Why can you take-off but not necessarily land?
So that's my question, from a discussion raised in the SLF thread.

Please could someone explain in a nutshell why if an aircraft is not too heavy to take-off, it can still be too heavy to land? In other words, why are maximum take-off and landing weights not necessarily the same?

Thanks
Nick
