Performance (All answers can be found in AFM Chapter 6, QRH1 or FPCCM)

Question 1

If the BTMS reading is in the white band following a rejected takeoff (RTO), how much time must be allotted for the BTMS to peak so that determination can be made about brake energy limitations?

Answer 1

35 minutes (AFM Chapter 6, Takeoff Performance)

AFM Chapter 6, Takeoff Performance

Question 2

What is the maximum BTMS temperature for takeoff?

Answer 2

Maximum BTMS of 15 and decreasing (AFM Chapter 6, Takeoff Performance)

AFM Chapter 6, Takeoff Performance

Question 3

Describe the crosswind takeoff procedure and when to use it:

Answer 3

• When the crosswind component is 18 kt or more, do not exceed 60% N1 below 30KT
• At 30KT, promptly set TO thrust.

Question 4

Follow-on question to previous question: what is TOFL correction when the crosswind takeoff procedure is used?

Answer 4

• 1700ft is added to TOFL

Note: this additive is automatically accomplished in the FMS when the winds are entered

Question 5

What is the level-off altitude using the low-speed drift-down performance if the aircraft is at FL450, weighs 100,000lb and the temperature is ISA (WCAI OFF)?

Answer 5

30,400ft (QRH1 PERF-06-23)

Question 6

For the following questions use: 25°C and 1000ft pressure altitude with an aircraft weight of 95,000lb.

What is the FLAP 2 AEO takeoff climb gradient (WCAI OFF)?

Answer 6

21.47% (QRH1 PERF-02-25)

Question 7

For the following questions use: 25°C and 1000ft pressure altitude with an aircraft weight of 95,000lb.

What is the FLAP 2 OEI net takeoff climb gradient?

Answer 7

5.51% (QRH1 PERF-02-4)

Question 8

For the following questions use: 25°C and 1000ft pressure altitude with an aircraft weight of 95,000lb.

What are the V-speeds and TOFL? (QRH1 PERF-01-11)

Answer 8

• V1 = 122kt
• VR = 122kt
• V2 = 133kt
• VFTO = 185kt
• TOFL = 4910ft

Question 9

For the following questions use: 25°C and 1000ft pressure altitude with an aircraft weight of 95,000lb.

What corrections are made to the TOLD data determined in the previous question if the runway is contaminated with compacted snow? (QRH1 PERF-01-38)

Answer 9

• V1 = 112kt
• TOFL = 1.14 distance factor

Question 10

If you are taking off with Type II, III and IV anti-icing fluids, what corrections must be made to VR, V2 and TOFL?

Answer 10

• Increase VR and V2 by 5kt
• Increase TOFL by 20%

Question 11

At the time of arrival at your destination, the runway condition code is 2 and the pilot-reported braking action is ‘medium to poor’. If the airplane is at maximum gross landing weight, what is the OLD (operational landing distance) at a pressure altitude of 1000ft?

Answer 11

6220ft (QRH1 PERF-03-35)

Question 12

What would the OLD penalty factor be for a 10kt tailwind for the scenario described in question 11?

Answer 12

Penalty factor = +30% (QRH1 PERF-03-35)
