5.9 - Takeoff Distances
The following tables provide the takeoff distances for several weight
configurations, with inertial separator ON and OFF.
General notes and correction factors:
The following information applies to all the tables in this subsection.
Associated conditions:
-
Landing gear DN and flaps TO,
-
Short takeoff procedure,
-
Hard, dry and level runway.
In table headings:
-
TRQ = Torque at brake release,
-
GR = Ground roll (in feet),
-
D
50
= Takeoff distance over a 50-foot (15-meter) obstacle (in feet).
Corrections:
-
In case of wind, apply the following corrections:
.
Reduce total distances by 10% every 10 kt of headwind,
.
Increase total distances by 30% every 10 kt of tail wind.
-
Other runway surfaces:
Takeoff distances given in the tables are for takeoff from hard, dry and level
runway. Other runway surfaces require the following correction factors.
Increase distances by:
.
7% on hard grass,
.
10% on short grass,
.
15% on wet runway,
.
25% on high grass,
.
30% on slippery runway.
