<strong>Air</strong>craft Operational Practices (Take<strong>of</strong>f)• At small flap settings (i.e., 5 or 10 degrees) the take<strong>of</strong>frunway length is increased due to small gains in C L (littleincrease in the lifting force). Useful for high-hot take<strong>of</strong>fconditions.• At medium flap angle settings (15-25 degrees) the gainsin lift usually override those <strong>of</strong> the drag force. These arethe flap settings typically used for take<strong>of</strong>f except underextremely abnormal airport environments such as highelevation, hot temperature airport conditions and highaircraft weights or a combination <strong>of</strong> both. Note that themaximum allowable take<strong>of</strong>f weight (MTOW)increases as the take<strong>of</strong>f flap setting is reduced.Virginia Tech - <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Laboratory 37
