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. 2, record 3, Spanish, - masa%20m%C3%A1xima%20de%20despegue
