All quite calculated based on air density, takeoff mass, runway length, and climb gradient over obstacles. | |

| Oct 3, 2015 at 20:17 | comment | added | Dan | Martin, no offence, but without some serious sources this answer just sounds like nonsense. As below, nobody turns off these systems during the day and I can't believe for a minute the load makes this kind of critical difference to the output of the engines. | |
