Roll plus 500 feet for max efforts. For peacetime, compute landing performance with two
engines in reverse and two engines in ground idle.
5.18.2.1. Runway Length for Takeoff and Intersection Takeoffs. Normally, the PF will
initiate takeoffs from the beginning of the approved usable portion of the runway. The
decision to make intersection takeoffs rests solely with the PIC.
5.18.2.2. Pilots may accomplish intersection takeoffs provided the operating
environment (i.e., gross weight, obstructions, climb criteria, weather, etc.) allows a safe
takeoff and departure. Calculate takeoff performance based on the runway remaining
from the point at which the takeoff is initiated.
5.18.2.3. During operations on runways partially covered with snow or ice, base takeoff
computations on the reported runway surface condition (RSC) or runway condition
reading (RCR) for the cleared portion of the runway. A minimum of 40 feet either side of
centerline should be cleared (30 feet for maximum effort operations). If 40 feet either
side of centerline is not cleared (30 feet for max effort ops), compute takeoff data based
on the uncleared portion.
5.18.2.4. Use of Overruns. If approach end overruns are available and stressed or
authorized for normal operations, they may be used to increase the runway available for
takeoff. Departure end overruns (if stressed and authorized) may also be used for landing
if needed.
5.18.3. Arresting Cables.
5.18.3.1. Do not land on (touchdown on) approach end arresting cables (does not include
recessed cables). If the aircraft lands before the cable, the crew will contact the tower to
have the cable inspected.
5.18.3.2. Do not takeoff or land over an approach end cable that has been reported as
slack, loose, or improperly rigged by NOTAM, Automated Terminal Information Service
(ATIS), or ATC.
5.18.3.3. Operations are authorized on runways where BAK-12 systems with an eightpoint
cable tie-down system are installed. Operation over raised barrier cables with disctype
support (except donut supported BAK-12 cables restrained with eight point
tiedowns) at high speeds may result in damage to the airplane.
5.18.4. Other Airfield Requirements.
5.18.4.1. Consult with HQ AMC/A3AS (Airfield Suitability Branch) for suitability
guidance. Airfield certification requirements are detailed in the ASRR.
5.18.4.2. Aircrews and planning agencies will contact HQ AMC/A3AS for all questions
pertaining to airfield weight bearing capacity and will review the GDSS/ASRR before all
off-station operations. HQ AMC/A3 is the waiver authority for the restrictions in GDSS
Giant Report and ASRR for AMC and AMC-gained aircraft, unless specifically delegated
in this or AMCI 11-208. Direct GDSS Giant Report and ASRR waiver requests to HQ
AMC/A3AS. HQ AMC/A3V is the OPR for waivers to airfield restrictions.
MAJCOM/A3/DO is the waiver authority for non-AMC missions. The PIC is
responsible for waiver compliance.
