  • @BlackLabelSlushie No problem :))

  • @Schappe94 Wow thank you for the very specific and detailed answer. I always wondered about that.

    Aircraft weight classes

    a/ Heavy. Aircraft capable of takeoff weights of more than 255,000 pounds whether or not they are operating at this weight during a particular flight.

    b/ Large. Aircraft of more than 41,000 pounds, maximum certificated takeoff weight, up to 255,000 pounds.

    c/ Small. Aircraft of 41,000 pounds or less maximum certificated takeoff weight."

    Any aircraft that's classified as heavy must use the word "Heavy" when communicating with airtraffic control. ;)

  • Out of curiosity: What does it mean when they say "Avianca HEAVY". Does the "heavy" simply mean a large commercial jet?
