Aircraft Performance & Procedures
Runway Analysis
- What is Runway Analysis?
- Are all APG Engine-Out Procedures (EOPs) based on a minimum gross flight path target of 2.4%?
- While using APG iPreflight data, is it mandatory to use the V1 speeds listed in the app (TOLD card)?
- Is the All Engines Operating Speed (VAEO) always equal to V2 + 10 knots? Why don’t some aircraft have VAEO listed on the TOLD card?
- What data is used in a Runway Analysis?
- What limits are considered for takeoff?
- What limits are considered for landing?
- What regulations does APG follow for runway analysis?
- What do 14 CFR 135.379 and 135.385 require?
- What aircraft data does APG use for its runway analysis?
- How does runway analysis relate to 14 CFR Part 25?
- Does APG’s runway analysis only ensure 35 feet of obstacle clearance?
- What does “net” obstacle clearance mean?
- How much is the gross-to-net reduction?
- Why is the gross-to-net reduction important?
Landing Distances
SID Analyzer
- What is the difference between AEO and OEI climb data?
- How does the SID Analyzer handle different climb profiles?
- Does the APG SID Analyzer use AEO or OEI data to calculate climb performance?
- Can TERPS/PANS-OPS climb requirements be met using OEI data?
- How are close-in obstacles handled in climb performance analysis?
Missed Approach Climb Gradient
- If my aircraft is under the approach climb limit weight, am I cleared to fly the published missed approach procedure?
- Does the published missed approach procedure guarantee obstacle clearance with one-engine inoperative?
- What is the "Missed Approach Gradient"?
- Why is the Missed Approach Gradient provided?
- How are landing and approach climb limits handled?
- What are the regulatory climb gradient requirements?
- Does the missed approach climb gradient consider obstacles?
- Should I fly the Special Departure Procedure (EOP) instead during a missed approach?
- What’s the Engine-Out Procedure best practice for pilots?
Minimum Climb Gradient Tool
Gradient Loss in a Turn
Short Landing Operations (SLO)
Level Off Height
- What is the difference between gross and net flight paths in takeoff performance?
- How does APG determine the level-off height for obstacle clearance?
- How does APG handle obstacles in later takeoff segments?
- What’s the difference between pressure altitude and geometric height?
- What is the Level-Off (L/O) Altitude based on?
Approach Climb Speed (VAPP or VAC)
- What performance requirement must be met during a go-around?
- What happens at high altitude and temperature?
- Can high-density altitude conditions limit the landing weight?
- How do OEMs address high-density altitude limitation?
- VAPP and MA Grad
- What is VAPP or VAC?
- How is VAPP/VAC determined?
- Why not retract flaps fully during a go-around?
- Why is approach climb performance important during landing?
