Performance /de-rated take-off
De-rated take off and flex take off ,some airlines do them both,for derated take off ,how do aircraft/engine manufacturer have these set reduced power settings meet certain regulations? since it might gets complicated when it comes to Vmcg issue.
I'm always curious about the performance optimization in which airbus seems to have more experience.Anyone can give me some lecture? |
Well I gather the derate numbers are certified for runway and climb gradient requirements...burning up valuable runway to that they can trend monitor an engine out to 25000 hrs before overhaul...
Passenger safety being number one of course.... Around here it looks like the 737s fly it to fence (8000 ft runway) then pull up.. The consensus being that after V1 has passed, your committed, lumbering down the runway waiting for V2, that if you lose an engine rotating at the fence(you planned accel/stop into the overrun) you now have the luxury of bringing up the good engine to max to get over those mountains ahead........lovely.... |

With a fixed derate, you cannot use full thrust on the remaining engines if you lose one. With reduced thrust (assumed temperature), you can use full thrust. I don't know what Airbus uses for flex. |
numbers
Max thrust should not be used during engine out take offs for de-rate for Vmcg consideration ; .however the airlines now must provide additional take-off performance charts as well as proper training for crew,since it's common sense to firewall the throttle when you feel chanlleged by the remaining runway.
My question again was: how do aircraft/engine manufacturers get these (i.e 6% 10% )prercentage of power certified ,are they just arbitary?do they need to test each power settings?Where do there numbers come from ,which regulation? |
Basic rule is 25 percent max reduction flex for a given rating (although I understand AB has a 40 percent permission as they don't combine the two)
To get more, you need an artificially smaller engine by certifying a derate .. and then you can continue the reduction via flex. Around here it looks like the 737s fly it to fence (8000 ft runway) then pull up.. That sounds like a significantly unbalanced takeoff with V1 having long gone and use of clearway. The later rotation approaching the end can give the impression of not much runway. Keep in mind that, for an unbalanced takeoff, only half the air distance to screen need be over the runway bits. you now have the luxury of bringing up the good engine to max to get over those mountains ahead That should never be necessary although it is optional. However, if you choose so to do .. do it slowly. |
@JT
On out little E-Jets we've got an ATTCS system that will rapidly increase the thrust from a full 25% reduction to about 10% above Rated thrust. I've often wondered how that would look a kt or 2 above VMCG. |

The initial takeoff thrust or power setting on each engine at the beginning of the takeoff roll may not be less than any of the following: (a) Ninety (90) percent of the thrust or power set by the ATTCS (the maximum takeoff thrust or power approved for the airplane under existing ambient conditions); Our equivalent system works, IIRC, on a delta to the set thrust, not a delta to the Rated thrust. |

I think you need to brush up on your performance study/lessons. Less power used when not needed significently reduces the risk (however small) of engine failure and the problem of reaching Vr / V2 at the end of the take off run and Take off distance available.
|
I guess the consensus is that when you make a derate takeoff, there is less of a chance of engine failure then at max takeoff...
Interesting theory...given the whole point of derate take offs is to trend monitor the engines out as far as you can to save money on overhaul cost.. So let's do the math...you run a corporate jet to 3500 hours, and do max take offs every flight if you want.. Or you do some max take offs, some derates and you get to enjoy doing them all the way out to 25000 hrs... Hmm....let's see...I am at the end of the runway with a couple of 25000 hrs engines that the company mechanic said was OK...and I now need to get over those hills...or I am in a plane that has 3000 hour engines.... How come I feel safer with the 3000 hour engines...is it just me or am I missing something? |
...is it just me or am I missing something? Yes derate saves money, because it saves the engines. I am in a plane that has 3000 hour engines |
much easier on the engines = saves money
|
I wouldn't have any problem comparing safety records between biz jet ops and airlines..
If the consensus is that trend monitoring an engine out as far as you can safely do so is ok...then I think it should be ok for biz jet operators to do it as well...fair is fair. |
Sure.
Do you have the infrastructure, maintenece systems and large body of data to prove it provides equivelent saftey? If so, by all means put in the requests for variations of the regs. It should only cost several million dollars. That's what airlines and airline manufacturers have had to do. I wouldn't have any problem comparing safety records between biz jet ops and airlines.. This team found that the fatal accident rate for all business jet civil operations is more than eight times that for large Western jets in airline operation, and four times that for large Western-built turboprops flying commercial operations. |
You mean the special interests lobby's, the FAA in your back pocket...to bend and twist the regs to allow planning accel stop into overruns, put 200 hr ab initios into the right seat and have your own mechanics determine with a look see if an engine at 20,000 hours is good enough to go to 25000 hrs..
Nope you got me..corporate aviation doesn't have the where with all to pull that off... |
That sounds very familiar, wasn't the same guy around last year spouting the same nonsense?
|
You mean the special interests lobby's, the FAA in your back pocket No, those procedures are used world-wide, ratified by a huge number of regulaory agencies, many of whom require their own, entirerly idependent saftey case. So, Airline do all that, and are STILL EIGHT TIMES safer than Biz Jets? Do you have trouble getting life insurance? |
