OBS

Este dato es un límite no una garantía, así que a la hora de evaluar el despegue han de tenerse en cuenta otros factores que pueden influir en el mismo y obligarnos quizá a disminuir el peso del avión. Salvo que la situación sea muy clara, conviene consultar en las tablas del manual de vuelo el peso máximo y la longitud de pista necesaria para el despegue en las condiciones actuales. Si es necesario, habrá que disminuir el peso del avión y, si no queda más remedio, suspender el vuelo.
