5.1. TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE
Takeoff performance:
Takeoff performance is limited by weight/altitude/OAT limits (Ref. Figure 11-2.2
and Figure 11-2.3).

5.2. TAKEOFF DISTANCE REQUIRED
Description:
Flight planning must be based on the rejected and continued takeoff
distance charts (Ref. Figure 11-5.1, thru Figure 11-5.3.) and the respective charts
for Segment I and Segment II climb gradients and acceleration distance (Ref.
Figure 11-5.5 thru Figure 11-5.7)
Use of Chart:
The following example explains the correct use of the chart in
Example
:
Wanted: Takeoff distance required.
Known: Maximum takeoff gross weight from example in paragraph
11-2.2 = 6160 LB (2791KG).
Known: Outside air temperature = 28
°
C
Known: Pressure altitude = 2000 FT (610M)
Method: Enter top chart at 28
°
C, move right to the 2000 FT (610M) pressure
altitude line, now move down to the 6160 LB (2791KG) weight
point (interpolated) and now to the left to read approximately
750 FT (229M) takeoff distance.
NOTE
:
Rejected Takeoff Distance Required (Clear Airfield) for the above example is
approximately 680 FT (207M) (Ref. Figure 11
NOTE
:
Distance Required to Clear a 35 FT Obstacle for the above example is
approximately 370 FT (113M) (Ref. Figure 11
