There are 2 types of limitation: structural and performance.
Structural is about your aircraft and it is normally fix number (c.f FCOM)
Performance is about other than aircraft (rwy length/condition, obstacle, etc..) and it is variable (c.f Company Manual Route OM-C)
You chose the most restrictive applicable for your flight. Usually it is structural.
