I reckon the 'expert' who introduced this term has long since 'left the stand'. As I said in post #2, FORGET this word 'limit'. Let's look at your figures. Firstly let's increase our payload by 8T. What is the Col C figure now? What is the 'controlling' ie lowest perf figure? There is no clue yet that we have exceeded our MZFW from this column. The figure does NOT change with payload increase. The 'shock' discovery that you have exceeded MZFW will come from elsewhere as 9.G says, and when you choose Col C as 'the lowest' and then add the actual figures below it the 'secret' will become clear in
that matrix. Now let's INCREASE our
tanks fuel to 38T. What is the Col C figure? What is now the 'controlling' ie lowest perf figure (ie now actually 'limiting').
Much easier to ignore the word 'Limit'.
