INTRODUCTION
In response to the questions of acceleration-stop distance and the definition and diagram of the tracks of takeoff, inflight and approach, the following information is submitted. The questions cannot be simply answered as both the ground portion of the problem both taking off and stopping and the inflight portion, are interrelated, since one depends upon the other. Because of this, the discussion will cover takeoff speed determination, takeoff distance determination, accelerate-stop determination and flight profile determination. The airfield problem is divided into three sections to enhance your understanding of the various details of the effort. They are:
The total effort is an interative process in that you must obtain many small segments of the supportive data, allow time to analytically combine these pieces of data and then demonstrate that the data generated is valid in the view of the certifying agency. In general, within the civil certification testing, the applicant usually has to perform the test program to gather data to present to the agency to show that the airplane will meet all of the certification criteria and then repeat critical portions of the certification demonstration with the agency on board to both monitor and actually flying the test airplane.
