Introduction to scheduled performance

Question 1

What sufficient Performance requirements are there for Scheduled performance?

Answer 1

Performance Planning
Fuel Planning

Question 2

What are the principles for Principles of Scheduled Performance (SP)?

Answer 2

The basic airworthiness requirement for a multi-engine aircraft is that it is able to proceed safely from its point of departure to its destination without running out of fuel or colliding with any obstacles along its designated route.

Question 3

What is V1?

Answer 3

The maximum speed during take-off at which the pilot must take the first action (e.g. apply brakes, reduce thrust, deploy speed brakes) to stop the aircraft within the accelerate-stop distance available

Question 4

What is Rotation Speed – VR?

Answer 4

The speed at which the pilot initiates rotation during the take-off ground run with the intention of becoming airborne

Question 5

What is Maximum Brake Energy Speed – VMBE?

Answer 5

The maximum speed on the ground from which an aircraft can safely stop within the energy capabilities of the brakes

Question 6

What is Air Minimum Control Speed - VMCA?

Answer 6

The minimum flight speed at which a multi-engine aircraft is controllable, with a maximum of 5° bank, following the failure of the critical engine with the remaining engines at take-off power

Question 7

What is Take-Off Safety Speed -V2?

Answer 7

The target speed to be attained at the 35 ft screen height following the failure of the critical engine

Question 8

What is Final Segment Speed – VFS

Answer 8

The speed to be achieved for the final segment of the take-off flight path with the critical engine inoperative, landing gear and flaps retracted

Question 9

What is Approach Climb Speed - VAC?

Answer 9

Missed-approach climb speed for flap configuration with critical engine inoperative

Question 10

What is Reference Landing Speed – VREF?

Answer 10

The speed of the aircraft, in the specified landing configuration, at screen height, which is used to determine the landing distance for manual landings

Question 11

what are the Four Stages of SP Planning?

Answer 11

Take-Off
Take-Off Climb or Net Take-Off Flight Path
En Route
Landing

Question 12

What does SP planning calculate?

Answer 12

The maximum regulated weight at which the aircraft can still achieve the required performance for each stage of flight.
The most limiting regulated weight from all stages determines the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft.

Question 13

The two take off stages are?

Answer 13

Above 35ft and then 1500ft.
