Takeoff Distances
The
following
tables
provide
the takeoff distances for several weight
configurations, with inertial separator ON and OFF.
General notes and correction factors:
The following information applies to all the tables in this subsection.
Associated conditions:
- Landing gear DN and flaps TO,
- Short takeoff procedure,
- Hard, dry and level runway.
In table headings:
- TRQ = Torque at brake release,
- GR = Ground roll (in feet),
- D
50
= Takeoff distance over a 50-foot (15-meter) obstacle (in feet).
Corrections:
- In case of wind, apply the following corrections:
. Reduce total distances by 10% every 10 kt of headwind,
. Increase total distances by 30% every 10 kt of tail wind.
- Other runway surfaces:
Takeoff distances given in the tables are for takeoff from hard, dry and level
runway. Other runway surfaces require the following correction factors.
Increase distances by:
. 7% on hard grass,
. 10% on short grass,
. 15% on wet runway,
. 25% on high grass,
. 30% on slippery runway.
