2. Performance Flashcards
Aircraft Types and Fitted Brakes
- B737-8200: Category B (Carbon),
- B737-800W & SFP: Category C (Steel)
B737 Perfromance Class and Aerodrome Reference Code
- Performance Class A,
- Aerodrome Reference Code 4C
Narrow Runway Definition
- Has width or cleared width < 45m,
- Minimum width 30m
Narrow Runway Restrictions
Takeoff:
- CPTs T/O unless specified in the AFB,
- Maximize Fixed Derate and Assumed Temperature,
- Both Thrust Reversers must be operative,
- Anti-skid must be operative,
- V1mcg is incremented 5KT
Landing:
- CPTs LDG unless specified in the AFB,
- Both Thrust Reversers must be operative,
- Anti-skid must be operative. If inoperative during flight, diversion to 45m RWY recommended,
- Autoland not permitted,
- For failures that affect directional control or braking, diversion to 45m RWY recommended
Crosswind Limitations:
- Decrease Normal RWY limits by 1KT per 1m reduction below 45m
SFP Differences
- Idle Thrust Delay is reduced from 5s to 2s to reduce landing distance,
- Flight spoiler and ground spoiler deflection is increased to 60 degrees,
- Configured with Sealed LE Slats for all T/O Flaps to reduce drag,
- LE Devices move to FULL EXT only at Flaps 30 and 40
3 Kelvin-Spread Rule
- Temperature 3 degrees or less and,
- Dew point spread 3 degrees or less,
- RWY Surface condition may be more slippery than anticipated
WSR
- Wet Skid-Resistant Runway,
- Credit only applied when RWYCC 5 and Anti-skid operative
- If credit not used modify OPT/NOTAM,
- No credit used in RTOW charts
Contaminated Runway Definition
- Contamination more than 25% of one-third of the runway and,
- Depth of Slush/Standing Water/Wet Snow 4mm or more or,
- Snow (Dry or Compacted), Frost, Ice, Wet Ice present
Maximum Allowed Contaminant Depth
- Slush/Standing Water/Wet Snow: 13mm,
- Dry Snow: 100mm
Slippery vs Contaminated Runway for T/O
- Contaminated: Affects both acceleration and deceleration,
- Slippery: Affects only deceleration
RWYCC and Displaced Threshold/Stopway/Starter Extension
- RWYCC refers to the physical extent of the runway,
- It does not consider declared distances
RWYCC Upgrading
- May be done after application of friction improvement process,
- Only RWYCC 0 and 1 may be upgraded to maximum RWYCC 3
SPWR
- Specially Prepared Winter Runway,,
- Contaminated with compacted snow or ice which treated with specific procedures,
- RWYCC may be reported as a maximum of RWYCC 4
RWYCC During Rainfall
Assume a RWYCC 2 when:
- If Standing Water depth 4mm or more and,
- Moderate or Heavy Rain on an Ungrooved RWY or,
- Heavy Rain on a Grooved RWY
Dry Snow and Wet Snow Reported on Top of Each Other
Use conseravtive minimum depth of 4mm of top contaminant
RWYCC Usage on T/O Calculation
- For RWYCC 5 or 4 use RWYCC,
- For RWYCC 3 or 2 use RCR to identify and use contaminant type and depth IF REQUIRED
Crosswind Limitations For Takeoff
- RWYCC 6: 33KT,
- RWYCC 5: 25 / 33KT* ,
- RWYCC 4: 22KT,
- RWYCC 3: 20KT,
- RWYCC 2: 15KT,
- : Flaps 5 or greater, CG < 25%
CG < 25% Stabilizer Trim for T/O
Rougly 5 Units or less
Crosswind Limitations for Landing
- RWYCC 6: 33KT,
- RWYCC 5: 33KT,
- RWYCC 4: 33KT,
- RWYCC 3: 25KT,
- RWYCC 2: 17KT
Takeoff Distance Required
Greater of:
- Takeoff and climb to 35/15FT with an engine failure at Vef or,
- 115% of the distance to Takeoff and climb to 35FT with all engines operating
