alert controllers or pilots in the area of the EAL aircraft’s imminent arrival to the selected runway. The system repeatedly transmits the call sign and intention to divert to a particular airport and runway using a recognizable ... control (ATC) to communicate with potential conflicting traffic. Once the EAL aircraft is within 12 miles of the selected runway and at or below 12,000 feet MSL, it broadcasts on the tower frequency or Common Traffic Advisory Frequency…

pilots may need to dog-leg away from the runway on base or dog-leg toward the runway on base. Pilots may use S-turns, slips, early or late extension of flaps, reduce airspeed below best glide ... reach the desired aiming point at an appropriate speed, and to touch down where planned. Note that selection of the runway numbers as the touchdown point does not provide a safety cushion in case of a mechanical problem…

speed selected for each takeoff, based upon approved performance data and specified conditions, which represents: 1.) The maximum speed by which a rejected takeoff assures that a safe stop can be completed within the remaining runway or runway ... selected to reduce the RTO stopping distance required. The main purpose for using a reduced V1 is to properly adjust the RTO stopping distance in light of the degraded stopping capability associated with wet or contaminated runways, while adding…
