Method for Determination of Airplane Takeoff and Landing Distance

Abstract

The paper presents a new method for determination of airplane ground roll distances during takeoff or landing. The method uses a ground speed sensor and a vertical acceleration sensor as measuring instrumentation. The procedure for obtaining the point of the liftoff or touchdown has been described based on sample data set. Also, sample results of takeoff and landing ground roll measurements performed by means of the presented method has been included in the paper.
