5.5 FLIGHT PLANNING EXAMPLE (continued)
(b) Takeoff and Landing
Now that the airplane loading has been determined, all
aspects of the takeoff and landing must now 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 and Takeoff Ground Roll
graph (Figures 5-9, 5-11, 5-13 and 5-15) 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
flight have fallen well below the available runway lengths.

be considered by the pilot when computing
climb, cruise and descent performance.
