Sec. 25.109 Accelerate-stop distance.
Federal Register Notes
63 FR 8298, No. 32, Feb. 18, 1998
SUMMARY: This action amends the airworthiness standards for transport
category airplanes to: revise the method for taking into account the time
needed for the pilot to accomplish the procedures for a rejected takeoff;
require that takeoff performance be determined for wet runways; and require
that rejected takeoff and landing stopping distances be based on worn brakes.
The FAA is taking this action to improve the airworthiness standards, reduce
the impact of the standards on the competitiveness of new versus derivative
airplanes without adversely affecting safety, and harmonize with revised
standards of the European Joint Aviation Requirements-25 (JAR-25). These
standards, which affect manufacturers and operators of transport category
airplanes, are not being applied retroactively to either airplanes currently
in use or airplanes of existing approved designs that will be manufactured in
the future.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 1998.
Give them another 10 years and they might wake up to the reality of contaminated runway operations!
