Confused with some information from real 727

Hi,

This has nothing to do with CS 727. It is regarding real 727 limitations.

In Michael's post (new flight model), inside the readme file, http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1262843857
there is a link to some real 727 docs.

The limitations doc, says:

Take-Off and Landing Altitude Limits - (AFM) 8,300 feet

This means, by logic, that a 727 can't land nor take-off from an airport at 13300 ft, like SLLP (La Paz, Bolivia).

I know for sure, that a 727 can do that!!! I travelled there in a 727!!!

So, the question is..... how can they do it??

In the actuality they keep flying to and from that airport.    Shocked

To do that, I think they'll have weight limitations.
I haven't read the doc, but might it be that the 8,300 ft altitude limit is at max takeoff and max landing weight?
