CAA recommended takeoff factors for PPL exam??
Hi
I'm about to take my exam for Flight Planning and Performance (only 2 exams left now!). I just wanted to clarify with you guys takeoff factors. Am I right in thinking that the CAA recommend "no more than 50% (factor 0.5) of a headwind component" and "not less than 150% (factor 1.5) of a tailwind component" when calculating takeoff performance? And are those factors (0.5 and 1.5) actually correct?
Also am I likely to have to add these to the factors taken from the standard CAA performance table including the safety factor of 33% (1.33) for the exam? It all seems a bit ambiguous as to the rules for having to add these or not?
I hope that makes sense!
Thanks for any info!
