Airbus A320 Limitations & Performance

The limitations of an aircraft restrict its operation in order to ensure the safety of each of them. While commercial aircraft have limitations that are difficult to overcome in normal operation, it is important that the pilot knows each of them and respects its maximum values on each flight.



In this information manual, all the operational limitations of an AIRBUS A320 standard model are detailed. The maximum takeoff and landing weight, the maximum crosswind component, maximum speeds, and a number of limitations that the aircraft must not exceed at any time during the flight. The pilot in command will be responsible for complying with this condition of safe flight, respecting the maximum values for each case.



Knowing the limitations of the aircraft will help the pilot to understand the operation of his aircraft and operate it within the safe and effective parameters of flight.
