"Stefan" wrote in message ... Blueskies wrote: Runways are selected to assure the ability to accelerate to V1 and then stop with maximum braking. Isn't it the other way round: The runway length defines v1? Stefan Well, yea, gross takeoff weight and density altitude, etc control define V1, so you could look at a runway then decide the max weight allowable for that day. You need to be sure that the runway is long enough to accel to V1 then stop... |

George Patterson wrote: No mention of the fact that the deceleration produced by barriers like that would have killed everyone on board this aircraft had they been in place. Maybe, maybe not, I don't know. But if that plane would have hit a school bus full of kids when crossing the road and/or that warehouse would not have happened to be empty at that time, I bet the airport would already be closed right now. Stefdan I don't think so... |

Yesterday, NPR news stated that the mayor is pushing for reducing the number of flights at TEB and installing "foam crash barriers" at the ends of the runway. No mention of the fact that the deceleration produced by barriers like that would have killed everyone on board this aircraft had they been in place. George Patterson He who would distinguish what is true from what is false must have an adequate understanding of truth and falsehood. Build some sort of ramp thing that would carry the plane up and over the road as it stops, like a runaway truck ramp ;-) |

Yes, but more voters drive cars on the hiqhway going past TEB than fly out of it. That is all that matters to politicians. Matt |

Quite often Vr is faster than V1... Knowing this, but being only SE rated, I've a question: It seems that certain problems become apparent only at Vr. So why not use that as the "size of runway/weight of aircraft" factor? I'm also curious as to whether the aircraft in this accident gets the same type of runup as do the little Cessnas I fly. One part of this is always pulling the yoke back and confirming elevator movement (in the proper direction). - Andrew |

"Doug Carter" wrote in message om... Don't turbine aircraft POH's require sufficient runway length to stop after an abort? Yes, but an abort is predicated prior to or at V1 (takeoff decision speed), not after the higher Vr (rotate speed). |

Gary, The challengers have dampers that come into effect when there is no boost pressure. On Falcons, the hydraulic actuators essentially lock up with no pressure. Neither require any other locks. If memory serves, Gulfstream locks the rudder only.

Even so, one of our Lears had the rudder stops beat up when a Falcon parked right behind us blew our rudder around, even with the gust lock installed. Ouch. |
