Helmet, yes i understand that it depends of the machine/profile of mission, but i'm stilll trying to figure out, if i'm making the right calculations (read as: i'm learnig how to do it )

i'm assuming that TO and LDG distances are unlimited (use runways for now.. - no helidecks, vertical TO or similar - just make it as normal airplane )
i'm looking only, to find the maximum weight i can takeoff at the first place, that assures all the profile conditions...

so, i check, the weights for
- Cat A
- Cat B
- HOGE
- 2min Power (OEI)
- 30min Power (OEI)
- MCP (OEI)

and check what is the more limiting weight (and condition: if Cat A at TO/LDG using Cat A profiles, if Cat B to the same thing.. or HOGE etc...) for a given conditions of altitude (fixed) and plotted agains't diferrent temperatures - and allways give me the MCP as the more limiting condition ( gives me the less weight)
