mustafagander,

Everything you said was quite correct except 1 small point - I don't agree that stopway is clearway.

In rare cases it is possible that the stopway can exceed the clearway, as the stopway is limited by the first non-frangible obstacle exceeding 0.9m in height above the c/w surface.

I don't wish to dispute what you said, as you look like you know what you are talking about, but I thought I would bring the point up as I have been wondering about it.

Anyway, a good book is "Aircraft Performance Theory for Pilots" by PJ Swatton ISBN 0-632-05569-3
