1 Name of Order
  This Order is the Civil Aviation Amendment Order (No. R8) 2004.
2 Commencement
  This Order commences on gazettal.
3 Replacement of section 20.7.2 of the Civil Aviation Orders
  Section 20.7.2 of the Civil Aviation Orders is omitted and a new section substituted as set out in Schedule 1.
Schedule 1 Substitution of section 20.7.2 of the Civil Aviation Orders

SECTION 20.7.2

AEROPLANE WEIGHT AND PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS — AEROPLANES NOT ABOVE 5700 KG — REGULAR PUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
1 APPLICATION
    Unless CASA otherwise directs, this section applies to all multi-engine aeroplanes having a maximum take-off weight not in excess of 5 700kg engaged in regular public transport operations.
2 DEFINITIONS
 In this section, terms and abbreviations have the meanings defined in section 20.7.1B, and in Part 101 except that:
 take-off distance available means the length of take-off run available plus, where clearway is provided, a maximum of 60 metres of clearway.
3 TAKE-OFF PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS
3.1 No aeroplane shall take off at a weight in excess of the take-off weight specified in the aeroplane flight manual for the take-off distance available. In determining this weight, account shall be taken of the aerodrome pressure altitude, ambient temperature, runway surface and slope, and the wind velocity at the time of take-off.
3.2 No aeroplane shall take off at a weight such that, allowing for normal consumption of fuel in flight to the destination and alternate aerodromes, the weight on arrival would exceed the weight specified in the aeroplane flight manual with respect to baulked landing climb performance. In determining this weight, account shall be taken of the aerodrome pressure altitude and, for aeroplanes having a maximum take-off weight exceeding 3 500 kg the ambient temperature forecast for the estimated time of landing.
3.3 No aeroplane shall take off at a weight such that, allowing for normal consumption of fuel in flight to the destination and alternate aerodromes, the weight on arrival would require a landing distance, in accordance with the aeroplane flight manual, greater than the landing distance available:
 (a) on the most favourable runway under zero wind conditions, unless that runway would be unusable due to an excessive crosswind forecast for the estimated time of landing then;
 (b) on the most suitable available runway, using wind components derived from the minimum wind velocity which would make the runway in (a) above unusable due to cross wind
