 Departure sector
 Reference zero
 Flap configuration
 Level-off height
 Flexible takeoff
 Extended second segment
 Noise abatement procedures
INTRODUCTION
To ensure obstacle clearance on initial climb with one engine out, the
takeoff path must meet some requirements. This path starts at 35 ft
and ends at least at 1500 ft, and has been divided into 4 segments.
Every segment has its own required configuration and climb gradient.

CLIMB REQUIREMENTS
Climb requirements are different for each segment, and they depend
on the number of engines of the aircraft:

OBSTACLE CLEARANCE
GROSS TAKEOFF PATH:
It is the actual path that the aircraft follows.
NET TAKEOFF PATH:
It is the path that results after subtracting a mandatory
gradient from the gross takeoff path.
The gradient reduction applied to obtain the net path depends on the
number of engines of the aircraft:
2 ENGINES: - 0,8 %
3 ENGINES: - 0,9 %
4 ENGINES: - 1,0 %
OBSTACLE CLEARANCE
The obstacle clearance requirements establish that the margin
between the net takeoff path and the obstacles within the departure
sector must be 35 ft.

OBSTACLE CLEARANCE
The prescribed reduction in climb gradient may be applied as an

To avoid an obstacle, you have different possibilities:
TOD ASD CLIMB GRADIENT
FLAPS ↓ increases increases increases
TOW ↓ decreases decreases increases
V1 ↑ decreases increases no change
V2 ↑ increases no change increases
DEPARTURE SECTOR
The departure sector begins at the end of the TODA (or at the end of
TOD if a turn starts before the end of TODA), with a width of 300 ft on
each side of the runway. This width increases with an angle of 7,1º up
to a maximum width of:
 1000 ft (300 m) for departures under VMC
 2000 ft (600 m) for departures under IMC
1000 ft VMC
2000 ft IMC
300 ft
300 ft
7,1º
DEPARTURE SECTOR
If the departure requires a heading change of more than 15º, the width
of the departure sector increases. SIDs shall not require a turn before
reaching 150 ft AGL (2 & 3 engines) or 250 ft AGL (4 engines):
 2000 ft (600 m) for departures under VMC
 3000 ft (900 m) for departures under IMC
2000 ft VMC3000 ft IMC
DEPARTURE SECTOR
Turns within the departure sector are usually restricted to 2nd
and 4th
segment. Maximum bank angle is 15º; if more bank angle is needed for
the departure, the obstacle clearance shall not be less than 50 ft.
JAR regulations (JAR-OPS 1.495) prohibit turns below the height
equivalent to half wing span or 50 ft, whichever is less.
Bank angles are also limited to 15º up to 400 ft and to 25º above 400 ft.

REFERENCE ZERO
The point on the ground at the end of the Takeoff Distance Required
(TODR) is usually known as reference zero.
Therefore, reference zero is that point where the net path reaches the
screen height of 35 ft (15 ft for a wet runway) and the V2 speed,
assuming critical engine failure at V1.
FLAP CONFIGURATION
Depending on the distance between the obstacles and the runway,
different flap settings will be more convenient.
 For a distant obstacle, a lower flap setting will increase obstacle
clearance capability.
 For an obstacle close to the runway, a higher flap setting will
improve obstacle clearance.
FLAP 5º
FLAP 15º
LEVEL-OFF HEIGHT
The 3rd
segment is also known as level-off height. Its minimum value is
400 ft AGL, but some airlines establish a value of 700 – 1000 ft AGL, as
well as a EFP (Engine Failure Procedure).
The level-off height will depend also on the Takeoff Thrust Time
limitation, which is usually 5 minutes with all engines operating and 10
minutes with one engine inoperative.
The Go Around thrust time limits are the same as for TO thrust.
FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF
When your actual takeoff weight is lower than the maximum takeoff
weight, you can perform a takeoff with less than the maximum takeoff
thrust, thus improving engine life and maintenance costs.
To manage this thrust reduction, we use the concept of assumed or
flexible temperature: The maximum OAT which would make the takeoff
possible with our ATOW.
The maximum allowed thrust reduction is 25%.

FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF
ATOW = 60000 Kg / Wind calm
Use the configuration giving the highest FLEX TEMP. If both
configurations give the same FLEX TEMP, use the one giving
the lowest speeds:
CONFIG 2 : V1 – 135, VR – 135, V2 – 137
FLEX TEMP: 52 ºC
 QNH and bleed corrections may be applied to PTOW and TFLEX.
EXTENDED SECOND SEGMENT
If we extend the second segment (which is usually the most limitative),
our PTOW may be improved.
The 2nd
segment may be extended indefinitely, until the maximum
takeoff thrust time limit is reached. At that moment, the 3rd
segment
must be commenced with the engines set at MCT (Maximum
Continuous Thrust).

