(3) The weight at which the airplane 

meets the positive maneuvering load 
factor 

n, where n=2.1+(24,000/(W+10,000))

than 3.8; or 

(4) The weight at which the airplane 

meets the climb performance require-

the airplane and the terrain to be tra-
versed. 

(d) The maximum certificated weight 

determined under this section is added 
to the airplane’s operation limitations 
and is identified as the maximum 

weight authorized for operations with-
