-
RCR
number that indicates the degree of friction between the wheels and the runway surface
-
TOR
distance from brake release to where the main gear liftoff the runway at takeoff speed (TOS). TOS for a 12,700 lb T-38 is 164 KCAS
-
SETOS
speed which ensures a 100 ft/min climb out of ground effect on one engine with gear down and flaps 60%.
-
DS
minimum speed at which the aircraft can experience an instantaneous engine failure and still accelerate to SETOS and takeoff (approximately 350 feet from start of rotation at SETOS) in the remaining runway
-
RS
the maximum speed to which you can accelerate with both engines operating in MAX, and either: abort with both engines operating (BEO), or abort with an engine failure (EF).
-
RS Considerations
A 3-second pilot reaction time, aerodynamic braking (7.5°), and appropriate wheel braking (2 seconds to achieve cautious braking, and optimum braking below 100 kts) are all calculated into the abort.
-
CFL
distance from brake release for an aircraft to accelerate on two good engines to CEFS, experience an engine failure, and either continue to accelerate to SETOS and takeoff (approximately 350 feet from start of rotation at SETOS), or stop in the same distance.
-
NACS
the speed reached at a predetermined distance by a normal aircraft
-
MACS
minimum acceptable speed at a predetermined distance with which takeoff should be continued.
-
Go/No Go
speed which is used to determine whether or not to continue should you experience a problem on initial takeoff.
-
LD
the length of runway required to stop the aircraft based on full flaps.
-
LD Considerations
distance from where the main gear touch down (at touchdown speed) and not from the runway threshold. Based on aerobraking at 7.5°, lowering nose to the runway, and gradually applying wheel brakes to desired levels within 2 seconds
