5.2 Effects on Take-Off Distance
Take-off distances given apply for ISA conditions and a dry, hard
runway surface. Various circumstances have an effect on take-off
and landing performance. According to ICAO-circular 601AN/55/2, it
is recommended to use following add-ons for roll and air distances:
add-ons on take-off roll distance
for dry grass + 20%
for wet grass + 30%
for soft surface + 50%
per 2 knots tailwind component + 10%
per 10 knots headwind component - 10%
for high temperatures above standard + 10% per 10°C
for altitude above sea level (density altitude) + 5% per 1,000 ft
add-ons on take-off air distance
for dirty wings/raindrops + 15%
per 2 knots tailwind component + 10%
per 10 knots headwind component - 10%
for high temperatures above standard + 10% per 10°C
for altitude above sea level (density altitude) + 5% per 1,000 ft
All flight performance data are given for ISA standard atmosphere at
sea level and standard temperature. To determine temperature in
relation to ISA conditions please refer to the following chart.
NOTE
Especially in banner towing the take-off distances can
vary significantly with precise flying habits and the drag
of the banner.
