JumpinK Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Can anyone please give me a hint where I can find the maximum landing weight for the tomcat?! And is it the same for cv and airfield operations?

Roadrunner Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 4.8 GROSS WEIGHT LIMITS — TAKEOFF, LAUNCH, AND LANDING 1. Catapult launch — 76,000 pounds. Single-engine rate of climb at 76,000-pound gross weight using optimum flight control technique is predicted to be between 300 and 600 feet per minute. Emergency jettison of stores may be required to establish adequate rate of climb. 2. Field takeoff and emergency landings (minimum rate of descent landings only) — 72,000 pounds. 3. Field landings — 60,000 pounds. a. Aircraft with AYC-679 or AYC-805: (1) FCLP or carrier landings — 54,000 pounds. b. Aircraft without AYC-679 or AYC-805: (1) FCLP or carrier landing — 51,800 pounds. (2) Carrier landings when operational necessity dictates — 54,000 pounds. Cant give you the source right now, someone on the wing researched it.
