Bogota Departures
B747-200's operating out of Bogota (carrying flowers) are operating close to their maximum zero fuel weight limit. Doing so places the aircraft at or near it's maximum climb weight limit or it's maximum runway weight limit (depending on flap selection and power used). To carry maximum payload the aircraft most likely would be climb weight limited (flaps 20, maximum thrust) therefore leaving the crew with little or no room for error. Max certified takeoff weight is not a player.
