Operational Landing Distance (OLD) Rev 22, Sep 11/20
1. GENERAL
The Challenger 650 QRH allows for the calculation of Operational Landing Distances (OLD) for
normal landing configurations. The OLD are calculated based on guidelines of FAA AC 25−32
Landing Performance Data for Time of Arrival Landing Performance Assessments and provide a
better assessment of landing distances required than Actual Landing Distances (ALD).
The QRH FOLD tables account for:
• Actual OAT (covers ISA and non−ISA conditions)
• Runway Slope
• Altitude
• Winds
• VREF increment
• Use of thrust reversers
• Runway Condition (dry/Wet/contaminated)
• MMEL items.
A minimum 15% operational distance factor is included in the FOLD data.
Data includes weights that are greater than the MLW of 17,237 kg (38,000 lb).
NOTE
The FOLD calculation using the QRH FOLD tables may be different
than the FMS ALD with FOLD factor applied due to conservative QRH
corrections. The lesser distance may be used.
NOTE
1. Do not operate on a runway surface condition corresponding to
Runway Condition Code 0.
2. Initial selection of the Runway Condition Code must be based on
the RCC reported and if not available then the runway surface
condition description. The Equivalent Pilot−reported braking action
must only be considered if it downgrades the runway condition (i.e.
reduces the Runway Condition Code).
3. PERFORMANCES
OLD was designed to be used in flight to assess landing conditions at time of arrival. The more
precise OLD model provides greater accuracy in estimating landing distances. The OLD landing
distances can be calculated manually (Example 1 to 4) or with the FMS (Example 5) using the
associated QRH tables, in a more conservative way.
