(b) Takeoff and Landing
Now that the aircraft loading has been determined, all aspects
of 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 5-5 and 5-7 or
5-9 and 5-11) 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.
Departure Destination
Airport Airport
(1) Pressure Altitude 1100 ft. 800 ft.
(2) Temperature 8°C 13°C
(3) Wind Component 10 KTS 2 KTS
(Headwind) (Tailwind)
(4) Runway Length Available 4800 ft. 7600 ft.
(5) Runway Required 1320 ft.* 1600**
NOTE
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.
