The runway limited take-off mass on a dry runway is the maximum take-off mass for the given airport/runway conditions, considering...
  • A
    TODA, TORA, ASDA and flap position.
  • B
    TODA, ASDA, use of available reverse thrust and flap position.
  • C
    TORA and flap position.
  • D
    TODA, TORA, ASDA, use of available reverse thrust and flap position.

Even though the question does not actually mention it, this question refers to a Class A take-off and in a Class A take-off both the "Go" and "Stop" cases are considered, assuming an engine failure at VEF and the stop/go scenarios at V1:

  • "Go" distance => TORA and TODA
  • "Stop" distance => ASDA

We would calculate the maximum TOM for each of the TORA, TODA and ASDA and choose the most limiting (lowest) mass.

Other factors taken into account to calculate the PLTOM (Performance limited takeoff mass) relate to configuration, such as flap position, runway conditions, and ambient conditions (temperature, winds). For a dry runway, the use of reverse thrust is not considered. For wet runways, where the performance will be severely degraded, the use of reverse thrust is allowed to be considered in the performance calculation.
