TOLD definitions Flashcards
Take-Off Rated Thrust (TRT)
And what variables affect it?
TRT is the maximum allowable thrust (determined by fan speed, N1.
Varies with pressure altitude, RAT, and bleed air usage. Operation limited to 5 MIN
Maximum Continuous Thrust
Maximum allowable thrust (Determined by fan speed, N1) that my be used without a time limitation.
Varies with pressure altitude, ram air temperature, and bleed air usage
What three factors affect TRT and MCT
Pressure altitude, ram air temperature, and bleed air usage.
Runway Available
Runway length minus any unuseable portion of the runway such as the aircraft lineup distance or barriers on or above the runway
Runway Length
Paved surface length excluding any over run
Critical Engine Failure Speed
The speed at which one engine can fail and the same distance is required to either continue to accelerate to lift off speed or abort and decelerate to a full stop
Critical Field Length (CFL)
Total length of runway required to accelerate on all engines to “Critical Engine Failure Speed”, have engine failure then continue to lift off or stop.
Used during T/O planning to determine MAX gross weight for a safe T/O and climbout. Safe T/O…CFL can’t be greater than RWY available
Take-Off Factor
%N1 settings adjusted for OAT and altitude. Presented on a different scale
Take-Off Ground Run
RWY distance normally obtained in service operation @ zero wind, @ the mission specified weight, pressure altitude, thrust setting, ambient temperature, and appropriate T/O configuration using lift-off Speed.
Refusal Speed (Vr)
MAX allowable speed that can be attained with normal acceleration, from which a stop can be completed within the available runway length
Maximum Braking Speed
MAX speed from which the aircraft can be brought to a stop W/O exceeding the maximum brake energy limit (14.8 Million foot pounds)
Rotation Speed (Vrot)
Speed at which the aircraft attitude is increased from the ground run (taxi) attitude to lift-off attitude). Vrot > Vmcg
Vrot must be greater than…
Vmcg
Lift Off
The moment at which the main gear lift off the runway
Lift Off Speed
The speed at which lift off occurs
