as prescribed in § 135.341 and described

§ 135.353 [Reserved]
Subpart I—Airplane Performance
Operating Limitations
§ 135.361 Applicability.
(a) This subpart prescribes airplane
performance operating limitations ap-
plicable to the operation of the cat-
egories of airplanes listed in § 135.363
when operated under this part.
(b) For the purpose of this subpart,
effective length of the runway,
for land-
ing means the distance from the point
at which the obstruction clearance
plane associated with the approach end
of the runway intersects the centerline
of the runway to the far end of the run-
way.
(c) For the purpose of this subpart,
obstruction clearance plane
means a
plane sloping upward from the runway
at a slope of 1:20 to the horizontal, and
tangent to or clearing all obstructions
within a specified area surrounding the
runway as shown in a profile view of
that area. In the plan view, the center-
line of the specified area coincides with
the centerline of the runway, beginning
at the point where the obstruction
clearance plane intersects the center-
line of the runway and proceeding to a
point at least 1,500 feet from the begin-
ning point. After that the centerline
coincides with the takeoff path over
the ground for the runway (in the case
of takeoffs) or with the instrument ap-
proach counterpart (for landings), or,
where the applicable one of these paths
has not been established, it proceeds
consistent with turns of at least 4,000-
foot radius until a point is reached be-
yond which the obstruction clearance
plane clears all obstructions. This area
extends laterally 200 feet on each side
of the centerline at the point where the
obstruction clearance plane intersects
the runway and continues at this width
to the end of the runway; then it in-
creases uniformly to 500 feet on each
side of the centerline at a point 1,500
feet from the intersection of the ob-
struction clearance plane with the run-
way; after that it extends laterally 500
feet on each side of the centerline.
§ 135.363 General.
(a) Each certificate holder operating
a reciprocating engine powered large
transport category airplane shall com-
ply with §§ 135.365 through 135.377.
(b) Each certificate holder operating
a turbine engine powered large trans-
port category airplane shall comply
with §§ 135.379 through 135.387, except
that when it operates a turbopropeller-
powered large transport category air-
plane certificated after August 29, 1959,
but previously type certificated with
the same number of reciprocating en-
gines, it may comply with §§ 135.365
through 135.377.
(c) Each certificate holder operating
a large nontransport category airplane
shall comply with §§ 135.389 through
135.395 and any determination of com-
pliance must be based only on approved
performance data. For the purpose of
this subpart, a large nontrans- port
category airplane is an airplane that
was type certificated before July 1,
1942.
(d) Each certificate holder operating
a small transport category airplane
shall comply with § 135.397.

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT
§ 135.367
(e) Each certificate holder operating
a small nontransport category airplane
shall comply with § 135.399.
(f) The performance data in the Air-
plane Flight Manual applies in deter-
mining compliance with §§ 135.365
through 135.387. Where conditions are
different from those on which the per-
formance data is based, compliance is
determined by interpolation or by com-
puting the effects of change in the spe-
cific variables, if the results of the in-
terpolation or computations are sub-
stantially as accurate as the results of
direct tests.
(g) No person may take off a recipro-
cating engine powered large transport
category airplane at a weight that is
more than the allowable weight for the
runway being used (determined under
the runway takeoff limitations of the
transport category operating rules of
this subpart) after taking into account
the temperature operating correction
factors in section 4a.749a-T or section
4b.117 of the Civil Air Regulations in
effect on January 31, 1965, and in the
applicable Airplane Flight Manual.
(h) The Administrator may author-
ize in the operations specifications de-
viations from this subpart if special
circumstances make a literal observ-
ance of a requirement unnecessary for
safety.
(i) The 10-mile width specified in
§§ 135.369 through 135.373 may be re-
duced to 5 miles, for not more than 20
miles, when operating under VFR or
where navigation facilities furnish reli-
able and accurate identification of high
ground and obstructions located out-
side of 5 miles, but within 10 miles, on
each side of the intended track.
(j) Each certificate holder operating
a commuter category airplane shall
comply with § 135.398.

§ 135.364 Maximum flying time outside
the United States.
After August 13, 2008, no certificate
holder may operate an airplane, other
than an all-cargo airplane with more
than two engines, on a planned route
that exceeds 180 minutes flying time
(at the one-engine-inoperative cruise
speed under standard conditions in still
air) from an Adequate Airport outside
the continental United States unless
the operation is approved by the FAA
in accordance with Appendix G of this
part, Extended Operations (ETOPS).

§ 135.365 Large transport category air-
planes: Reciprocating engine pow-
ered: Weight limitations.
(a) No person may take off a recipro-
cating engine powered large transport
category airplane from an airport lo-
cated at an elevation outside of the
range for which maximum takeoff
weights have been determined for that
airplane.
(b) No person may take off a recipro-
cating engine powered large transport
category airplane for an airport of in-
tended destination that is located at an
elevation outside of the range for
which maximum landing weights have
been determined for that airplane.
(c) No person may specify, or have
specified, an alternate airport that is
located at an elevation outside of the
range for which maximum landing
weights have been determined for the
reciprocating engine powered large
transport category airplane concerned.
(d) No person may take off a recipro-
cating engine powered large transport
category airplane at a weight more
than the maximum authorized takeoff
weight for the elevation of the airport.
(e) No person may take off a recipro-
cating engine powered large transport
category airplane if its weight on ar-
rival at the airport of destination will
be more than the maximum authorized
landing weight for the elevation of that
airport, allowing for normal consump-
tion of fuel and oil en route.
§ 135.367 Large transport category air-
planes: Reciprocating engine pow-
ered: Takeoff limitations.
(a) No person operating a recipro-
cating engine powered large transport
category airplane may take off that
airplane unless it is possible—
(1) To stop the airplane safely on the
runway, as shown by the accelerate-
stop distance data, at any time during
takeoff until reaching critical-engine
failure speed;
