The
ratio of
the
change in height during
a portion of a climb, to the horizontal
distance traversed,
in
the same time
interval.
The
demonstrated crosswind velocity is
the
velocity
of
the
crosswind
component
for
which adequate control
of
the
airplane
during
takeoff
and
landing
was
actually
demonstrated
during
certification tests. The value I
shown
is not limiting.
The
distance required to accelerate an
airplane to a specified speed and, as-
suming failure of an engine at the in-
stant that
speed
is attained, to bring the
airplane to a stop.
The
distance required to accelerate an
airplane to a specified speed and, as-
suming failure of an engine at the in-
stant that
speed
is
attained, feather in-
operative propeller and continue takeoff
on
the
remaining engine to a height
of
50
feet.
Minimum
Enroute IFR Altitude.
A part of a route. Each end of that part
is identified by:

(2) A point at which a definite radio fix
can be established
