| ·Autoland： | A system that fully automates the landing portion of an aircraft flight for low visibility and bad weather conditions. |
| ·CLDGW： | The aircraft maximum gross weight specified for landing /
arrestment operations on an aircraft carrier. |
| ·CG： | |
| ·DLW： | The highest aircraft gross weight corresponding to the maximum required sink
rate. This definition is common for both military and commercial land based fixed wing aircraft and
rotorcraft. |

| ·FP： | |
| ·LLDGW： | This term is used in military applications and is equivalent to
the DLW. Typically, the following guidelines are used to establish LLDGW. For utility, observation, and
trainer aircraft, LLDGW = maximum flight weight minus the following: payload to be expended, all external
fuel, and 25% internal fuel. For cargo aircraft, LLDGW = maximum flight weight minus: all external fuel
and 50% internal fuel. For combat aircraft, LLDGW = maximum flight weight minus: all external fuel and
60% internal fuel. |
| ·MLG： | |
| ·MLW： | The term MLW, used in a commercial environment, is
synonymous with the DLW and corresponds to the highest gross weight for a 10 ft/s (3.05 m/s) landing
for transport airplanes. The limit sink rate for part 23 aircraft is 7 to 10 ft/s. It is NOT the same as the
military definition of Maximum Landing Weight. |
| ·MLW： | The highest allowable weight for any landing. Typically, it is
established by maximum flight weight minus any droppable external fuel tanks and fuel consumed or
dumped during one go-around or 3 minutes, whichever provides the lightest aircraft weight. The military
MLW term corresponds to the highest gross weight for a 6 ft/s (1.83 m/s) or 8.5 ft/s (2.59 m/s) landing
depending on aircraft type. |
