1
Q

What is a clearway? Does it include the stopway? Is the length of the clearway included in the TODA?

A

An area beyond the paved runway, that is controlled by the airport authority and clear of obstacles.

It does include the stopway.

Yes, it is included in the TODA.

Q

What is a limiting factor when using an FMS to calculate takeoff or landing performance?

A

The FMS only shows the physical length of the runway and does not take into account that the runway length available for takeoff or landing may be shorter due to other factors.

Q

An aircraft is suitable for an airfield if the _____ is less than or equal to the _____?

A

ACN, PCN

19
Q

Where is the ACN located?

A

In the Airplane Flight Manual

20
Q

Describe the meaning of each of the values in the following: PCN 67 R/B/W/T

A

67- Load carrying capacity
R- Pavement type
B- Subgrade category
W- Allowable tire pressure
T- Method used to determine PCN

21
Q

What are four things that can influence takeoff performance?

A
  • AFM maximum structural weight
  • Brake Energy
  • Runway length
  • Climb
22
Q

What is accelerate-stop distance?

A

The distance to accelerate to a point in the takeoff, then respond to an event, reject the takeoff at V1, bring the aircraft to a safe stop.

23
Q

What is takeoff distance?

A

It is the longer of the following:

  • One-engine inoperative distance needed to attain 35 feet above the runway (Dry).
  • One-engine inoperative distance needed to attain 15 feet above the runway (Wet).
  • 115% of the all engines operating takeoff distance to 35 feet
24
Q

What does FAR 135.179 relate to?

A

Climb performance

25
Q

In FAR 135.379 what is the required climb performance?

A

Your net flight path must clear obstacles by 35 vertically and 300 feet laterally.

26
Q

What is first segment climb?

A

Liftoff until the landing gear is fully retracted.

27
Q

What is second segment climb?

A

One engine inoperative at V2 (gear retraction) until aircraft’s published level off (acceleration height). Minimum climb gradient of 2.4%

28
Q

What is the definition of V2 speed?

A

Takeoff Safety Speed, ensures that the aircraft is controllable and meets the minimum climb gradient.

29
Q

What is third segment climb?

A

Segment where the aircraft is leveled off and accelerated through the takeoff flap retraction speed (V2+25). At the end of third segment you reduce to from takeoff power to MCT.

30
Q

What is fourth (final segment climb)?

A

Begins once you have accelerated to the final segment climb speed and ends at 1,500 ft AGL.

31
Q

If no climb gradient is published, what gradient can be assumed?

A

200 feet per NM

32
Q

What is the definition of low, close obstacles?

A

Obstacles within one mile of runway end and less than 200 feet.

33
Q

Published IFR departure procedures do not consider ____ _______ in obstacles because the procedure is designed for all engines operating.

A

low close

34
Q

TAWS

A

Terrain Avoidance Warning System

35
Q

GPWS

A

Ground Proximity Warning System

36
Q

TAD

A

Terrain Alerting and Display

37
Q

What is the most common type of EOP (Engine Out Procedure)?

A

Runway heading

38
Q

Climb as quickly as possible to what altitude after takeoff?

A

1,500 AGL

39
Q

What is Approach Climb?

A

It is the FAA’s certification terminology for a missed approach after an engine failure.

40
Q

What is Landing Climb?

A

It is the FAA’s terminology for a “go around” or “balked landing”

41
Q

What is the “landing climb” gradient that an aircraft must meet?

A

3.2%

42
Q

What is the “approach climb” gradient that an aircraft must meet?

A

2.1%

43
Q

When are two situations where you must add 15% to the landing distance?

A
  • Wet runway
  • Visibility 3/4 mile or RVR 4000
