1.2. Course Objectives

− The main objective of this course is to present the AIRBUS performance documentation:
• The LPC – NG performance tool,
• Flight Crew Operating Manual, FCOM
− By the end of this course, you will know:

• What kind of information you can get in the AIRBUS documentation,
• Where to find this information,
• How to use the information.
More particularly, you will know:

• How to determine the Max. TOW and the corresponding speeds,
• How to determine the "Flexible Temperature" (or assumed temperature),
• How to determine the landing distance and approach speed,
• How to determine the aircraft loading & balance
• How to perform In Flight calculation (Flight planning, level off altitude, holding…).

7.5. Paper Exercises
7.5.1. Landing Distance in Normal Configuration
Determine V APP and Actual Landing Distance
DATA
Aircraft CONF: FULL Conditions : Dry runway
status Gross weight: 62 t Landing elevation 1000 ft
CG ≥ 25% Wind calm
A/THR on
Step 1 - Determine V APP, refer to QRH FPE-IFL 1/4

Enter gross weight 62 t
Intrepolate VLS conf full: 132 kt
Apply 5 kt correction for A/THR
Read V APP = 132 + 5 = 137 kt
Step 2 – Determine Actual Landing Distance, refer to landing distance without autobrake CONF FULL QRH
FPE-IFL 3/4
Enter DRY runway condition and landing weight 62 t
Read actual landing distance: 840 m at sea level
Step 3 - Apply corrections

Landing elevation 1000 ft : 1.03
Speed increment (A/THR): 1.08
840 x 1.03 x 1.08 = 935 m
Check available runway length at destination: 3300 m
Answer
V APP = 137 kt
Landing distance = 935 m
JAA: ALD ≤ LDA
935 m ≤ 3300 m: Yes
FAA: ALD x 1.15 ≤ LDA
935 x 1.15 = 1076 m ≤ 3300 m: Yes

7.5.2. Landing Distance in Abnormal Configuration 1

DATA
Aircraft CONF: 3 Conditions : Dry runway
CG ≥ 25% Wind 12 kt
Ice accretion
REV 1 INOP at dispatch
A/THR on
ELEC DC BUS 2 FAULT
Step 1 - Refer to landing distance on dry runways following failures QRH 80.16
- Enter the failure: ELEC DC BUS 2 FAULT
- Choose the FLAP position for landing. See note (b) at the bottom of the page. For this exercise use CONF 3.
- Check reversers status. See note (c) at the bottom of the page. In this exercise, use DRY WITHOUT REV.
- Read the corresponding elements for FLAPS CONF 3: ΔV REF APPR speed increment, LDG DIST factor without
REV
Step 2 – Refer V APP calculation in the case of an abnormal/emergency configuration QRH 80.14
Read VLS conf full: 130 kt
Apply 6 kt ΔV REF correction (QRH 80.16)
Apply 5 kt correction for ice accretion
Apply 5 kt CONF3 correction
Note: the correction is for A/THR use OR ice accretion. i.e. apply it ONLY once when A/THR is used and there is ice
accretion.
Check that APPR correction + ΔV REF are lower than 20 kt.
Read V APP = 130 + 6 + 5 + 5 = 146 kt
Step 3 - Refer to landing distance without autobrake CONF FULL QRH FRE-IFL 3/4
Enter DRY runway condition and landing weight 60 t
Interpolate Actual Landing Distance: 820 m at sea level
Step 4 - Apply landing distance corrections

Landing elevation 1000 ft = 3%: 1.03 (QRH FRE-IFL 3/4)

The mean aerodynamic chord (mac) is determined on the aircraft structure. It is defined according to its distance from
the aircraft reference axes and the chord length.
Mean aerodynamic chord

The CG position is expressed as a percentage of the mean aerodynamic chord.

It must remain between a forward and an aft certified limit depending on the aircraft weight.
Mean aerodynamic chord
The CG position affects the takeoff performance capability of the aircraft.

The CG position affects the stability and the maneuverability of the aircraft.

