Landing - Ch 13 Flashcards
Starts
Screen height 50ft
Stops
Full stop
Landing distance
The difference between the screen heigh and the full stop (LD)
LDR
Landing distance required
Distance of landing effected by
Speed and weight
5% faster = 10% longer LD
Vref
Min: VMCL
Above stall SPD: Class B: 1.30VS0 Class A: 1.23Vsr0
Stop Distance Determined by
Brakes
Reverse Thrust
Drag
Reverse thrust used more than brakes when RW contaminated
Contamination effect on LD
You must be below Vp before you start braking/before they start taking effect
Positive touchdown
Brakes and Temperature
Higher temp can decrease the effectiveness/efficiency of the brakes
Brakes heat up as you use them
Vref affected by
Vref increases with decreasing flap setting
Decreased air density will increase Vref (hot and high)
As they increase you GS
Wind
Headwind: Decreases GS - only allowed to account for 50% FC
Tailwind: Increases GS - account for 150% FC
Braking in wet conditions
WET LD = 1.15 x Dry LD
Downslope
1% downslope = 5% increase in LD
MAX Planned Length of RW used for LD
70% total RW: Prop
60% total RW: Jet
