  condition is obtained at maximum lift/ drag ratio (L/DMAX), and it is important to note that for a given aircraft configuration, the L/DMAX occurs at a particular AOA and lift coefficient and is unaffected by weight or altitude. A variation ... cases, it is not always true as there are different variables to every situation. Each aircraft configuration is different, and there is not a rule of thumb that encompasses all of them as to how to achieve the max range…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance

  When minimum landing distances are considered, braking friction forces predominate during the landing roll and, for the majority of aircraft configurations, braking friction is the main source of deceleration. The minimum landing distance varies in direct proportion to the gross ... effect of wind on landing distance is large and deserves proper consideration when predicting landing distance. Since the aircraft lands at a particular airspeed independent of the wind, the principal effect of wind on landing distance is the change…

  Continuing the scenario above, the pilot loads the instrument approach and decides to remain on autopilot.
