The Australian Aviation Theory Forum is a place for student pilots to ask questions, discuss CASA theory exams and share knowledge about RPL/PPL, CPL, IREX and recreational aviation study.
Hi all
Thought this would be an easy problem, but just seeking clarification on something. I’m just getting told conflicting information by different people and would like to back up my understanding of CAO 20.7.4
Takeoff distances.
My understanding :
The data which are entered into the tables are derived from:
- AWIS / ATIS if available (Temp / pressure / wind)
- TAF if obtained within an hour prior to takeoff (Temp / pressure / wind)
- Ambient conditions ie altimeter set to 1013, windsock and reading off OAT
- declared density charts (pressure and ISA temp only)
Landing distances
TAF (1 hr prior to departure - short sectors only??) and declared density
Thanks all!
