(e) Maximum gross weight for take-off shall mean the maximum gross weight which an aircraft may lawfully have, at the time of leaving the ground at any airport in the United States (under the most favorable conditions which may exist at such airport and without regard to special limiting factors arising out of the particular time, place or circumstances of the particular take-off, such as runway length, air temperature, or the like). If such maximum gross weight is not fixed by or pursuant to law, then said phrase shall mean the actual gross weight at take-off.

(f) Such charges shall not be payable in connection with the following:

(1) “Touch-and-go” and similar operations in which the aircraft comes in contact with the runways or ground and, without coming to a stop, thereafter resumes the flight by leaving the ground from the same runway and in the same direction, provided that the aircraft originates and terminates its flight at the airport and provided, further, that the initial take-off is subject to such charges.

(2) Test flights which originate and terminate at the airport, provided:

(i) The repairs and/or work under test have been performed by an airport operator permittee at the airport;

(ii) No intermediate landings take place at other airports; and

(iii) Not more than two hours elapse between the time an aircraft is duly authenticated for the test flight by the airport operator permittee performing the repairs and/or work and the time the aircraft returns to the airport.

(3) In the event an aircraft departs from the airport for another destination, which aircraft without making a stop at another airport, is forced to return to and land at the airport because of meteorological conditions, mechanical or operating causes or for any similar emergency or precautionary reason, such charge shall not be payable in connection with the subsequent departure of such aircraft or a substituted aircraft; provided, however, that on such subsequent departure the aircraft or substituted aircraft is destined for the same point and transports the same or substantially the same load.
