What is factored and unfactored landing distance?
What is factored and unfactored landing distance? Unfactored landing distances assume precise control; factored landing distances reflect the effects of deviating from an ideal landing profile.
What is the safety margin for landing distance?
e. The operational landing distance (OLD) used for a time of arrival landing assessment includes a safety margin of at least 15 percent when based on manual wheel braking.
What are the factors affecting landing distance?
Factors Affecting Landing Distance Actual landing distance is affected by various operational factors, including: High airport elevation or high density altitude, resulting in increased groundspeed; Runway gradient (i.e., slope); Runway condition (dry, wet or contaminated by standing water, slush, snow or ice);
Which factor shortens landing distance?
An increase in rolling resistance serves to shorten our landing roll; a reduction to braking efficiency increases the distance required to bring our aircraft to a stop.
What is 1.67 landing distance?
For a predicted dry runway condition the AFM dry distance is factored (multiplied) by 1.67 to achieve the 60% Dry factored landing distance. This longer distance is compared to LDA.
What is the 500ft rule in aviation?
An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
