SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE
(b) Takeoff and Landing
Now that the aircraft loading has been determined, all aspects
of the takeoff and landing must be considered.
All of the existing conditions at the departure and destination
airport must be acquired, evaluated and maintained throughout
the flight.
Apply the departure airport conditions and takeoff weight to
the appropriate Takeoff Performance graph (Figures 5-7 and
5-9 or 5-11 and 5-13) to determine the length of runway necessary
for the takeoff and/or the barrier distance.
The landing distance calculations are performed in the same
manner using the existing conditions at the destination airport and,
when established, the landing weight.
The conditions and calculations for the example flight are listed
below. The takeoff and landing distances required for the example
flight have fallen well below the available runway lengths.
(1) Pressure Altitude
(2) Temperature
(3) Wind Component
(4) Runway Length Available
(5) Runway Required
The remainder of the performance charts used
in this flight planning example assume a no
wind condition. The effect of winds aloft must
be considered by the pilot when computing
climb, cruise and descent performance.
