GENERAL AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS

2.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EMB-120 Brasilia has been basically conceived for passenger and/or cargo
transportation in typical commercial aviation operations.
It is an all-metal, pressurized, low-wing, T-tail, monoplane airplane.
Fully retractable, tricycle-type landing gear with dual wheels, anti-skid braking
system, and steerable nose gear are utilized. Power is provided by two turboprop,
axial-flow, PW118-series engines. Fuel is stored in two integral wing tanks. As
an option, the airplane may be provided with an auxiliary power unit (APU).

2.2. DEFINITIONS

2.2.1. Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW)

Is the maximum approved weight for the airplane with only unusable fuel in
tanks.

2.2.2. Equipped Empty Weight (EEW TOLERANCE = ± 1%)

Is the total weight of the airplane structure plus power plant, instruments,
control, hydraulic, electronic, electrical, air conditioning, anemometric,
oxygen, de-icing and anti-icing, pressurization systems, plus interior
furnishings, etc.

2.2.3. Basic Empty Weight (BEW)

Is the equipped empty weight plus unusable fuel, total engine oil, total
hydraulic fluid and, when existing, removable ballast weights.

2.2.4. Maximum Payload

Is the difference between maximum zero fuel weight and operating weight.

2.2.5. Operating Weight (OW)

Is the basic empty weight plus weights of movable items which do not alter
significantly along a mission. Such items include toilet water, crew, attendant
material, extra and emergency equipment possibly needed.

2.2.6. Useful Load

Is the difference between takeoff weight and equipped empty weight.

2.2.7. Maximum Taxi Weight (MTW)

Is the maximum weight for ground maneuver as limited by aircraft strength and
airworthiness requirements. (It includes weight for taxiing and runup fuel).

2.2.8. Maximum Landing Weight (MLW)

Is the maximum weight for landing as limited by aircraft strength and


airworthiness requirements.

2.2.9. Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW)

Is the maximum weight for takeoff as limited by aircraft strength and


airworthiness requirements. (This is the maximum weight at start of the takeoff
run).
