About

The short-fuselage 228 strengthened to 5,980 kg take-off weight. Its landing weight stays at the -100's 5,700 kg, so the extra 280 kg has to be burned off before it comes back down. The cruise speed, range, ceiling, climb rate and take-off distance are EUROCONTROL's figures for the D228 type code rather than a certificate's: a type certificate states limits and weights, not cruise performance, and the source does not distinguish sub-variants.
