Examination of Takeoff and Landing PA-28-180 airplane at a weight of 2400 pounds
For your independent project, create an instructional presentation. This assignment utilizes two independent examples – For the takeoff performance portion, you will utilize a generic example, while the landing portion is conducted specifically for your selected project aircraft.
Takeoff (completed using a generic example)
Utilizing Figure 10.1 (Dole et al., 2017, p. 162) explain on a selected example (not necessarily your selected project aircraft) how takeoff performance data in tabular and graphical form (as can be found in the flight manual/POH) can be used to determine the specific parameter:
Takeoff speed for a selected takeoff weight
Length of the takeoff roll
Distance required to clear a 50 ft obstacle
Using the same example, explain (backed by specific example data) how environmental conditions influence the takeoff distance.
Landing (completed using your specific project aircraft)
Approach speed for a selected landing weight
Drag during landing
Total drag at touchdown (stall speed)
Average drag during landing roll (based on total drag at stall speed – Resources and Inputs)
Residual thrust
Residual power based on the rated power of the aircraft
Thrust at touchdown
Average thrust during the landing roll
Average deceleration during the landing roll
Length of the landing roll
Once you completed your specific landing case for your aircraft, discuss and support numerically (where appropriate) the following aspects:
Influence of altitude on landings
Influence on landing speeds
Influence on landing distances
Difference between landing roll length (as calculated above) and landing distance (as published in a POH)
Influence of landing conditions such as runway material and surface condition, runway slope, wind conditions
Influence of weight on landings
Influence on landing speeds
Influence on landing distances
Critical evaluation of any factors that were not considered in your example
