Finding out relevant information in the new CASRs about a single topic is like completing a 1000 piece jigsaw with the pieces scattered around the backyard. Anyway these are some relevant pieces of the Overweight Landing jigsaw that I have found. Note that my list is most likely not exhaustive and that I'm looking at it from an Airbus pilot perspective.

CASR98 regulations that govern landings include:
• 91.095 & 121.055. Require the PIC (91.095) and the operator (121.055) to comply with the AFM.
• 91.800 & 121.420. Require the PIC (91.800 & 121.420) and the operator (121.420) to comply with the relevant MOS.
• Part 91 MOS 25.02. State that the PIC must use a specified method to calculate landing performance (Airbus = Flysmart).
• Part 121 MOS 9.13. Specify the inflight landing distance requirements (including a 15% factor).

The combined effect of those regulations is that since:
• the Airbus AFM (ie the FCOM) includes an Overweight Landing procedure, and
• we can calculate an inflight landing distance at weights in excess of the max landing weight, no ‘special’ circumstances (ie an emergency) are required to land overweight.
