SPO.POL.130 Take-off — complex motor-powered aeroplanes

(a) When determining the maximum take-off mass, the pilot-in-command shall take the following into account:

(1)  the calculated take-off distance shall not exceed the take-off distance available with a clearway distance not exceeding half of the take-off run available;

(2)  the calculated take-off run shall not exceed the take-off run available;

(3)  a single value of V1 shall be used for the rejected and continued take-off, where a V1 is specified in the AFM; and

(4)  on a wet or contaminated runway, the take-off mass shall not exceed that permitted for a take-off on a dry runway under the same conditions.

(b) Except for an aeroplane equipped with turboprop engines and a maximum take-off mass at or below 5700 kg, in the event of an engine failure during take-off, the pilot-in-command shall ensure that the aeroplane is able:

(1)  to discontinue the take-off and stop within the accelerate-stop distance available or the runway available; or

(2)  to continue the take-off and clear all obstacles along the flight path by an adequate margin until the aeroplane is in a position to comply with SPO.POL.135.
