerodrome;
 (c) the type of runway surface and the runway surface condition;
 (d) the runway slope in the direction of take-off;
 (e) unless otherwise accounted for in the performance data stated in the aircraft flight manual instructions for the aeroplane, not more than 50% of the headwind component or not less than 150% of the tailwind component for the runway planned to be used;
 (f) the loss of any runway length due to the aligning of the aeroplane for take‑off;
 (g) any credit for the stopway, and the clearway, at the aerodrome as follows:
 (i) stopway that is appropriate for the aeroplane type that can be included in the accelerate stop distance available;
 (ii) clearway that is appropriate for the aeroplane type that can be included within take-off distance available.
