SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE
(b) Takeoff and Landing
After determining the aircraft loading, all aspects of takeoff
and landing must be considered.
Conditions of 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 (Figure5-7 or 5-9) to
determine the barrier distance or (Figure5-11 or 5-13) to determine
the length of runway necessary for the takeoff.
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 (Headwind)
(4) Runway Length Available
(5) Runway Required
The remainder of the performance charts used in
this flight plan example assume a no wind
condition. The effect of winds aloft must be
considered by the pilot when computing climb,
cruise and descent performance.
