Maximum Takeoff Weight
(MTOW)

Maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff run.

Outside Air Temperature
(OAT)

The free air static temperature obtained either from in-flight temperature
indications or ground meteorological sources, adjusted for instrument error

and compressibility.

Pressure Altitude

Station Pressure Altitude measured from standard sea level pressure

(29.92 inches of mercury) (1013.2 millibars) by a pressure or barometric
altimeter. It is the indicated pressure altitude corrected for position and
instrument error. In this handbook, altimeter instrument errors are

assumed to be zero. Actual atmospheric pressure at field elevation.

Temperature Recovery

(Ram Rise) Indicated Pressure Altitude Aerodynamic heating which occurs
to a temperature probe and increases as a function of Mach number.

Indicated Outside Air Temperature (OAT) must be reduced by the Ram Rise
to derive the true OAT, also referred to as Static Air Temperature. The

number actually read from an altimeter when the barometric subscale has
been set to 29.92 inches of mercury (1013.2 millibars).
