Takeoffs are a high-risk phase of flight, with many accidents occurring due to pilots relying on instinct instead of proper performance planning. Pilots must calculate takeoff performance for ...

Short-field takeoffs are significantly more dangerous and demand greater runway length than landings, often leading to higher fatality rates primarily due to stall/spin accidents. Pilots must ...

Certain transport aircraft will be required to carry a take-off performance monitoring system to reduce the persistent risk of data-entry and calculation errors, under a new proposal from the European ...
