Takeoff Weight The following examples illustrate
the use of graphs which may restrict takeoff weight.
NOTE
Do not exceed the maximum takeoff
weight limitation of 16,500 pounds.
(1)
Maximum takeoff weight as limited by tire
speed. Enter the graphs at 15C, 3499 ft, 10 knots
headwind component, and read:
Flaps Up......... Exceeds Structural Limit of 16,500 lbs
Flaps Approach.... Exceeds Structural Limit of 16,500
lbs
(2)
Maximum
takeoff
weight
to
achieve
positive one-engine-inoperative climb at liftoff. Enter the
graphs at 3499 feet pressure altitude, 15C, and read:
Flaps Up................................................ 16,500 lbs
Flaps Approach ...................................... 16,500 lbs
(3)
Maximum enroute weight for 50-ft/minute
one-engine-inoperative
climb.
To
determine
the
maximum takeoff weight, the weight of the fuel used to
reach the MEA is added to the maximum enroute weight
obtained from the Service Ceiling - One Engine
Inoperative graph (fig. 7-38). Use the Time, Fuel, and
Distance to Cruise Climb graph (fig. 7-39) to determine
the weight of the fuel used to climb. Use the Cruise
Power tables to determine the weight of the fuel used to
cruise to each MEA.
Enter
the
Service
Ceiling
-
One
Engine
Inoperative graph (fig. 7-38) at the conditions for each
enroute MEA. For example, enter the graph at the
highest MEA altitude of 9000 feet, and trace right; enter
again at the MEA FAT of -4C, and trace up. Read the
maximum enroute weight at the MEA at the intersection
of the tracings.
Maximum enroute weight for 50-ft/min one-
engine-inoperative climb:
8000 ft, 0°C.... Exceeds Structural Limit of 16,500 lbs
9000 ft, -4°C... Exceeds Structural Limit of 16,500 lbs
7600 ft, 0°C.... Exceeds Structural Limit of 16,500 lbs
Since these weights are all greater than the
maximum takeoff weight limitation of 16,500 Ibs, there is
no
additional
limitation
to
meet
enroute
weight
requirements. Anytime the value is less than 16,500 lbs,
add the fuel required to climb, plus any fuel used in
cruise before reaching each MEA, to determine the
maximum
allowable
takeoff
weight
to
meet
the
requirement for each route segment of the trip.
f.
Minimum Static Takeoff Power (Ice Vanes
Retracted). Enter the graph at 15°C FAT and 3499 feet
pressure altitude:
Minimum Static Takeoff Power....................... 93.5%
g.
Takeoff Speeds. Tables are provided for takeoff
decision speed (VI), rotation speed (VR), takeoff safety
speed (V2), and all-engines takeoff safety speed (VWs)
In order to determine the takeoff speeds for 15°C FAT,
3499 feet pressure altitude, and 16,000 pounds takeoff
weight, enter the tables at 2000 ft and 4000 ft pressure
altitude, 100C and 20°C FAT, and 16,000 pounds takeoff
weight, then interpolate to find the actual values for the
specified conditions:
V1 ...... 116 KTS (flaps up), 108 KTS (flaps approach)
VR...... 124 KTS (flaps up), 113 KTS (flaps approach)
V2 ...... 128 KTS (flaps up), 114 KTS (flaps approach)
V50..... 140 KTS (flaps up), 126 KTS (flaps approach)
h.
Minimum Field Length. The following example
illustrates the use of graphs which may restrict takeoff
weight due to field length available under existing
conditions.
(1)
Takeoff distance. Enter the graphs at 15
C, 3499 feet pressure altitude, 16,000 pounds, 1.9%
downhill runway gradient, and 10 knots headwind
component, and obtain the following results:
Ground Roll (flaps up) ...................................3511 ft
Takeoff Distance (flaps up) ............................4864 ft
Ground Roll (flaps approach..........................2909 ft
Takeoff Distance (flaps approach)..................3886 ft
(2)
Accelerate-stop
distance.
Enter
the
graphs at 15C, 3499 feet pressure altitude, 16,000
pounds, 1.9% downhill runway gradient, and 10 knots
headwind component, and obtain the following results:
Accelerate-Stop Distance (flaps up) ...............5877 ft
Accelerate-Stop Distance (flaps approach).....4972 ft
(3) Accelerate-go distance. Enter the graphs at 15C,
3499 feet pressure altitude, 16,000 pounds, 1.9%
downhill runway gradient, and 10 knots headwind
component, and obtain the following results:
Accelerate-Go Distance (flaps up)..................7172 ft
Accelerate-Go Distance (flaps approach)........5069 ft
The minimum recommended runway length is
the longest of the distances determined above for the
selected flap
