The pilot’s operating handbook.
5
Q
Takeoff and landing distances are affected by:
A
- Runway conditions
- Wind.
- Density altitude
- Airplane weight
- Runway slope.
6
Q
Which two numbers are calculated for takeoff and landing performance?
A
- Ground roll distance
2. Total distance to clear an obstacle.
7
Q
Before attempting to land on a short runway in calm wind:
