Good grief. Some of you must be car salesmen ! Slowjet is completely correct when he states that an MTOW is an MTOW is an MTOW. It is the manufacturer's maximum certified Take off weight. Slow did not suggest that Ryanair were declaring lower weights & then exceeding them but that the invitation for naughty cowboys to do so would be there. BOAC then tells us that if he writes on paper to the Regulatory Authority that his aircraft have an MTOW lower than the manufacturer's stated MTOW "he" is now "certifying" a new weight. Blimey BOAC, how powerful you must have felt. You cannot change the MTOW willynilly on every damn sector chaps. You can change the RTOW and the ATOW but that is not what you are charged for. As Slow says, it "might be an irritation" and very expensive to operators who regularly ply the routes at ATOW's a lot lower than the "Certified Max".............Go, on, tell me that "Certified Max" is the name of the guy just sectioned ! Could be the Title of a new mad movie too.eh ?
