cases, the pilot must make an accurate prediction of takeoff distance from the performance data of the AFM/POH, regardless of the runway available, and strive for a polished, professional takeoff procedure. In the prediction of takeoff distance from the AFM/POH ... effect of density altitude on distance • Gross weight—a large effect on distance • Wind—a large effect due to the wind or wind component along the runway • Runway slope and condition—the effect of an incline and retarding effect…

performance of the engine(s). This may have a significant effect on climb performance (especially one engine inoperative climb performance in multiengine turboprops, turbojets, and turbofans). This performance loss is the reason this system is not common on smaller turbine ... powered airplanes. Pilots should keep in mind that while cruising or descending with anti-ice systems on, higher-than-normal power settings may be required to ensure sufficient bleed air is being supplied to the anti-ice system…

increase in the stall speed. (2) A layer of ice that is rough at any thickness on a wing’s leading edge can have a significant effect on aircraft performance, stability, and control. Consequently, some manufacturers now advise that ... guidance on proper use of the system. (3) At the AOA typical of cruise, this ice should have very little effect on lift. An increase in stall speed becomes more of a concern at higher AOAs characteristic of approach…

layer of water separates the tires from the runway surface. This is also true of braking effectiveness when runways are covered in ice. When the runway is wet, the pilot may be confronted with dynamic hydroplaning. Dynamic hydroplaning ... some runways are grooved to help drain off water; most runways are not. Figure 11-16. An aircraft’s performance during takeoff depends greatly on the runway surface. Figure 11-17. Chart Supplement U.S. (formerly Airport/Facility Directory) information. Tire pressure…

tail wheel The pilot must be knowledgeable about the effect of weight on the performance of the particular aircraft being flown. Preflight planning should include a check of performance charts to determine if the aircraft’s weight may contribute ... weight change that takes place. As fuel is used, an aircraft becomes lighter and performance is improved. Changes of fixed equipment have a major effect upon the weight of an aircraft. The installation of extra radios or instruments, as well…
