(b)           minimum runway length at given take-off weight incorporating each of the following variables:
(i)             wind component;
(ii)            temperature;

2.5.1              Using typical flight manual data
(a)           calculate each of the following:
(i)             MLW for a given runway or helipad;
(ii)            MTOW and MLW taking into considering the limitations applicable to the given circumstances, including deciding which of those factors is the critical limiting one, being aware that the TOW may be limited by cruising level or landing factors; and
(b)           determine the limiting variable for a given take-off situation (for example, the limiting temperature at which a given take-off can be made).