10.10.1. Principle
weight
You need less Thrust
When your Actual Takeoff Weight is lower than the Maximum Takeoff Weight, you can perform a Takeoff with less than the
max Takeoff thrust.
This thrust reduction improves engine life and reduces maintenance costs.

• the engine deterioration rate and associated
maintenance costs (economic aspect).
Flex Takeoff:
The pilot types the Flex. Temp. in the MCDU:
Setting thrust levers on FLX will provide the necessary thrust for Takeoff.

10.10.3. Derated Takeoff`
Short runway: TOGA is used & V1 min is high

V2
V1=VMCG VR
35ft
ACC STOP
This is due to excess of thrust
The present Takeoff weight is VMCG limited, because of a short ASD and a high V1 min.
We can observe a large excess of thrust after lift off.
This excess of performance (thrust) is penalizing on ground and not necessary after lift off.
V1=VMCG VR
35ft
ACC STOP
If, for the same TO weight, the maximum TO thrust is reduced or derated by a given percentage of X%, the
associated VMCG is decreased.
Consequently:
– V1 may be reduced,
– ACC/STOP distance is decreased accordingly,
– climb out performance may still be met.
Thus derated Takeoff may allow to increase TO

The Derated TO thrust is therefore to be considered as the maximum TO thrust rating available for a given Takeoff.
It determines the new VMCG and the new VMCA applicable during that Takeoff.
The use of Derated Takeoff thrust:

• increases payloads when operating on:
- short runways,
- contaminated runways.
• also saves engine life.
Each derate level is certified and is associated to a new set of performance data

Principle
Advantages of derated Takeoff :
• significant reduction of engine stress (like Flex TO),

11.1. Definitions
11.1.1. Landing Distance Available
LDA = Landing Distance Available

LDA ≤ TORA
Note: Stopway is not used for landing calculations
LDA
LDA
Displaced
Threshold

11.1.2. Actual landing distance
Braking means :
- Brakes
- Spoilers
- Antiskid
- Reversers (except on dry runway)
50 ft GS = 0 kt
ALD
The Actual Landing Distance (ALD) is the

distance required to land and bring the aircraft to a
complete stop from a height of 50 ft above the
runway

VAPP = 1.23 Vs1g
50 ft GS = 0 kt
ALD
Maximum braking is
assumed from the
Actual Landing Distances are touchdown
demonstrated during flight tests
Actual Landing Distance: factors of influence
Landing distance calculation is made for :
- ISA temperature - landing weight (LW)

- slope = 0% - wind
- standard QNH - airport elevation

11.1.3. Required Landing Distance
50 ft GS = 0 kt
ALD
Dry Runway (No reversers):
ALDDRY
RLDDRY =
0.6
50 ft GS = 0 kt
ALD
Wet Runway (No reversers):
RLDWET = 1.15 x RLDDRY

50 ft GS = 0 kt
ALD
Contaminated Runway (With or without reversers):

RLDCONTA = Greatest of (1.15 x ALDCONTA or RLDWET) JAR-OPS only

11.2. Dispach Requirements

11.2.1. Required Landing Distance
In all cases, and for both regulations ( JAR and FAR ),

the requirement is:
RLD ≤ LDA
On Dry Runways: RLD dry = ALD / 0.6 ≤ LDA
On Wet Runways: RLD wet = 1.15 RLD dry ≤ LDA
On Contaminated Runways (JAR-OPS operators only):
ALD contaminated x 1.15
RLD contaminated = the greatest of ≤ LDA

RLD
For contaminated runways, the manufacturer must provide landing performance data and
detailed instructions about the use of antiskid, reverse, airbrake or spoilers.

11.3. In Flight Requirements

11.3.1. Actual Landing Distance
JAR ALD x coefficient (system failure) ≤ LDA

The safety margin remains at the Captain’s discretion.
FAR ALD x coefficient (system failure) x 1.15 ≤ LDA

The 1.15 factor is not requested in case of emergency
(to be evaluated by the flight crew).
ALD must account for:

- Pressure altitude
- Wind
- Surface condition (dry, wet or contaminated)
- Approach speed
- Landing weight & configuration
- Planned use of airplane ground deceleration devices (brakes, spoilers, antiskid, reversers)
