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.
Just need some clarification on TORA, TODA, ASDA and LDA.
In this instance, I have used Gladstone RDS RWY 10 as an example.
TORA: 1945m
TODA: 2005m
ASDA: 1945m
LDA: 1840m
Displaced threshold: 165m
So TODA is TORA + 60m = 2005m.
ASDA = TORA so there is no stopway.
If LDA is generally the same as TORA and suitable for the ground run of the aircraft on landing, in this instance why is LDA the result of TODA-165m. Should it not be TORA-165m?
Is the clearway of 60m taken into account for both take off and landing?
Thanks.
Hi Bob, can you please clarify this one for me? Thanks.
