b. Operations Over 12,500 Pounds Gross
Takeoff Weight C D1 .
(1) Requirements.
Artificial stall warning systems may only
provide a 1 to 5 knot stall warning.
CAUTION
Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight charts
must
be
strictly
followed
during
performance planning to ensure climb
capability in the event of an engine failure
during takeoff.
(a) Takeoffs. Takeoffs shall only be
performed on a smooth paved runway. Takeoffs shall
not be performed with a tailwind.
(b) Landing. Maximum landing weight is
12,500 pounds. Landings shall only be made on a
smooth paved runway and the sink rate shall not
exceed 500 feet per minute.
(c) Flight Altitude and Duration. All
missions with over 12,500 pounds GTOW shall be
planned and flown at or above 10,000 feet above
ground level and be a minimum of 60 minutes in
duration unless restricted by Air Traffic Control,
turbulence, other weather conditions, or emergencies.
(d) Center of Gravity (CG) Limits. The
CG limits shall be IAW with Figure 6-8.
1 The aft CG limit above 12,500
pounds is 196.4 ARM inches.
2 The forward CG limit at 13,500
pounds is 188.3 ARM inches. Intermediate values to
12,500 vary linearly to 185.0 ARM inches.
(e) Limited
Applicability
to
Certain
Aircraft. The following aircraft are authorized to be
operated at weights greater than 12,500 pounds only if
the wing spars have been replaced after 10,000 hours
of service.

c. Operations Over 12,500 Pounds Gross
Takeoff Weight D2 T .
(1) Requirements.
Artificial stall warning systems may only
provide a 1 to 5 knot stall warning.
CAUTION
Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight charts
must
be
strictly
followed
during
performance planning to ensure climb
capability in the event of an engine failure
during takeoff.
(a) Aircraft shall be equipped with
Raisbeck Engineering dual aft body strakes and
engine ram air recovery system with PT6A42
engines.
(b) Landing. Maximum landing weight is
12,500 pounds, unless required by an emergency. If it
is necessary to land with a weight over 12,500 pounds,
the landing shall be made on a smooth, paved runway
at a sink rate of 500 feet per minute or less, if possible.
(c) Flight Altitude and Duration. All
missions with over 12,500 pounds GTOW shall be
planned and flown at or above 10,000 feet above
ground level and be a minimum of 60 minutes in
duration unless restricted by Air Traffic Control,
turbulence, other weather conditions, or emergencies.
(d) Takeoff. All missions with over
12,500 pounds GTOW shall be flown on a smooth,
paved runway. Takeoffs shall not be performed with a
tailwind.
