Rejected takeoff and landing

Abstract

To improve the standards for determining the accelerate‐stop and landing performance of transport aircraft the FAA has published a proposed rule that makes three amendments which are detailed here. The first revises the method for taking into account the time needed for the pilot to accomplish the procedures for a rejected takeoff, another requires that takeoff performance be determined for wet runways, and the third requires that rejected takeoff and landing distances be based on worn brakes. These amendments are based on a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) issued early in the 1990s. These standards are not being applied retroactively either to aircraft currently in use or to aircraft of existing approved designs that will be manufactured in the future.
