When dispatched to land at temperatures below 50°F / 46°F, and when enroute icing is forecast, use the following procedures to determine the Approach Climb Limit weight adjustment for accumulated airframe ice:
• Enter the chart labeled Approach Climb Limit for the desired landing flap setting. Read the Approach Climb Limit Weight.
• Reduce the Approach Climb Limit Weight by the following:
900ER - 26,500 pounds
Supposedly that data is not accurate. Heard that from a check airman (D.E.) FWIW. Although if it were then the 900er would not be dispatched into DEN nearly ever.
You can ask him (D.E.). He's in the ORD office every other week.
I do agree however that the 757 trumps the 900er in all things performance.
