The aircraft were given marks for four tasks : speed over two sets of five laps, slow speed flying and take off and landing distances.

ALPA spokesman Bob Flocke said of the FAA's new landing distance limits : " We didn't agree with the way they got their figures ."

When viewing a runway's size with displaced thresholds, one must find out how long the displaced thresholds are in order to calculate the available landing distance.
34.
Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances.

To reduce the landing distance the wing incorporated automatic Fowler Flaps, with the radiator gills also coupled to the flap control, which was advanced at the time.

This method does allow the shortest landing distance but can be difficult to carry out in crosswinds, as rudder control may be reduced severely before the tailwheel can become effective.
37.
Since the operational requirements of most aircraft are defined by the best take-off or landing distances under all weather conditions, Maxaret allowed aircraft to operate at 15 % higher all-up weights.

While at Eglin, the 35-man RCAF crew will collect high-temperature performance data on the Argus, including fuel consumption rates, takeoff and landing distances, maintenance techniques, and functional checks of the armament systems.

Such as : take-off and landing distances, max L / D, wing aspect ratio, tapor ratio, swept angle, incidence angle, dihedral angle, airfoils, wheel track, wheel base, quantity of fuel, etc . Too esoteric?
