Aircraft Weight and Limitations An aircraft’s weight affects inertia and stopping distance. The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Smaller aircraft may only have short field landing distances for maximum gross weight. x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL.

The Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for your airplane will list V A , typically for maximum gross weight. However, it is best practice to start a steep turn no lower than 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL). Any airspeed above V A can cause the aircraft to be damaged when performing maneuvers.
