RP
Reference Plane, an imaginary vertical plane which forms the
origin for all center-of-gravity calculations
MAC
Mean Aerodynamic Chord
MTOM
Maximum Take-Off Mass (cf. MTOW)

the reference plane
Moment
Product of Mass and Lever of a body
Non-useable
Fuel
Fuel which remains in the tank and is not available for the flight
Useable Fuel Amount of fuel which is available for the flight
Payload
Difference between empty-mass and take-off-mass
NLP
