But it IS true that VMCA is "set" in the sense that once determined for a give alt/temp, it is then applied for all instances of that temp/alt. That is, heavy aircraft must use the VMC(A/G) applicable to a light aircraft; you can't schedule with aircraft weight.

From an AOM near me.

Although it's min VR in this manual in the FAA version the tables are VMCA and a knot or two lower.

So it looks like you can factor weight into the mix.
