Question [TECH] Max Operating TO Weight

Hi

defining the MTOW for a given profile mission, considering that should be the more limiting weight of the 3 conditions
1 - TO procedure
2 - en-route performance
3 - Ldg procedure

i like to ask (need feedback), to someone that allready have done the calc, what, normally is the more critical condition.

i have done it, and for my numbers (TO and LDG at sea level, and the cruise at 2000 ft, only...) the more limiting condition, for any temperature, is allways the cruise enroute at MCP OEI - i have allready some feedback, telling me that for this cruising altitudes, the en-route portion isn't the limiting factor...

thanks in advance
