  • I should have specified: we cannot PLAN to use the paved safety area. But pilots are not perfect and braking action sometimes deteriorates lower than what is advertised. So it is good to know is there if we need it. In KJAC's case, it seems there is…

  • @FraPre said: I wait in the stand with the brakes applied until the full starting power is at hand, it always needs something, if you then roll naturally, valuable meters are lost. The brakes of the Dash do not hold them completely when you set t…

  • @FraPre said: I did not notice the 5 Kts, had set the weather manually and actually set 0 Kts wind. May I ask how you practice the takeoff, as a rolling or static takeoff? And the start abort, with max reverse and full braking action? With …

  • Guys, I think we are making things more complicated than they need to be here. If the chart says an area of pavement isn't usable, it isn't usable. Doesn't matter if it 'looks usable.' Also, you shouldn't be introducing slope into this. P3D/FSX does…

  • Thanks for your research. Obviously we are all going to get something a little different using those spaghetti charts but I think we can agree that 53,500 for a MTOW under those conditions is grossly off from what the charts say. I haven't measured …

  • > @botamern said: > Remember also that your calculated takeoff data will include the use of an safety area beyond the runway for accelerate/stop distance calculations. Runway 19 has a safety area beyond the departure end 950ft long and 200ft…

  • Hey guys, Thanks for taking the time to respond, and going through the trouble of attempting to reenact my scenario. The other day, I was taking off around 60,000 lbs, so no where near MTOW, but at flaps 5 and a temp of around ISA + 15. I have co…
