Binsleepin ( no , not me) but we now have a Boeing MTOW of 115,000kg. Glasgow aircraft & EMA aircraft "certified" by the UK CAA to have different weights altogether, the Glasgow aircraft being heavier than the EMA aircraft although the EMA aircraft might have to operate out of GLA to Paphos ! Another figure thrown into the Arena being 103,990 !At least you were not asked to operate the "lighter" aircraft out of Glasgow at the "heavier" weight, regularly, thus incurring lower charges. I think my mate might have been working for the same outfit because this was the regular feature of getting from GLA to Paphos. The "lightweights" were BASED at GLA but operated at the "heavier" weights otherwise Paphos was non achievable with more that 2 knots of upper headwind !

I am still on Selection Board & I will ask the next batch "what is your Max Certified Take off weight ?" . The tripe I read on all 5 pages of this thread will secure non procedure to phase two of our procedure. Good heavens.
