Document Summary
Government airworthiness regulations, like the canadian aviation regulations (cars) by transport canada and the fars by the faa, stipulate the minimum standards for the safe landing of airplanes. Here, reference will be made to far part 23 for small (light) airplanes, and far part 25 for heavier ( > 12500 lb, 5670 kg) transport aircraft (typically multi-engined; see far 25. 125 for landing info). 1 for a fixed-wing aircraft"s landing profile, one can define a number of pertinent parameters describing the aircraft"s landing performance. Landing distance, sld, is defined as the distance necessary to come to a complete (full) stop from a height 50 ft (15. 24 m) above the landing surface (far 23 and 25 aircraft). Other regulatory requirements include: the aircraft must be in a landing configuration (e. g. , full flap deployment, landing gear fully down) at the nominal screen height position, in establishing the airplane"s published value for sld.