NET TAKEOFF PATH: It is the path that results after subtracting a mandatory gradient from the gross takeoff path. The gradient reduction applied to obtain the net path depends on the number of engines of the aircraft: 2 ENGINES: - 0,8 % 3 ENGINES: - 0,9 % 4 ENGINES: - 1,0 %
  • 9. OBSTACLE CLEARANCE The obstacle clearance requirements establish that the margin between the net takeoff path and the obstacles within the departure sector must be 35 ft. Distance Altitude 35 ft GROSS TAKEOFF PATH NET TAKEOFF PATH
  • 10. OBSTACLE CLEARANCE The prescribed reduction in climb gradient may be applied as an equivalent reduction in acceleration along that part of the takeoff flight path at which the airplane is accelerated in level flight. Distance Altitude 35 ft GROSS TAKEOFF PATH NET TAKEOFF PATH

  • 12. DEPARTURE SECTOR The departure sector begins at the end of the TODA (or at the end of TOD if a turn starts before the end of TODA), with a width of 300 ft on each side of the runway. This width increases with an angle of 7,1º up to a maximum width of:  1000 ft (300 m) for departures under VMC  2000 ft (600 m) for departures under IMC 1000 ft VMC 2000 ft IMC 300 ft 300 ft 7,1º
  • 13. DEPARTURE SECTOR If the departure requires a heading change of more than 15º, the width of the departure sector increases. SIDs shall not require a turn before reaching 150 ft AGL (2 & 3 engines) or 250 ft AGL (4 engines):  2000 ft (600 m) for departures under VMC  3000 ft (900 m) for departures under IMC 2000 ft VMC3000 ft IMC
  • 14. DEPARTURE SECTOR Turns within the departure sector are usually restricted to 2nd and 4th segment. Maximum bank angle is 15º; if more bank angle is needed for the departure, the obstacle clearance shall not be less than 50 ft. JAR regulations (JAR-OPS 1.495) prohibit turns below the height equivalent to half wing span or 50 ft, whichever is less. Bank angles are also limited to 15º up to 400 ft and to 25º above 400 ft. Half wingspan 150 ft AGL 400 ft AGL Turns prohibited No SID turns required Bank limit 15º Bank limit 25º
  • 17. REFERENCE ZERO The point on the ground at the end of the Takeoff Distance Required (TODR) is usually known as reference zero. Therefore, reference zero is that point where the net path reaches the screen height of 35 ft (15 ft for a wet runway) and the V2 speed, assuming critical engine failure at V1.
  • 18. FLAP CONFIGURATION Depending on the distance between the obstacles and the runway, different flap settings will be more convenient.  For a distant obstacle, a lower flap setting will increase obstacle clearance capability.  For an obstacle close to the runway, a higher flap setting will improve obstacle clearance. FLAP 5º FLAP 15º
  • 19. LEVEL-OFF HEIGHT The 3rd segment is also known as level-off height. Its minimum value is 400 ft AGL, but some airlines establish a value of 700 – 1000 ft AGL, as well as a EFP (Engine Failure Procedure). The level-off height will depend also on the Takeoff Thrust Time limitation, which is usually 5 minutes with all engines operating and 10 minutes with one engine inoperative. The Go Around thrust time limits are the same as for TO thrust.
  • 20. FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF When your actual takeoff weight is lower than the maximum takeoff weight, you can perform a takeoff with less than the maximum takeoff thrust, thus improving engine life and maintenance costs. To manage this thrust reduction, we use the concept of assumed or flexible temperature: The maximum OAT which would make the takeoff possible with our ATOW. The maximum allowed thrust reduction is 25%.

  • 23. FLEXIBLE TAKEOFF ATOW = 60000 Kg / Wind calm Use the configuration giving the highest FLEX TEMP. If both configurations give the same FLEX TEMP, use the one giving the lowest speeds: CONFIG 2 : V1 – 135, VR – 135, V2 – 137 FLEX TEMP: 52 ºC  QNH and bleed corrections may be applied to PTOW and TFLEX.
  • 24. EXTENDED SECOND SEGMENT If we extend the second segment (which is usually the most limitative), our PTOW may be improved. The 2nd segment may be extended indefinitely, until the maximum takeoff thrust time limit is reached. At that moment, the 3rd segment must be commenced with the engines set at MCT (Maximum Continuous Thrust). Extended second segment MCT Time limit (10 min)
