Been flying for 13 years...... and i have no idea what MTOM is? I guessing it stands for Maximum Take Off Mass??? If so this is not a term used... not on large jets anyway. Try doing a search on the wannabes forum for MTOW, because i wouldn't have a clue of the weights of the Boeing fleet.

Come on guys haven't you been studying!
MTOM is max turn off momentum. The chap is looking for the weight at which you can make the first high speed exit on landing. My guess on most aircraft is the square root of turn burst pressure.

Slow Down !
Would that be the tire burst pressure of a new tire or a re-treaded tire ?
Would that be the pressure on the outside or inside of the bogie ?
Why wasn't the tire burst pressure (or temperature ) included in my limitations section ?
That's it I am calling Mr. Boeing !!

is that the first high speed turn off on the left or the right ???
are all High speed turn off's the same distance from the end of the runway ???
is MTOM measured in thrunge widgets per square thingamyjig
or Kilonewtons per square foot ???
I think if I get to grips with MTOM I will finally have a complete grasp of the totally irrelevant..................
yippeee !!!!!!

or MTOW = MAX TAKE OFF WEIGHT.
I know the B747-400 is in region of 395 tonnes but was looking for CX weights they use.......
Thanks for the help...????

Striker,
I thought it was 135000lbs? No.10, the quite achievers.

Try 394.63 tonnes as an example of one particular 747-400 presently operating between Europe and HKG.
Gawd knows what it is in lbs - who uses those, these days?
Some have said that the -400 represents the MTOW of this variant of the Queen of the Skies, but I'd be surprised if Boeing would've thought of that, being wedded to good ole English units of measurement.
I don't think that MTOM is really going to catch on. Someone calculated the reduction in Concorde's weight in flight because it was operating further away from the Earth's mass than when it was at rest on the ground - I think it could be expressed better in grammes rather than in tonnes!
So, for all intents and purposes, Mass = Weight, so MTOW will be around for some time.

Dont laugh...it has an effect!
If you are flying east over the equator, your relative speed, to a point in space, is your GS of say 480kts and earths rotational speed of 900kts giving a total speed of almost 1400kts...flying west it is around 400kts. Apparently it gives a total differential of almost 0.6% of fuel burn between the two directions, all else being equal!

You’ll have to explain that to me the next time we fly together but for now I’m going to go to bed and probably won’t sleep because I’m going to have to figure it out. Hmmmm.

Also thought that the equator ran East West....hmmmm
