Difference between operating weight and dry operating weight of an aircraft?
OEW = DOEW + Catering Allowance + Flight attendents
What does Dow mean in aviation terms?
DOW (Dry Operating Weight) in aviation refers to the weight of an aircraft when it is empty and without any fuel or payload. It includes the weight of the structure, systems, equipment, and furnishings of the aircraft. DOW is used to calculate the aircraft's performance, fuel calculations, and maximum payload capacity.
Are pilot operating handbooks aircraft specific?
Aircraft and airline specific.
What is operating weight?
operating weight is the sum of the dry operating weight +take off fuel.
What effect does oparating an aileron have on aircraft?
Operating the ailerons will cause the aircraft to roll.
How are aircraft controlled in flight?
Aircraft are controlled in flight by the use of main control stick operating the ailerons and elevator, and the rudder pedals operating the rudder.
What does the weight of the airplane have to do with the lift of it?
The weight of an aircraft counteracts the lift produced by an aircraft. The heavier an aircraft weighs the greater the lift needed to get off the ground.
What does operating an elevator have on an aircraft?
The elevator is a movable flying surface on the tailplane, it makes the aircraft dive or climb.

What is the difference between basic operating weight and dry operating weight?
Basic Operating weight is the total weight of an unloaded a/c, meanwhile, the DOWis the Basic weight+Bags+flight crew+catering.
Do aircraft dump fuel before landing?
Not normally. This is an emergency procedure sometimes done because the maximum takeoff weight is usually larger than the maximum landing weight on aircraft carrying large passenger or freight loads. The dumping of fuel is one action that can be used in an inflight emergency; however, I can guarantee that the takeoff weight of ANY aircraft (unless refueled in flight) is ALWAYS greater than said aircraft's landing weight. Fuel used enroute will always reduce the gross landing weight. Aircraft are generally serviced with enough fuel to make its primary destination and an alternate runway (due of emergency). The landing weight can be adjusted by dumping fuel (normally) in case of damage to the aircraft or destination runway conditions (snow/ice, rain) requiring a lighter aircraft gross landing weight. Naval aircraft operating from Carriers routinely dump fuel to adjust for landing conditions (wet deck, reduced landing area, slower ship speed into the wind, etc...).
