Question

Overun,

I personally am fly a jet at this stage, but our company also operates Jetstream 41. I also recently moved off turbo-props(HS748). Performance has always been a field of interest, so I am not talking of any field in particular.

Authorities here also just use the diff in elevation method, but I think it is inaccurate. What is equivalent slope. I would have thought that a slope that starts off uphill and ends up downhill will have a different effect to one that starts off downhill and end up going uphill.

Also does one factor the slope into the stopway?

Thanks for any help.
