Performance Flashcards
What is takeoff field length on a dry runway?
The distance required for an aircraft to take off on a dry runway
What is takeoff field length on a wet runway?
The distance required for an aircraft to take off on a wet runway
What are Vspeeds?
Key speed references for aircraft performance during flight
Includes V1, V2, and Vr, among others.
What is the 2nd segment takeoff net climb gradient?
The rate of climb achieved during the second segment of takeoff
Expressed as a percentage.
What is landing distance on a dry runway?
The distance required for an aircraft to land on a dry runway
This distance can be influenced by factors such as weight and approach speed.
What is landing distance on a wet runway?
The distance required for an aircraft to land on a wet runway
What is contaminated runway performance?
The performance characteristics of an aircraft landing or taking off on a runway with contaminants like snow or ice
What is downhill landing correction?
The adjustments made to compensate for a landing on a downhill slope
What is the approach and landing gross climb gradient?
The overall climb gradient achievable during the approach and landing phase
What is configuration for different segments of flight?
The specific settings and configurations of an aircraft for various phases of flight
Includes settings for takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing.
Calculate the wind component for flight operations.
The assessment of wind direction and speed affecting takeoff and landing performance
