4 ENGINE PERFORMANCE

Course Information

The aircraft performance of jet aircraft is basically very similar, but when flying a four-engine aircraft there are some important items that must be emphasized for the operator and the pilots. This program identifies critical issues that differ with this type of aircraft from the standard two-engine models. Included in this program are the following items: General aircraft performance definitions of terms and the importance of the accurate computation of this data. A review of takeoff performance data information such as brake energy limitation, head/crosswind components, field length, climb limit, obstacle limit, tire speed limit, V-speeds and minimum control speeds and a discuss of the challenge of asymmetric thrust from the loss of an outboard engine during a critical phase of flight. Great review for pilots of four-engine jet aircraft.
