L337
I too noticed the lack of specific reference to performance weight. But the wording indicated that some 31,000KG was from max allowable for that day...
and just to remind others of interesting takeoff problems, there was a TWA L1011 that got false stall warning out of KJFK and the copilot gave up flying and handed it to the captain who landed...and the plane burst into flames, but everyone got out.
always fly the plane!!!!
We also had a C5 Galaxy, USAF, with a thrust reverser deployed warning or actual, return for landing at Dover AFB...and they managed to get too slow on approach and bam...survivable crash...plane cracked in two.
Moral..always fly the friggin thing
