1st segment starts at screen height and finishes at gear retracted.

2nd segment starts when the gear is retracted and finishes when acceleration alt is reached (min. 400ft max 1000ft) speed V2.

3rd segment starts at acceleration alt, minimum 400ft, and finishes when the flaps are retracted.

4th segment starts when the flaps are retracted, MCT is set and finishes at the 1500ft.

TORA= Takeoff Run Available, the length of runway declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane taking off.

TODA= Takeoff Distance Available, the length of the take off run available (TORA) plus the length of the clearway, if available.

ASDA= Accelerated Stop Distance Available, the length of the takeoff run plus the length of the stopway, if available.

A clearway is an area beyond the paved runway, free of obstructions and under the control of the airport authorities. The length of the clearway may be included in the length of the takeoff distance available (Take Off Distance Available (TODA)). For example, if a paved runway is 2000 m long and there are 400 m of clearway beyond the end of the runway, the takeoff distance available is 2400 m long.

The stopway is an area beyond the runway which can be used for deceleration in the event of a rejected takeoff.

Screen height: TODR is the distance from the brake release point to the point where the aircraft gains a height of 35 ft above the ground. This 35 ft is what we call the screen height. While 35 ft is the screen height for class A airplanes, it is 50 ft for class B airplanes.

On a wet runway, the screen height is reduced to 15 ft.

Nose up

Depends on the engine.

In the case of the 737-800 CFM56, 27,300lbs total thrust at a ratio of 5.5:1

Decreasing speed, by reducing engine power or pitching up.

Occurs at absolute ceiling where low speed buffet and high speed (Mach) buffet are coincident.

When reaching the coffin corner, both increasing and decreasing the corner speed will result in a loss of control (either the aircraft stalls, or mach buffeting starts).

1. Unload. Make sure you are no longer 'pulling G's'

2. Roll wings level

3. Power Reduce the power to avoid overspeeding.

4. gently pull back on the control wheel to ease out of the dive.

When slowed down to a safe airspeed apply throttle as needed.

(N.b.: Do not confuse a spiral dive with a spin)

Anhedral:

compensates for the wing sweep improves roll maneuverability

1kg = 2.2lbs

Mcrit is the aircraft’s Mach speed at which the airflow over a wing becomes sonic.
