APG calculations
Hi folks
Is here anybody familiar with APG landing calculations ? On landing chart you will find calculations for each rwy in the following format LIMIT/CODE/MA Grad/LD Dist./1.67 LD/V ref/V app/VFTO LIMIT - weight limit CODE - limitations code for.ex ST - structural MA Grad - this one I can't understand - for.ex for EPWA there is 12.1 for RWY33 . I have no idea what kind of gradient it is . On APP chart for RWY33 there is no any requirements for MA climb gradient . Do you know what it is ? LD DIST - this is unfactored landing distance 1.67 LD - 1.67 landing distance - this is required for commercial operations ? Vref - reference speed Vapp - approach speed VFTO- ?? btw. if there is no any specific minima gradient on SID chart - what is the minimum gradient then ? Thank you |
I hope you are not a professional pilot Hmmm, where exactly did chr say he is one ? This kind of answer is pointless and condescending.... VFTO is the "final take off speed" - Vfto is the speed at which you climb (after reaching acceleration altitude) following an engine failure or single engine go around. The definition of the FAA to be found here: 1-g Stall Speed as the Basis for Compliance With Part 25 of the Federal is: Final takeoff speed means the speed of the airplane that exists at the end of the takeoff path in the en route configuration with one engine inoperative. it is determined: VFTO, in terms of calibrated airspeed, must be selected by the applicant to provide at least the gradient of climb required by §25.121(c), but may not be less than— (1) 1.18 VSR (Reference stall speed); and (2) A speed that provides the maneuvering capability specified in §25.143(h). (40° banked coordinated turn with asymmetric power at the WAT limit) 1.67 LD - 1.67 landing distance - this is required for commercial operations ? MA Grad - this one I can't understand - for.ex for EPWA there is 12.1 for RWY33 . I have no idea what kind of gradient it is . On APP chart for RWY33 there is no any requirements for MA climb gradient . Do you know what it is ? Have a look at FAA AC 120-91, Section 7, that explains a lot when it comes to SE performance. Gradients found on Jeppesen SID charts do mean NOTHING at all for the engine out case. APG will either follow the SID or if a better performance can be had give you a DP you follow in case of. Have a look also at flyapg.com, "resources", videos. |
MA grad is the actual gradient the aircraft will achieve one engine out on the missed approach up to1500 feet above the runway in the conditions you have put in to the calculation.

What terrain margins does APG use in it's take off performance, I see sometimes huge restrictions for cat C airports where initial departure is VFR like Samedan or La Mole
|
...same margins as all the others: 35ft without turns scheduled - 50ft if a turn is required. They don't make money on limiting your payload, but on (the barest minimum of) regulatory compliance.
Now, there are airports where there is a margin between them and Flugprestanda - and this is probably where it gets interesting :\ |
