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

By Dora Reed


An aircraft that comes across certain situations such as weather problems, extreme altitudes, or other obstacles; will probably need a different plan. These aircrafts may need runway analysis to consider the situation and compare the aircraft's competencies to the runways status. In this procedure, the AFM performance and obstacle databases can alert the aircraft of the required limiting weight it requires.

The analysis is web-based for easy access, and has been implemented by flight services all over the world. The reports contain aircraft performance, runways, and important airport information to ensure safe takeoff and landing of all aircrafts. Commercial, military, and corporate operators are all aided with this analysis service. It reduces operational costs and helps access valuable flight information for worldwide 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.

This service can calculate any specific aircraft performance through its web-based technology. It will produce information on the wind and temperature calculations and runway conditions of any place in the world. Operators can use this information to assess situations, and also calculate the conditions of many different areas at the same time.

A detailed report of any obstacles on the runways will also be included, and provides departure procedures for any aircrafts involved. The pilots can use this information to climb to a specific altitude in case of engine loss. The calculations also allow operators to be informed of the specific maximum weight required for takeoff in any departure.

Aircrafts use their on board performance tools or electronic flight bag systems, known as EFBs, in order to access the data provided by this service. PACE, Teledyne, and standard XML formats on aircrafts can access all the information. The system updates monthly, or every 28 days, and is based on the AIRAC revision cycle.

The Standard Computerized Airplane Performance (SCAP) industry standards are required for all aircraft performance information. As mentioned, departure and landing performance data of all aircrafts are provided with this analysis service as well. Specific engine-out departure procedures of three thousand airports all around the world are provided, as well as three hundred specific aircraft and engine data.

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.
