Utilize Runway Analysis Data For Safe Departures And Landings On Obstacle-Filled Runways

By Dora Reed


Extreme altitude, weather, and various obstacles will require alternative planning for a runway that otherwise has no issues with departures. Runway analysis can be utilized to examine how an aircraft's performance interacts with the runways situation. The AFM performance and obstacle database portions of this examination will help determine the limiting weight for a safe takeoff.

Web-based analysis has been introduced by flight services all over the world for these exact reasons. The reports provide vital performance, runway, and airport information that all airport operations require for safe takeoff and landings. Operators of commercial, military, and corporate airlines can utilize this examination and reduce their operational costs in the process. The report is released in a digital format and analyzes all airports.

Operators use this analysis service to assess the specific runways and aircraft performance calculations. All the data from different airports, runways, and other common obstacles goes into creating this analysis. Specific aircraft performance data are accumulated to be analyzed as well. This data helps operators calculate the various engine-out procedures, and aids in problematic situations that may occur like engine loss.

Flight services has been using this service to provide airline operators data about runways, airport, and aircraft performance situations. The system is web-based, and can quickly send critical data to any operator in need. In addition to this capability, the service also helps development of certain airline procedures. This includes information on all takeoff and landing performances.

Since this analysis is web-based, it allows for calculations of specific aircrafts or runways at any point in time. It also lets airlines know of the specific temperatures, runway conditions, and also the wind speeds of anywhere in the world. Operators can calculate the varying conditions they need simultaneously if they'd like.

Runways operators will be given detailed information of the runway obstacles through this service, as well as the departure procedures required. Pilots will then be able to use this information in the case of engine loss to climb to the safest altitude. Operators can also use this service to determine what the maximum weight of the aircraft must be for departure.

Aircrafts can access this service with the use of a performance tool on board, or an electronic flight bag system, also known as EFB. This airport data accommodates many different aircraft systems such as Teledyne, PACE, and the standard XML format. All data in this service is updated monthly with the AIRAC revision cycle.

Aircraft performance must adhere to the Standard Computerized Airplane Performance (SCAP) industry standards. The analysis system allows for departure and arrival performance examination, as well as the engine-out departure procedures. The information includes more than three thousand worldwide airports, and three hundred aircraft and engine combinations.

Analysis systems will require some improvements in the future if they want to be even more capable. They must be integrated for flight planning, balance systems, and weight. Currently, customers operating military aircraft can't use this runway systems unless they have a specific export license. If you are not sure of the information and would like to hear more, contact the service providers.
