Landing Considerations
The maximum mass for landing is the lesser of:
• the landing climb limit mass (maximum mass to achieve landing climb requirements)
• the field length limit mass
• the structural limit mass
Landing Climb Requirements
LANDING CLIMB (All engines operating CS-25.119)
A gradient of not less than 3.2% with:
• All engines operating at the power available 8 seconds after initiation of movement of
the thrust control from the minimum flight idle to the take-off position
• Landing configuration
• Aerodrome altitude
• Ambient temperature expected at the time of landing
• A climb speed of VREF
VREF:
• not less than VMCL
• not less than 1.23VSR0
• provides the manoeuvring capability specified in CS-25.143 (h)
DISCONTINUED APPROACH CLIMB (One engine inoperative CS-25.121 (d)).
A climb gradient not less than:
• 2.1% for 2 engine aircraft

With:
• The critical engine inoperative and the remaining engines at go-around thrust
• Landing gear retracted
• Flaps in the approach configuration, provided that the approach flap VSR does not
exceed 110% of landing flap VSR
• Aerodrome altitude
• Ambient temperature
• Speed: Normal approach speed but not greater than 1.4VSR.
• Maximum landing weight
The more limiting of the landing climb and the approach gradient requirements will determine
the maximum mass for altitude and temperature at the landing aerodrome. Figure 18.1 shows
a typical presentation of this data.
DISCONTINUED APPROACH INSTRUMENT CLIMB (EU-OPS 1.510).
For instrument approaches with decision heights below 200 ft, an operator must verify that
the approach mass of the aeroplane, taking into account the take-off mass and the fuel
expected to be consumed in flight, allows a missed approach gradient of climb, with the
critical engine failed and with the speed and configuration used for go-around of at least
2.5%, or the published gradient, whichever is the greater.
Landing Distance Requirements (EU-OPS 1.515).
The landing distance required on a dry runway for destination and alternate aerodromes,
from 50 ft to a full stop must not exceed:
• 60% of the landing distance available for turbojet aeroplanes

• 70% of the landing distance available for turboprop aeroplanes
(Short landing and steep approach procedures may be approved based on lower screen
heights, but not less than 35 ft)
The landing distance required is based on:

• the aeroplane in the landing configuration
• the speed at 50 ft not less than 1.23VSR0 or VMCL
• aerodrome pressure altitude
• standard day temperature (ISA)
• factored winds (50% headwind, 150% tailwind)
• the runway slope if greater than ± 2%
VSR0 is the stall reference speed in the landing configuration.
VMCL, the minimum control speed during approach and landing with all engines operating,
is the calibrated airspeed at which, when the critical engine is suddenly made inoperative, it
is possible to maintain control of the aeroplane with that engine still inoperative, and
maintain straight flight with an angle of bank of not more than 5° towards the live engine(s).
Runway Selection / Despatch Rules
Landing must be considered both in still air and in the forecast wind.
a. Still air: The most favourable runway in still air may be selected.
b. Forecast wind: The runway most likely to be used in the forecast wind.
The lower of the two masses obtained from a. and b. above must be selected as the limiting
mass for the field lengths available.
Non-compliance
• If the still air requirement cannot be met at an aerodrome with a single runway, that is,
landing can only be made if there is an adequate wind component, the aircraft may be
despatched if 2 alternate aerodromes are designated at which full compliance is possible.
• If the forecast wind requirement cannot be met, the aeroplane may be despatched if an
alternate is designated at which all the landing requirements are met.
Wet Runways If the runway is forecast to be wet at the estimated time of arrival, the
landing distance available is at least 115% of the required landing distance. However, a
lesser factor may be used so long as it is published in the aeroplane flight manual and the
authority has approved such a factor.
Have a nice day!
