What are those notes on the top left?

Ok, Hopefully this won't be too embarassing for me, but what are those numbers and letters under each runway on the top left of this chart? Alts., dists. I can't figure it out...

Thanks for your help.

I believe those are maximum landing weights for each runway for a given landing gear configuration, ie...single wheel main gear, tandem wheel main gear, tandem dual, etc. The numbers are the weight in thousands of pounds. (120= 12,000 lb and so forth) Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It has to do with weight and landing gear. S = Single T = Tandem IIRC.

And I think the weight is in hundreds

Example
13L-31R S120

Single landing gear (one wheel at each point - not just one wheel) 12,000 pounds.

It's been a looooooong time since I was asked, but I'm 99.9% sure that's the answer I had looked up.

Hope it helps.

Oops, your right, the weight is in hundreds of pounds. Had a case of brain fade, it's been a long day!

*edit*
Glad to see I was right though...something sunk in anyway

And does DFW really need all of those arrivals? It seems like I spend a quarter of my revision time replacing Dallas charts and I have yet to fly there...

Thanks

Awesome. That makes sense. I am just glad it wasn't something completely obvious and I was a moron....well at least it wasn't obvious... Before posting the question on here, I did look it up on the nos Legend but skipped right over those 2 lines of explanation... They sure don't go into much detail. Anyways, Thanks again.
