Takeoff thrust, with respect to turbine engines, - 14 CFR 1.1
Takeoff thrust, with respect to turbine engines, ...

 


Takeoff is optional.
Landing (sooner or later) is mandatory.
The most important part of taking off is making the decision to do so.

The takeoff and initial climb-out are one constant maneuver. But let's look at them in each of three steps: takeoff roll, liftoff and climb-out. First we want to align ourselves with the centerline of the runway in preparation for takeoff.

Landing and Takeoff Performance Monitoring Systems [1] [2][3] [4] are devices aimed at providing to the pilot information on the validity of the performance computation, ...

It allows you to determine how much runway you need for takeoff under certain conditions, if you can clear obstacles in the departure path, how long it will take you to reach a destination, ...

takeoff and climb
After taxying to the holding point of the runway in use, the aircraft is aligned to about 45° to the runway and towards the wind.

takeoff roll - The portion of takeoff during which the aircraft's landing gear is still in contact with the ground.
Tango - Designator for the letter "T" in the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Takeoff and Climb
When ready for takeoff, and cleared by Air Traffic Control to proceed, the pilot or first officer of an aircraft releases the brakes and advances the throttle to increase engine power to accelerate down the runway.

0-0 Takeoff: Taking off while under the hood.
1000, etc.: Numbers expressed in thousands usually refer to feet of altitude.
AIRMET: Announcement of weather conditions that will effect small aircraft.

TAKEOFF AREA-
(See LANDING AREA.)
TAKE-OFF DISTANCE AVAILABLE [ICAO]- The length of the take-off run available plus the length of the clearway, if provided.

Takeoff was a breeze. Once upstairs, with no flaps and 65 knots indicated, I saw climb rates of 1,000 fpm and more, though the spec is for 700 fpm with full load.

TAKEOFF POWER

Takeoffs normally are done with flaps retracted. To reduce takeoff distances for short- and soft-field departures, Piper recommends that the flaps be set at 25 degrees and the nose lifted at a lower airspeed.

Takeoff/Go-Around
TRACKING
1. Stabilized gun solution. 2. Continuous illumination of a target. 3. Contact heading.

For a fun takeoff, fly toward some part of the Ambassador Bridge as soon as you're airborne, and buzz the roadway traffic. An observer (if you have tower capability) is on the bridge, close to the center of the span.

Short-field Takeoff - A takeoff from any field less than 10,000 feet long.

Skin Drag - Costume party in San Francisco.

Landing and Takeoff (LTO) Cycle −The time that an aircraft is in operation at or near an airport. An LTO cycle begins when an aircraft starts its final approach (arrival) and ends after the aircraft has made its climb-out (departure).

Jet-assisted takeoff
jet stream
A quasihorizontal stream of winds of 50 knots or more concentrated within a narrow band. The term usually applies to such winds embedded in the westerlies in the high troposphere.

MTOW Maximum takeoff weight
The maximum certified total aircraft weight at takeoff brake release, as limited by aircraft strength and airworthiness requirements.
MZFW Maximum zero fuel weight ...

Consider delaying takeoff when a cell is closer than 20 miles to the departure airport.

Exceptional Flying Ability - Has equal number of takeoffs and landings. Fast - Describes the speed of any high-performance aircraft. Lower- performance and training aircraft are described as "half-fast.

A runway is the area of an airport where an aircraft can land or takeoff. Their length is determined by the size of the airport and the type of aircraft expected to land there. Runways are oriented to the direction of wind most blown in the area.

"Category A," with respect to transport category rotorcraft, means multiengine rotorcraft designed with engine and system isolation features specified in Part 29 and utilizing scheduled takeoff and landing operations under a critical engine failure ...

As the helicopter develops lift during takeoff and flight, the blades rise above the "straight out" position and assume a coned position. Amount of coning depends on RPM, gross weight, and G-Forces experienced during flight.

Water aircraft are also often used in remote areas such as the Alaskan and Canadian outback, especially in areas with a large number of lakes convenient for takeoff and landing.

Takeoffs and landings are routed over large bodies of water or industrial areas, for instance, if such areas are adjacent to an airport.

In the DNL procedure, the noise exposure from each aircraft takeoff or landing at ground level around an airport is calculated, and these noise exposures are accumulated for a typical 24-hour period.

AIRCRAFT OPERATION - An aircraft arrival (landing) or an aircraft departure (takeoff) represents one aircraft operation. A low approach, below traffic pattern or a touch and go operation is counted as both a landing and a takeoff, i.e.

Operations which include simultaneous takeoffs and landings and/or simultaneous landings when a landing aircraft is able and is instructed by the controller to hold short of the intersecting runway/taxiway or designated hold-short point.

Hold the elevator control in the "Full Climb" position as you apply power for takeoff. If the plane does not start rolling as you apply power, reduce power and then blip the throttle to start it rolling.

Airborne time is the time from takeoff to touchdown.
Engine running time is used for maintenance schedules.
Estimate elapsed time (EET) is the estimated time to complete a leg of a flight.

DEPARTURE STALL - A stall in the takeoff configuration with power.
DIHEDRAL - The acute angle, usually upward, between the wing of an airplane and a horizontal cross-section line. Opposite of ANHEDRAL.

DEPARTURE STALL - A stall in the takeoff configuration with power.
DEVIATION (MAGNETIC) - The error of a Magnetic Compass due to inherent magnetic influences in the structure and equipment of an aircraft.

Term used to describe aircraft that meet quieter Stage 3 noise requirements under FAR Part 36.

A nose-heavy aircraft will be more difficult to takeoff from the ground and to
gain altitude and will tend to drop its nose when the throttle is reduced. It also
requires higher speed in order to land safely.

CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) The radio frequency, also called the UNICOM frequency, used by all traffic at an airport without an operating control towerto coordinate approaches and landings, takeoffs and departures.

Flaps Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons. The flaps are lowered to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower takeoff and landing speed.

Flaps Parts of the wings that can be extended to help slow the plane for landing and increase lift at low speeds. Full flaps are typically used for landing, and partial flaps may also be used for takeoff.

As Garnerin failed to include an air vent at the top of his parachute, he oscillated wildly in his descent. However, he landed unhurt half a mile from the balloon's takeoff site.

In fact, as will be discussed later, this estimate may be as much as a factor of two too low. The amount of air pumped down for a Boeing 747 to create lift for its roughly 800,000 pounds takeoff weight is incredible indeed.

engine/propeller combination is installed or 40 hours when a non-certificate engine and/or propeller is installed. Gliders and ultralights built from kits listed on the FAA Listing of Eligible Kits require only 10 hours and a minimum of five takeoffs ...
