Is this LARGE?

[ClassG]

Anyone care to help me define a "Large Transport Category Airplane"????

Large is 12,500# (+) MGTOW certification.
Transport Category is Part 25 certification.

Please tell me if the definition is that simple. SEEMS that a LARGE would be more than the basic 12.5K designation??

BTW, this is to help determine which regs (definitely) apply to our LARGE Citation II.

Thanks.

Look at Aircraft Classes in the AIM Pilot/Controller Glossary.

Heavy=255,000+
Large=41,000 to 255,000
Small= less than 41,000

Yes, it is that simple.

time builder's quote from the P/C Glossary doesn't apply to regulations, only wake turbulence separation standards:

AIRCRAFT CLASSES- For the purposes of Wake Turbulence Separation Minima, ATC classifies aircraft as Heavy, Large, and Small as follows:
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 phase of 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.

Whereas Part 1 defines it, as you thought, as more than 12,500 lbs:

Large aircraft means aircraft of more than 12,500 pounds, maximum certificated takeoff weight.

Fly safe!
