Heavy jets are generally aircraft that are capable of takeoff weights of more than 255,000 pounds whether or not they are operating at this weight during a particular phase of flight.

 


HEAVY JETS See 'Large-Cabin Jets.'
HORSEPOWER The motive energy required to raise 550 lbs. one foot in one second, friction disregarded.

Mostly required for heavy jets. Know what the STARs are so you know what ATC is doing. What you usually see on a STAR is what you will normally get as a clearance when filing "No STAR". Star transitions are just branches from the root route.
