How Do You Calculate Takeoff & Landing Distance Of A C-152?
As with any aspect of aviation, there are safety checks built into flying. From weight and balance of the aircraft to the maximum altitude you can fly, an airplane and flying both involve many calculations. To facilitate this, there are aircraft manuals and formulas that make this easier. Calculating the takeoff and landing distance of a C-152 allows a pilot to insure a safe takeoff and landing, as well as to allow different alternatives in the event of an emergency where you need to land at the nearest suitable airport. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to do those determine those calculations using the C-152 operator manual. Get your actual loaded weight and balance. There is a weight and balance calculator listed in Resources to help you perform this. Next, get the local temperature. As the temperature rises, your takeoff and landing distance will both increase; the opposite occurs when the temperature lowers. Airplanes behave differently at different temperatures. A high te
