| 词条 | Heavy (aeronautics) |
| 释义 |
The term heavy is used during radio transmissions between air traffic control and any aircraft which has been assigned a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) rating of {{convert|136|t|lb}} or more. Aircraft with a MTOW rating between 7 t and 136 t are considered medium and aircraft with a MTOW rating less than 7 t are considered light. In the US, the FAA uses a slightly different categorization, adding a block between medium and heavy, labeling aircraft capable of maximum takeoff weights more than {{convert|41000|lb|t}} and less than {{convert|300000|lb|t}} as large.[1] Such "heavy" aircraft over 136 t create wake turbulence from the wings. Thus, the term (unlike light, medium and large) is included in radio transmissions around airports during take off and landing, incorporated into their call sign so as to warn other aircraft that they need extra distance to avoid this wake turbulence. All wide-body aircraft are classified as Heavy, with the exception of the first two Airbus A300s produced (the A300B1, MTOW of “only” {{convert|291000|lb|t}}, both shorter and lighter than the mass-production A300s), while the Airbus A380 (MTOW of {{convert|575|t|lb|abbr=on}}) and the single Antonov An-225 (MTOW of {{convert|640|t|lb|abbr=on}}) are classified in the even larger category of super. Certain variants of the narrow-bodied Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 were considered "heavy" based on MTOW. Of special note here is the narrow-bodied Boeing 757. Under current guidance, the 757 is considered large, as it has a maximum MTOW of {{convert|116000|kg|lb}}. However, after a number of accidents where smaller aircraft following closely behind a 757 crashed, the rules were changed so that controllers are required to apply the special wake turbulence separation criteria specified in paragraph 5-5-4 in the FAA guidelines for aircraft separation, as though the 757 were heavy.[1][2] References1. ^1 FAA Notice N JO 7110.525 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://oea.larc.nasa.gov/PAIS/Concept2Reality/wake_vortex.html |title=Concept to Reality – Wake-Vortex Hazard |publisher=National Aeronautics and Space Administration|archivedate=July 31, 2009|accessdate=July 29, 2011|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090731181404/http://oea.larc.nasa.gov/PAIS/Concept2Reality/wake_vortex.html}} External links
