   Section 20.7.1B
Civil Aviation Order 20.7.1B – Aeroplane weight and performance limitations – specified aeroplanes above 5 700 kg, or 2 722 kg if driven by 2 or more jet engines – all operations

2 Application
       2.1Subject to paragraph 2.2, this section applies to:
(a) all aeroplanes driven by 2 or more jet engines having a maximum take‑off weight in excess of 2 722 kg; and
(b) all aeroplanes driven by 2 or more turbine propeller engines having a maximum take-off weight in excess of 5 700 kg; and
(c) all new types of aeroplanes first registered in Australia after 1 June 1963, driven by 2 or more piston engines and having a maximum take-off weight in excess of 5 700 kg.
Note   Aeroplanes of maximum take-off weight exceeding 2 722 kg and not subject to Civil Aviation Order 20.7.1, 20.7.1B or 20.7.4 remain subject to subregulation 235 (2) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988.
       2.2For paragraph 2.1:
(a) a certificate of airworthiness for the aircraft must be in force; and
(b) the certificate must include a statement to the effect that the certificate is issued in the transport, commuter or normal category.
    Note 1   The only normal category aeroplanes with maximum take-off weights exceeding 5 700 kg are SFAR 41 aeroplanes. See paragraph 7.6.
    Note 2   Aeroplanes of maximum take-off weight exceeding 5 700 kg and not subject to sections 20.7.1 or 20.7.1B of the Civil Aviation Orders remain subject to subregulation 235 (2) of the Regulations.

3 Definitions
       3.1In this section:
accelerate-stop distance available means the sum of:
(a) the length of the take-off run available; and
(b) if stopway is provided — the length of the stopway.
actual landing distance means the landing distance required for the actual conditions, using the deceleration devices planned to be used for the landing.
Note   Actual landing distance required is explained in Safety Alert for Operators, SAFO 06012 published by
