The landing and take-off cycle refers to aircraft CO₂ emissions on the ground and during take-off and landing below 3,000&nbsp;feet (914&nbsp;meters). Up to this internationally defined height, any greenhouse gases associated with aircraft turbines are attributed to the airports concerned and distances from the airport of about 8&nbsp;kilometers in the case of departing aircraft, depending on the climbout, and 17&nbsp;kilometers in the case of arriving aircraft.

Landing and take-off cycle (LTO cycle)

A measurement unit used to track all commercial passenger and cargo traffic. One TU is equivalent to one passenger arriving at or departing from an airport with hand luggage (a total of 100&nbsp;kilograms) or 100&nbsp;kilograms of airfreight or airmail turned over or a combination of passenger volumes (arrivals and departures) and the local airfreight and airmail volumes (unloaded and loaded).
