Rev: It is imperative the ___ is w/in the white arc before ____ (Pg 67)
Airspeed, extending flaps
Take-Off Safety Speed (VToss): (Pg 67)
Min speed to which as AC must be accelerated to achieve TODR, = Stall speed (Vs) x safety factor of 20%
Landing Reference Speed (VREF): (Pg 67)
Airspeed the aeroplane will cross the threshold at = published in POH, = stall speed (Vs) in landing config x 1.3 (30%)
Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW): (Pg 67)
Max weight at which AC can take-off at, specified in POH
Take-off Runway Available (TORA): (Pg 67)
Declared surface available for AC to take-off on
Take-off Distance Available (TODA): (Pg 67)
Distance available for take-off from beginning of runway to 50ft AGL, inc runway, stop-way and clearway
Take-Off Distance Required (TODR): (Pg 67)
Distance aeroplane will require to accelerate from a standing start and reach 50ft AGL whilst achieving VTOSS (take-off safety speed)
Determined by Performance charts x safety factor of 15%
Landing Distance Available (LDA): (Pg 67)
Length of runway available and suitable for ground run
Landing Distance Required (LDR): (Pg 67)
Distance required for an AC to come from height of 50ft AGL to a complete stop x factor of 15%
Static RPM: (Pg 67)
Acceptable range of engine RPM with aeroplane at beginning of take-off roll, indicating sufficient power production by the engine
Circuit legs: (Pg 68)
1 Upwind, 2 Crosswind, 3 Downwind, 4 Base, 5 Final
Upwind = (Pg 68)
Initial Leg after TO, consists of climb to at least 500ft AGL, whilst tracking along extened centreline of RW
Crosswind = (Pg 68)
Carrying out 15° AoB climbing turn through 90°heading change to track perpendicular to RW, climb continued to 1000ft AGL
Downwind = (Pg 68)
Initiated when upwind threshold of RW = 45° to aeroplane’s position, downwind = reciprocal of RW
Base = (Pg 68)
Consists of descending turn through 90° heading change, should begin when aeroplane’s position = 45° to RW landing threshold, should descend to 500ft AGL
Final = (Pg 68)
Descent from 500ft AGL along extended centreline of RW
Factors affecting performance: (Pg 68)
Wind, Weight, Slope, Surface, Air Density, Flaps
Wind affects TODR + LDR: (Pg 68)
Headwind TODR = Reduced, LDR = Reduced
Tailwind TODR = Increased, LDR = Increased
Weight affects TODR + LDR: (Pg 69)
TODR = Increase, LDR = Increase
