(4) the landing distance available means the distance from The line of intersection with the surface of the aerodrome of a plane having the following characteristics-

6) it is inclined tu a gradient of 1 în 20,

(ii) it clears all obstacles.

(ii) it is symmetrical about a vertical plane containing the centre line of the runway or strip intended to be used for landing.

(iv) it extends for 1,500 feet from its intersection with the surface of the aerodrome in the direction opposite to the direction of landing of the aeroplane,

(v) its width is 400 feet at its intersection with the surface of the aerodrome and increases uniformly to a width of 1000 feel at its other end.

to the nearest point in the direction of landing at which the surface of the aerodrome is incapable of bearing the weight of the neroplane under normal operating condi- tions or at which there is an obstacle capable of affecting the safety of the acroplane.

40. For the purposes of regulations 33 to 39 -

(1) The weight of the aeroplane at the commencement of the take-off run shall be its gross weight including everything and everyone carried in or on it at the commencement of the take-off

THAT:

(2) The direction of take-off and the direction of landing shall be the directions respectively most suitable for take-off and land- ing at the aerodmaws in the wind conditions specified in such regulations.

(3) Where any distance mentioned in regulation 30 has been declared in respect of any aerodrome by the authority responsible for regulating air navigation over the territory of the Contracting State in which the aerodrome is situate, and in the case of an aerodrome in the Colony, declared by the Director, such declared distance shall be deemed to be the relevant distance.

With reference to paragraph (5) of Article 17 of the Order, the requirements specified therein relating to the comple- tion of load sheets shall be complied with in respect of every flight to be made by a public transport aircraft, except a public transport aircraft of which the maximum total weight authorized does not exceed 2.500 lb. :

Provided that the said requirements shall not apply in respect of a fight to be made by a public transport aircraft-

(a) solely for the purpose of training any persons carried therein, in addition to the personnel thereof, to perform duties in an aircraft; or

(b) as a local pleasure flight of short duration commencing from and finishing at one and the same aerodrome with no intermediate landing.

43. (1) Every load sheet required in accordance with the provisions of regulation 42 shall contain-

(a) particulars of the nationality and registration marks of

the aircraft;

(b) sufficient data to enable the particular flight to be readily

identified;

(c) particulars of the several weights (e.g. weight empty, removable equipment, fuel and oil, passengers, goods, etc.) from which the total weight of the aircraft as loaded has been computed; and

(d) a certificate by the person superintending the loading of the aircraft that the aircraft has been loaded in accord- ance with the written loading instructions furnished to him by the operator of the aircraft.

(2) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this regulation, the weight of the crew and passengers of an aircraft entered in the load sheet shall be computed from the actual weight of each person as ascertained by individual weighings.

(3) In respect of an aircraft having a total seating capacity of twelve persons or more, the person superintending the loading of the aircraft may, if so instructed by the person in command of
