29,480 kg (65,000 lb).

The Maximum Landing Weight shall in no case exceed
26,760 kg (59,000 lb).

  1.03 Loading  
           
    The aircraft must be loaded in accordance with an approved loading
schedule based upon authorized weights and associated center of
grafity limits.
 
 
  1.04 Center of Gravity  
           
    The center of grafity of the aircraft must be maintained between the
forward and aft limits shown in the table appropriate to the conditions.

The center of gravity limits as shown, apply to the landing gear extended
and retracted configuration.

(87.4 inches) in front of forward leveling pin in nose wheelbay
(tip of a/c nose).

    Notes:

1. Use of maximum take-off power for normal schedule operation is
    limited to a maximum period of 5 minutes. In the event of an engine
    failure the remaining engine may be operated at take-off power for
    maximum total period of 10 minutes.

2. These limits are adjustment limits, applicable to a warm engine.
    For a cold engine, directly after starting, the limit is 47% to
    53% HP rpm.

3. If the overspeed limitations (RPM or time) are exceeded, the engine
    should be shut down.

  1.18 Take-Off and Landing Speeds  
           
    The take-off and landing speeds are obtained as follows:

It is assumed that V1 = VR.

For take–off with flaps 28 deg or 11 deg the take-off speeds are based
on V2 0 = 1.20 VS

For take-off with flaps 6 deg V2´s ranging from 1.20 to 1.30 VS may be scheduled in order to increase the take-off weight for those conditions where sufficient runway length is available but a climb limit exists.

Enter the booklet at the correct weight page.
On the lower chart find V2, VFR and VFC for the particular flap setting.

To calculate VR:

Enter the upper chart at the field elevation, move horizontally to the OAT line and vertically to the particular flap bracket and find ^V.
Substract ^V from V2 to find VR (=V1).
At the bottom of the lower page the threshold speeds for landing are presented.
