please state the answer for both RTOW and LPC)
PER-TOF-TOC-14-10 P 1/10
CORRECTIONS DUE TO DIFFERENT TAKEOFF CONDITIONS
when the takeoff conditions are different from those provided on the chart,apply associated corrections.
Note: -if the RTOW chart is based on the CG being at 25%,the crew can determine the flexible temperature at a more forward CG by decreasing flexible temperature by 2 degrees.V speeds must be increased by 1 kt.
-25% is the basic certified limit,on which all takeoff computations are based.To take into account the operational margins,the above penalties must be applied when operational CG is forward 27%.
PER-LOD-WBA-LTS
Note:When referring to CG lower than 27 %, an operational margin is taken into account. It is the reason why performance at forward CG (lower than
25 %) must be used for operational CG lower than 27 %.
