Altimeter Gross Weight Threshold 
Plane and Pilot
APRIL 1, 2025
Altimeter set. I crossed the runway threshold at 70 mph and let a little more speed bleed off as I attempted to stay a few inches off the runway with the nosewheel slightly up. I set the speed at 1,400 rpm. I focused on temperatures and pressures for several minutes, waiting for the oil to warm. Pitch trim neutral. Fuel pump on.

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. The greater the mass of the aircraft, the longer the landing roll.
