clear a 50ft (35ft for commercial) obstacle
• Land on a conventional runway and decelerate after clearing a
50ft obstacle
• Flare is a deceleration maneuver to reduce airspeed and

Take-off and Landing
Take-off Field Length
• The take-off field length is generally split into three
sections:
– Take-off Distance: The ground distance required from
brakes release at the start of the runway, accelerating
from rest until the aircraft reaches a 'screen' height
above the runway.
– Take-off Run: The ground distance required from
brakes release at the start of the runway, accelerating
from rest until the aircraft reaches a point between
lift-off and a 'screen' height above the runway. This
point can vary between different airworthiness
requirements.

Take off Field Length
• Accelerate-Stop Distance: The ground distance
required from brakes release till the aircraft
reaches a decision speed and then the brakes
are applied until the aircraft comes to a
complete stop.

Take off Distance Components
• The take-off distance can be split into four
different phases:
– Ground acceleration
– Rotation phase
– Transition phase
– Initial climb out to screen
• Typically, the aircraft take-off manoeuvres
corresponding to the take-off distance phases
listed above can be split as seen in figure

Takeoff : Ground Run
• To calculate the ground roll, we need to write
the equations of motion for the vehicle as it
moves down the runway.
– See figure below

Faculty of Engineering & Technology
©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences
Takeoff : Ground Run
• The forces that act on it are the aerodynamic
forces of
– Lift and Drag (L and D), the thrust force (T),
– The ground normal force (R) and the ground
friction force (μR), where μ is the coefficient of
rolling friction.
• We can now write the equations of motion
along the runway and perpendicular to it.

• During takeoff, high lift devices like Flaps, Slats etc are deployed
and the landing gear is also exposed.

in such a configuration.

• In order to be able to integrate the above equations,
we need some functional relationships. We assume
that Thrust T depends on V as follows
𝑇 = 𝑇0 − π‘Žπ‘‰ 2
Where:
T0 = Thrust a zero airspeed (Static Thrust)
T = Thrust at airspeed V
a = constant that can be positive, negative or zero
• Substituting the above assumption into the
equations derived earlier and collecting terms of V 2

• As before we want to find the condition when

• This happens when we have
– Maximum value for A which depends on
Thrust/weight ratio and friction coefficient μ
– Minimum value for B, here we have control only

efficiency improves
– Because of interference between the horse-shoe

Landing Run
• The opposite of the takeoff procedure is the landing
procedure.
• Just as in the takeoff, the landing maneuver consists
of two parts:
– The terminal glide over a 50 ft obstacle to
touchdown
– The landing ground run
• Some calculations include a flare from the landing
glide to the touchdown.
• However, for a maximum performance landing (short
field landing procedure), very little flare is used.
27
Faculty of Engineering & Technology
©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences
Landing Run
• Here we will neglect the flare portion of landing and
assume the aircraft touches down at slightly higher
speed than it would after flaring.
• The equations of motion governing the landing
ground run are the same as those for takeoff.
• However, the constants A and B can be quite
different.
– Thrust can be zero or even negative (reverse
thrust)
– The runway rolling friction can be much larger due
to braking.
28
Faculty of Engineering & Technology
©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences
Landing Run
• The boundary conditions are different
– At the beginning of the ground roll the velocity is
that at touchdown, VTD
– At the end of the ground run, the velocity is V2,
usually zero
• Differential equation of motion for the landing
run is the same as that for takeoff:
– Results are different
For V 2 = 0, we have

Balance Field Length
• In order for a multi-engine commercial aircraft to
takeoff from a runway, the runway must at least be
as long as the Balanced Field Length (BFL).
• BFL is determined by considering two options
available to the pilot if an engine fails.
– continue the takeoff on the remaining engines to clear
the 50 ft (15m) obstacle and establish a takeoff
distance
– apply the brakes as soon as possible after the engine
failure and to bring the aircraft to a halt in some
distance.
– If the two distances are the same, that distance is
called the BFL

30
Balanced Field Length
1. Assuming a speed (and distance along the runway)
when that the engine failure occurs.
2. Continue the takeoff on the remaining engines and
compute the additional distance for the vehicle to
clear a 50 ft obstacle, determining the takeoff
distance
3. Starting with the speed assumed in (1), assume two
additional seconds go by and then
• the engines are shut down, brakes applied and
the ground roll to stop calculated.
31
Faculty of Engineering & Technology

Balanced Field Length
4. Compare the distance in (2) with that in (3).
•
•
•
•
If the distance to stop is shorter than the distance to fly
over the 50 ft obstacle, increase the guess in step (1).
If the distance to stop is shorter than that required to
clear the 50 ft obstacle, then decrease the failure
airspeed in step (1).
Continue this procedure until the total takeoff
distance and the total distance to stop are the
same.
This distance will be the balance field length, and
the associated velocity found is called the critical
engine failure speed

Flight Test – Basics
• All TO/L data recorded throughout entire flight test program
• Tests devoted to TO/L done at:
– Various gross weights
– Clean and several “dirty” configurations
– Standard to contaminated runway conditions
• Must rely on statistical average of as many tests as possible
– Greatly affected by factors that cannot be
measured and properly accounted for
• Typically delayed in flight test program b/c of amount of
support and time required

High-Speed Taxi Test
• Conducted prior to any TO/L tests due to:
– Always present possibility of a refused takeoff in
those tests
– Needed to determine parameters used in TO/L
tests
• Parameters:
– Thrust transients
– Drag
– Rolling Cf
– Ground Handling

Climbing Flight R/C
• For our idealized jet airplane, best rate of climb
does not occur at minimum power required
– Maximum rate of climb occurs at the velocity where
excess power is greatest
• The velocity for maximum rate of climb is
determined for any aircraft as follows :
– Plot power required and available versus true
airspeed
– Choose the velocity where the distance between
the two curves is greatest.

altitude
• Power required reduces as density drops
hence Drag reduces with altitude
• However, Power available drops faster,

• Is dictated when PA is just tangent to the PR curve
Service ceiling
• is defined as that altitude where R/Cmax = 100
ft/min, is the practical upper limit for steady, level

– depends on density drop
– tapers of to zero as it nears the service altitude
• R/C
is also affected by aircraft Weight and
Climb speed.
• Next slide shows the effect of weight on R/C
