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

    forces acting on the aircraft during the landing roll may require various procedures to maintain landing deceleration at the peak value. A distinction should be made between the procedures for minimum landing distance and an ordinary landing roll with considerable ... excess runway available. Minimum landing distance is obtained by creating a continuous peak deceleration of the aircraft; that is, extensive use of the brakes for maximum deceleration. On the other hand, an ordinary landing roll with considerable excess runway…

  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance

    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 to the takeoff speed to become airborne ... During landing, the aircraft touches down at the landing speed and decelerates to zero speed. The important factors of takeoff or landing performance are: • The takeoff or landing speed is generally a function of the stall speed or minimum…

  • Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Aircraft Hazards › Performance

    intake and supply. Figure 3-3. IMSAFE checklist. Aircraft Hazards “A” hazards can be classified in terms of both performance and equipage. Performance Aircraft performance hazards may include: • Fuel and Range–As previously described ... fuel issues continue to be a leading cause of general aviation accidents. Planning a flight to the aircraft’s maximum range magnifies this “A” hazard. Inaccurate calculations, changing conditions, or the aircraft’s failure to achieve “book” speeds and fuel…

  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance Charts

    Performance Charts Performance charts allow a pilot to predict the takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing performance of an aircraft. These charts, provided by the manufacturer, are included in the AFM/POH. Information the manufacturer provides on these charts ... piloting skills, and with the aircraft and engine in good working order. Engineers record the flight data and create performance charts based on the behavior of the aircraft during the test flights. By using these performance charts…

    flight. To use it, the pilot will: • Perceive the given set of circumstances for a flight • Process by evaluating their impact on flight safety • Perform by implementing the best course of action Use the Perceive, Process, Perform, and Evaluate method as a continuous model for every aeronautical decision that you make. Although human beings will inevitably make mistakes, anything that you can do to recognize and minimize potential threats to your safety will make…

  • 14 CFR § 135.76 DOD Commercial Air Carrier Evaluator's Credentials: Admission to pilots compartment: Forward observer's seat.

    Commercial Air Carrier Evaluator's Credentials: Admission to pilots compartment: Forward observer's seat. (a) Whenever, in performing the duties of conducting an evaluation, a DOD commercial air carrier evaluator presents S&A Form 110B, “DOD Commercial Air Carrier ... Evaluator's Credential,” to the pilot in command of an aircraft operated by the certificate holder, the evaluator must be given free and uninterrupted access to the pilot's compartment of that aircraft. However, this paragraph does not limit…
