  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Runway Surface and Gradient

  Runway Surface and Gradient Runway conditions affect takeoff and landing performance. Typically, performance chart information assumes paved, level, smooth, and dry runway surfaces. Since no two runways are alike, the runway surface differs from one runway to another, as does ... runway gradient or slope. [Figure 11-15] Runway surfaces vary widely from one airport to another. The runway surface encountered may be concrete, asphalt, gravel, dirt, or grass. The runway surface for a specific airport is noted in the Chart…

  follows: a.) V1—the 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 ... runway and stopway; 2.) The minimum speed which assures that a takeoff can be safely completed within the remaining runway, or runway and clearway, after failure of the most critical engine at the designated speed; and 3.) The single speed…

  usable at 70 percent of liftoff airspeed. b. This “rule of thumb” is based on a uniform surface condition. Puddles, soft spots, areas of tall and/or wet grass, loose gravel, etc., may impede acceleration or even cause deceleration. Even ... airplane achieves 70 percent of liftoff airspeed by the midpoint, the condition of the remainder of the runway may not allow further acceleration. The entire length of the runway should be inspected prior to takeoff to ensure a usable surface…
