Aircraft with a MTOW rating between 7 tonne, t and 136 t are considered ''medium'', and aircraft with a MTOW rating less than 7 t are considered ''light''. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA uses a slightly different categorization, adding a block between medium and heavy, labeling aircraft capable of maximum takeoff weights more than and less than as ''large''.
