ATPL TODA & LDA slope corrections
Hi all,
My ATPL performance and loading notes state that for LDA when using forecast conditions, "it is assumed that the aircraft will land on the most favorable RWY (longest one) and direction available (up slope) and that no headwind component will be available for landing". As such, when using forecast conditions, it states that no LDA reduction for down slope is required.
It references CAO 20.7.1(B) Section 4.1 (d), but I have trolled my way through the whole CAO and can't find anything suggesting such an assumption.
If anyone could confirm what is expected for the exam and, ideally, point me to the CAO reference, it would be appreciated.
There is also no mention in the notes regarding what to do with TODA if forecast conditions are given (ie can headwind component be used as part of your calculations)
Thanks in advance
