Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) is a method used by airport operators to determine runway conditions for takeoff and landing. It produces a Field Condition report that allows pilots to assess braking action when the runway is not dry.

GeoFS (previously known as GEFS-online) is a French multi-platform browser-based flight simulator based on the Cesium WebGL Virtual Globe. [2] The free map is based on images taken by the Sentinel-2 and NAIP satellite, while an enhanced version, also known as HD, gives you a 1 day free trial, and after the trial, it costs $9.99 per year.
At take-off, the fan displaces up to 1.3 t (2,900 lb) of air per second, the jet nozzle velocity is almost 1,000 mph (450 m/s) and each high pressure turbine blade generates around 800 hp (600 kW), rotating at 12,500 rpm with their tips reaching 1,200 mph (540 m/s). [6] Rolls-Royce reports the engine is 10 dB quieter than the Trent 700. [11]
In discussions of the takeoff performance of military aircraft, the term V ref stands for refusal speed. Refusal speed is the maximum speed during takeoff from which the air vehicle can stop within the available remaining runway length for a specified altitude, weight, and configuration. [ 19 ]
A Takeoff Acceleration Monitoring System automates the pilot monitoring of Distance to Go (DTG), "to sense, in a timely fashion the development of insufficient acceleration, which would extend the takeoff roll, perhaps precipitously". [1] Over the years, recommendations have been made to develop a Take Off Performance Management System.
A330-200 planform view, showing its 10.06 wing aspect ratio and 30° wing sweep Eight-abreast, 2–4–2 economy class The fly-by-wire A330/A340 retains the A320's six-screen glass cockpit. The A330 is a medium-size, wide-body aircraft, with two engines suspended on pylons under the wings.
An A330-200 from Qantas behind a Boeing 787-8 from Jetstar while on takeoff roll. Third party analysis for a 3,350 nmi (6,200 km; 3,860 mi) transatlantic flight shows that the 787-9 has a slight advantage over the A330-900 in cash cost per available seat miles , while the Airbus outperforms the Boeing once capital costs are included, based on ...
