sssssoffffIn the 1. The t1.

The take-off climb or take-off flight path extends


from 35ft above the take-off
surface.
2. With a contaminated runway Take-off, the Take-off climb begins at 15ft &
not 35ft
3. Reference Zero:-The point on the ground directly below the 35ft screen is
called
reference zero.
4. There are two main requirements that must be met within the Take-off
climb and
these requirements are based upon an engine failure occurring at V EF.
a. The first requirement is that the aeroplane must be able to achieve the
minimum
climb gradients
b. Secondly the aeroplane must be able to maintain sufficient obstacle
clearance.
*The climb gradient requirement are air based gradient and the obstacle
clearance equirement use ground based gradients.
5. The manufacturer or operator may either use a continuous demonstrated
Takeoff climb or a segmented Take-off Climb.
SEGMENTS OF THE TAKE-OFF CLIMB
1. The Take-off climb is generally split into 4 unique segments.
2. each segment is characteristic of a distinct change in aeroplane
configuration,
speed and or thrust with various actions and climb gradient requirements.
SEGMENT 1
1. The 35 ft screen marks the start point of segment 1.
2. The Objective at this point is to climb, as expeditiously as possible which is
difficult
because of the lack of excess thrust due to the large amount of drag created by
the
gear and flaps and the fact that only one engine is in operation.
3. We are not retracting flaps in this segment as retracting flaps at low speeds
close to
the ground is dangerous, the only option is to retract the gear.
4. Once the gear is up and locked than the first segment is finished.
5. During this segment the steady gradient of climb muse be positive.
SEGMENT 2
1. The second segment start at the end of the first segment i.e. when the gear is
up.
2. The objective now is to retract the flaps.
3. However, flap retraction is not permitted below 400ft
4. Action by the pilot is simply to climb, at no less than V2, until 400ft is
reached.
5. Once 400ft is reached and flap retract can commence, segment 2 ends.
6. The minimum gradient required 2.4%
SEGMENT 3
1. Segment 3 starts at or above 400ft and is the flap ake-off climb or take-off
flight path extends from 35ft above the take-off
surface.
