Foreword
Conversations with colleagues, discussions during cruise fight coupled with my experiences
when conducting performance courses in the classroom have led me to draw the conclusion that
aircraft portormance is ot easily understood by aine plots in their daly operation. Aircraft
‘manufacturers and aitines provide pilots with numerous performance data but tis not always
Clear when or how this should be used.
itis because ofthis that the wish arose for a small guide containing all the performance rules
which might be faced by aircrew both occasionally and on a daily basis.
This Performance Fleference Handbook (PRH) isthe result
This handbook contains European (EASA) performance regulations applicable to Performance
iass A (lerge civil mul-engined jet) airrat in general and the related data plus apolcation for
the Boeing 737 NG specicaly. It's complete with many clarifying pictures and flowcharts, as
we pilots prefer. In addition, due to ts handy size it wil easily tt into your fight bag.
Anyway, | hope that this PRH will assist in making performance calculations and related
‘decisions and help you become more familiar with what specie performance data ropresents.
Moreover, the computerised era has dawned and this affects many of us, influencing
performance calculations with electronic tools like EFB. The lack of transparency in
‘computerisation means that many picts wi lose their overview ofthis aspect of the operation.
So with respect to the PRH, use, enjoy and don’ hesitate to enticise it, because I'm looking
forward to any remarks, comments andor feedback!

INTRODUCTION
Every public transport aicraft taking off has to meot soveral_ minimum performance
requirements in order to be able to reach an acceptable level of safety throughout the fight from
takeoff fo the subsequent landing
‘These minimum requirements, with respect to aircraft performance, are laid down in aviation
regulations which cover both the aircraft ceritication and operation.
‘Worldwide there are two major aviation rulemaking organizations, EASA and FAA.
EASA, the European Aviation Safety Agency, established in 2003 and absorbed the JAA (Joint
Aviation Authorties) by 2008, develops, adopts and implements requirements conceming
aircraft design, certification, operation, maintenance and crew licensing
Coriftcation requirements ior Performance Class A (large civil multrengined jet) alcrat, as Is
the Booing 737NG, aro laid down in Part 25 of EASA’s Cortication Specifications (CS-25),
replacing the former JAR-25 (Joint Aviation Requirements), and almost identical to the FAA
(USA's Federal Aviation Administration) equivalont FAR-28,
(Oporating requirements are documented in EU-OPS.
This edition of the PAH reflects the EASA aircralt performance regulations recagnized in GS-25
and EU-OPS. Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Interpretative / Explanatory Material
(EM) form a part ofthese regulations and are also referenced.

1.2. OPERATIONAL TAKEOFF SPEEDS
From the demonstrated spaeds the following operational speeds are derived:
1.21. Taksotf Decision speed - V,
Takeo Decision speed (V)): The speed used as a reference in the event of engine or
‘ther faire m deciding whether to continue or reject the takeof.
CS-Dotinitions
V; means the maximum speed in the take-off at which the pilot must take the frst
action (0.9. apply brakes, reduce thrust, deploy speed brakes) o stop the aeroplane
within the accolerate-stop distance,
V; also means the minimum speed in the take-of, following 2 failure ofthe erica
lengine at Vex at which the pilot can continue the take-off and achieve the required
height above the take-off surface within the takeoff stance.
12 Rogulations require a single value of V, forthe rojected and continued takeoft
12 Regulations account for one second of recognition and reaction time between VeF, the
speed at which the event is assumed to take place, and the pilot's ist action to reject
the takeoft

225.1. Dry Runway
EU-OPS 1.480
A ty runway is one which is neither wet nar contaminated, and includes those
‘paved runways which have been specialy prepared with grooves or porous
‘pavement and maintained to retain ‘llecively dry’ braking action even when
‘moisture i present.
Grooved or porous friction course runway: A paved runway that has been prepared
with lateral grooving or a porous friction course (PFO) surface to improve braking
Characteristics when wet.
EU-OPS 1.475
For performance purposes. a damp runway, other than a grass runway, may be
considered tobe dy.
EU-OPS 1.490

Bocause of the lower screenheight, the use of clearway on @ wet runway is not
alowed.
‘The TOW on a wet runway must not exceed that permitted for takeotf on a dry
runway under the same conditions. Therefore a Dry Check is required to exclude the
