Landing performance
Final approach speed should be 56 kts (104 km/h) with flaps extended to +25
o
. The required landing
runway length may also vary depending on the elevation, gross weight, touchdown velocity, wind
direction and how aggressive the braking action is (i.e. recuperation).
The landing roll measures 440 ft (135 m) in the following conditions: aircraft at MTOM, airport at sea
level and wind calm.
Total landing distance over 50 ft/15 m obstacle measures 1615 feet (492 m).
Landing roll increases by 10% for every 2000 ft (610 m) increase in density altitude.
Total landing distance increases by 2% for every 2000 ft (610 m) increase in density altitude.
Energy recuperation decreases required runway length and makes the approach steeper!
Crosswind takeoffs/landings
The maximum allowed crosswind component speed on takeoff and landing is 18 kts (34 km/h).
In these conditions it is recommended not to takeoff with flaps positioned at +25.
Normal crosswind landings are made with flaps extended to +15º. Avoid prolonged slips. After touch-
down, hold a straight course with rudder and brakes as required.
Only in case of high crosswind component it is permitted to land with flaps retracted (0º).
The runway length required increases by 10% for every 5 kts of crosswind component.
