  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Engineered Materials Arresting Systems (EMAS) › Pilot Considerations

    Following the guidance below ensures that the aircraft engages the EMAS according to the design entry parameters. During the takeoff or landing phase, if a pilot determines that the aircraft will exit the runway end and enter the EMAS ... should be adhered to: 1. Continue deceleration - Regardless of aircraft speed upon exiting the runway, continue to follow Rejected/ Aborted Takeoff procedures, or if landing, Maximum Braking procedures outlined in the Flight Manual. Figure 14-57. There have been several…

    Figure 11-19 illustrates the general effect of wind by the percent change in takeoff or landing distance as a function of the ratio of wind velocity to takeoff or landing speed. The effect of proper takeoff speed is especially ... important when runway lengths and takeoff distances are critical. The takeoff speeds specified in the AFM/POH are generally the minimum safe speeds at which the aircraft can become airborne. Any attempt to take off below the recommended speed means that…

  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance

    Takeoff and Landing Performance The majority of pilot-caused aircraft accidents occur during the takeoff and landing phase of flight. Because of this fact, the pilot must be familiar with all the variables that influence the takeoff and landing performance ... aircraft and must strive for exacting, professional procedures of operation during these phases of flight. Takeoff and landing performance is a condition of accelerated and decelerated motion. For instance, during takeoff an aircraft starts at zero speed and accelerates…

  • Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › Rejected Takeoff

    appropriate call-out, and the pilot flying should smoothly rotate the airplane to the appropriate takeoff pitch attitude. Rejected Takeoff Every takeoff could potentially result in a rejected takeoff (RTO) for a variety of reasons: engine failure, fire or smoke ... authority, or recognition of a significant abnormality (split-airspeed indications, activation of a warning horn, etc.). Ill-advised rejected takeoff decisions by flight crews and improper pilot technique during the execution of a rejected takeoff contribute to a majority…
