(a) subparagraphs 4.1 (a), (b) and (c) of Civil Aviation Order 20.7.1B (CAO 20.7.1B) to the extent that would prevent taking into account the use of the departure end of the runway end safety area (RESA) to calculate the take-off distance and accelerate-stop distance for the aircraft; and
(b) subparagraph 5.1 (a) of CAO 20.7.1B to the extent that would require consideration of temperature in determining landing weight for the aircraft.
Schedule 2 Conditions
1 The operator must comply with the following operational specifications:
