When calculating the LDR on a dry runway, what factor should be used to determine if the LDA will be adequate? Is this factored into OPT calculations?
67% Increase in LDR. Yes, but only for departure calculations. Enroute landing calculations require a 15% addition to LDR.
When calculating the LDR on a wet runway, what factor should be used to determine if the LDA will be adequate? Is this factored into OPT calculations?
92% increase in LDR. Yes, however 15% should be added to LDR when using ENROUTE landing function.
When using the OPT, Landing En-route function, what factor must the LDR be increased by to satisfy regulatory requirements ? Is this factored into the OPT calculations? Is there a different requirement for non normal operations?
15% increase in LDR. No this must be manually added on. Non normal operations does not require any additional factoring.
