Takeoff
Takeoff Distance is the distanced required to accelerate from zero airspeed up to, or above, stall speed. The four forces are not in balance during takeoff. (fig. 5-21 p. 139) Acceleration equals force divided by mass Net force is in the direction of acceleration The net force is equal to thrust minus drag & frictional force.
Takeoff Thrust
Thrust is greatest when air density is highest Although higher density increased drag, the increase in thrust is greater; the stall speed decreases High density, which results from high pressure & low temperature , works favorably for takeoff
Balanced Field
V2 is the distance required to stop is exactly the same as that required to reach takeoff speed Balanced field length is the overall runway distance up to the point of stopping Figure 5-22 p. 143
Landing
Landing in two parts- landing distance & roll distance from touchdown to stop Touchdown at 15% above stall is appropriate for modern aircraft. Deceleration is negative acceleration Most effective braking only reduced roll 10% than with no braking
Landing Conditions
Runway surface L/D ratio Wind Runway slope Altitude (pressure & temperature) Weight
L/D Ratio
Maximum L/D ratio gives the maximum performance in the following:
Endurance Power-off Glide Ratio Angle of Climb

Maneuvering
Load factors limits established by the FAA A load factor is the maneuver force in a particular direction divided by the weight of the aircraft The load factor is the lift divided by the weight in the vertical direction
V-n Diagram
V-n diagram is the aircraft operational envelope that ensures design loads are not exceeded The diagram is simply a plot of velocity for various load factors Figure 5-27 p. 151
Accelerated Climb
Rate of climb-excess power divided by weight (Specific excess power) Specific denotes some quantity per unit Figure 5-28 p. 153 Figure 5-29 p. 154 Figure 5-30 p. 155
