... 36 The aircraft information includes general engine type, aircraft design and approach speed groups, maximum takeoff weight, useful load and flap settings used for takeoff and landing calculations. Figure 23 shows that for a Textron Aviation King Air B350ER the aircraft is limited to carry 43% of its maximum useful load (takeoff weight is 13,329 lb.)
