in the aeroplane's flight manual to indicate the minimum navigation system requirements needed to operate in an area, on a route or on a procedure.
RNP-capable aeroplane means an aeroplane:
(a) that is approved for area navigation (RNAV); and
(b) that meets the RNP capability necessary for an approved RNP operation in accordance with the aeroplane's flight manual; and
(c) whose FMS permits the RNP type to be selected and displayed to the flight crew.
speeds:
V1 means the take-off decision speed;
V1 (wet) means a reduced V1 established for use on a wet or contaminated runway;
V2 means the initial climb out speed which is not less than the take-off safety speed;
VR means the speed at which aeroplane rotation is initiated by the pilot during take-off;
VS means the minimum speed in a stall or the minimum steady flight speed.
stopway means a defined rectangular area at the end of a runway, centrally located about the extended centre-line of its associated runway, declared to be available as a suitable area in which an aeroplane may be stopped after an interrupted take-off.
suitable aerodrome means an aerodrome approved for normal operations and which is forecast not to require an alternate during the period nominated for possible use. Operational requirements for suitable aerodromes are as promulgated by CASA.
take-off distance available means the sum of:
(a) the length of the take-off run available; and
(b) if clearway is provided — the length of the clearway.
take-off run available means the length of runway declared to be available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane taking off.
Note   If any part of the take-off run available is lost due to the alignment of the aircraft at the start of the take-off run, account must be taken of the loss.
the Regulations means the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988.
wet runway means a runway that:
(a) is covered by surface water not more than 3 mm deep; or
(b) is covered by slush or loose snow equivalent to surface water not more than 3 mm deep; or
(c) has sufficient moisture on the surface to cause it to appear reflective, but without significant areas of standing water.
    Note   The distances and areas mentioned in the above definitions are normally declared to be available by the national aviation authority. In Australia, they are specified in Aeronautical Information Publications but may be the subject of a separate approval from CASA.

4 Take-off weight limitations
       4.1For the purposes of paragraph 235 (2) (a) of the Regulations, the maximum weight that an aeroplane to which this section applies may not exceed at take‑off is the least of the weights determined in accordance with subparagraphs (a)
