SEP Calculations Requirements

Question 1

What is the only take-off requirement for SEP aeroplanes in EU-OPS and what is there not a requirement of that is included for other classes?

Answer 1

only take-off requirement is for FIeld Length, there is no take-off climb requirement

Question 2

SEP field length regulation factor

when no stopway or clearway is available the t/o distance required when multiplied by what factor, must not exceed …

Answer 2

1.25

TORA

(max TODR is 0.8x TODA)

Question 3

SEP field length regulation factors

when a stopway and/or clearway is available TOD must not exceed … (three limits)

Answer 3

TORA

when multiplied by 1.3, not exceed ASDA (ASDA x 0.77)

when multiplied by 1.15, not exceed TODA (TODA x 0.87)
