Landing performance

Performance Engineer Briefing


Presented by HOU Runtian / Flight Operations Support Director

Introduction
For Landing Performance, the regulation requires a check of:
Maximum Certified Weight Landing distance Go Around Climb Gradients

These checks are required


At Dispatch for destination Airport and destination alternate airport During the flight in case of diversion

Introduction
Certification standards and
Operational rules mainly address Dispatch

Landing distance assessment in


flight not yet covered by regulations

Outputs from Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment


Aviation Rulemaking Committee (TALPA ARC) are retained by Airbus for Landing distances computation in Flight

Introduction Before 2012 Changes:


Certified landing distance was ALD Used as a reference for Dispatch Used as a reference for In-Flight Assessment

Actual Landing Distances


ALD:

Simplified model: At Dispatch, Landing performance assessment is based on


forecasts and not on real values as for Takeoff performance Runway in use (QFU) for Landing is not always known at dispatch time No effect of Temperature No effect of Runway slope Very short distance due to minimum airborne distance. On DRY Runway, Flight tests are based on: Minimal Flare Touchdown vertical speed 8 ft/sec Glide angle up to 3.5 That gives a time between threshold and touch down below 4s

Actual Landing Distances


The ALD determined in this manner on dry runway does not
include any margin and provides optimistic results.

2012
Airbus decided to simplify, clarify and secure Landing
Performance calculation ALD not used and not published in Operational documentation anymore (only available in PEP Airplane Flight Manual)

Introduction

2012

RLD is the reference for Dispatch. In-Flight Landing Distance is the new reference for
