Tech Flashcards
What is V1?
The Maximum speed during the takeoff at which the pilot must take the first action to stop the aircraft within the accelerate-stop distance
Relationship between V1 and VMCG
V1 must be greater than VMCG
What is VMCG?
Minimum speed during the takeoff run at which, if the critical engine fails, it is possible to maintain directional control using only the rudder.
What is VMCA?
The minimum speed, while in the air, that directional control can be maintained with the critical engine inoperative, at takeoff power, with a 5° AOB towards the live engine.
Must be less than 1.2xVs
What is VR?
The speed at which the aircraft will be rotated off the runway. Must not be less than V1. Must allow the aircraft to achieve V2 by 35’ with one engine inoperative.
What is V2?
The Takeoff safety speed that must be achieved by 35’ above the runway surface. Essentially the best angle of climb speed for an aircraft with one engine inoperative and must be maintained until atleast 400’
Wet runway definition
More than 25 percent of the overall runway is covered by visible dampness or water that is 1/8 inch (3mm) or less in depth.

LAHSO Runway requirements
-A hold Short line on the landing runway prior to the intersecting runway/taxiway.
-Holding position signs on both sides of the runway adjacent to the runway hold lines.
-A sign with a white inscription on a red background adjacent to the hold position markers.
