: Data downloaded in flight tracking websites (Flightradar24) b: Wake turbulence separation minima is based on a grouping of aircraft types into three categories according to maximum certified take-off mass (MTOM) as follows: Small (aircraft have a certificated takeoff weight less than 41,000 lb.); Large (aircraft have a certificated takeoff weight between 41,000 lb. (18,600 kg) and 255,500 lb.); Heavy: (any aircraft with takeoff weight more than 255,500 lb. (116,000 kg)). This classification is by the FAA. c: Aircraft noise certification according to ICAO regulations, Annex 16, Volume 1. Particularly complex, the higher the chapter on noise, the more stringent the noise standards for aircraft (ICAO, 2008). dTrip range in nautical miles (distance to fly). The stage length value is further used by IMPACT to select an associated aircraft default weight from the ANP database.
