12.104.4 Explain the difference between landing distance required (LDR) and landingdistance available (LDA). Weight and Balance
12.104.4. Explain the difference between landing distance required (LDR) and landingdistance available (LDA). Weight and Balance
This is the distance from a point 50 feet over the threshold at the correct approach speed with the flaps set to the correct position and power off – to the point where the aircraft reaches a full stop using maximum braking
12.104.2 Given typical performance data, demonstrate the ability to determine LDR.
12.104.2. Given typical performance data, demonstrate the ability to determine LDR.
Using the chart determine the landing distance required for the aircraft and conditions
Enter with the aerodrome elevation – no need to work out pressure altitude
Intercept the weight line
Pass through the surface block to the slope and wind component blocks to come up with a landing distance
12.102 Take-off Performance
12.102. Take-off Performance
12.102.4 Explain the difference between take-off distance required (TODR) and take-offdistance available (TODA).
12.102.4. Explain the difference between take-off distance required (TODR) and take-offdistance available (TODA).
TODR is the distance you require from the start of the take off run to reach lift-off speed and then climb to 50 feet above the runway surface
12.102.2 Given typical performance data, demonstrate the ability to determine TODR
12.102.2. Given typical performance data, demonstrate the ability to determine TODR
Calculate the pressure altitude
Enter the chart with the ambient temperature and move vertically downward to intercept the line representing the pressure altitude at the atltiude just calculated
Enter the next block horizontally and move across until the appropriate sloping line for the aircraft groos weight for takeoff is intercepted.
Move vertically up into the next block
Move vertically upward from the block below until the appropriate line representing the type of operation and the aerodrome surface is intercepted.
Move horizontally into the next block
With the 2 next blocks enter horizontally from the left and move in until the reference line is intercepted
From this point move up or down parallel with the sloping lines until the appropriate degree of up or downslope or head or tailwind is met
From here nmove horizontally to the right – read off TODR from the scale at the right

12.100.18 Describe the hazards of windshear in the initial climb-out path, and on theapproach path.
12.100.18. Describe the hazards of windshear in the initial climb-out path, and on theapproach path.
Climb out
With an increase in wind speed the aircraft experiences a steepening of the climb angle and a brief increase in rate of climb
Approach
If low level wind is calm or light and the wind higher up is stronger the angle of descent will steepen and rate of descent will increase
Both situations can result in premature contact with the ground
12.100.16(i) frost or other contaminants/damage of lifting surfaces.
12.100.16(i) . frost or other contaminants/damage of lifting surfaces.
Take off performance is strongly degraded by frost or other contaminants on the wing surface
