1.3 Vsr0 or Vmcl (whatever is greater)

Question 12

Where does most of the breaking force come from

Answer 12

Breaks

Except in contaminated / icing conditions = reverse thrust now most dominant

Answer 16

1.15

Question 17

What is the safety factor for landing distances on a contaminated runway if contaminated landing distances are given

Answer 17

1.15 x the figure given

Question 18

What is the runway length you need to have available for a jet

Answer 18

Landing distance x safety factor x 1.67

Question 19

What is the runway length you need to have available for a propeller

Answer 19

Landing distance x safety factor x 1.43
