Subpart 8 : Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations

Division One : Aeroplane Limitations

93.08.3 Net take-off flight path

 

(1) A person may not conduct a take-off in an aircraft if a mass of such aircraft is greater than a mass specified in such aircraft flight manual as allowing a net take-off flight path that clears all obstacles by at least 35 feet vertically or at least 62 meters horizontally within an aerodrome boundaries and by at least 95 meters horizontally outside such boundaries.

 

(2) In determining a maximum mass, minimum distances and flight path referred to in subregulation (1)—
(a) corrections shall be made for—
(i) runway to be used;
(ii) runway slope in a direction of take-off;
(iii) pressure-altitude at an aerodrome;
(iv) ambient temperature; and
(v) wind component at a time of take-off, where not more than 50 percent of reported headwind component or not less than 150 percent of reported tailwind component may be considered; and
(b) calculations shall be based on a pilot—
(i) not banking an aircraft before reaching an altitude of 50 feet;
(ii) subject to subregulation (3), using 15 degrees or less of bank at or below 400 feet; and
(iii) using not more than 25 degrees of bank thereafter, aircraft speed and configuration permitting.

 

(3) A bank angle greater than the 15 degrees referred to in subregulation (2)(b)(ii) may only be used if authorised by the Director.

 

(4) A CAO shall issue operating instructions and provide information on aeroplane climb performance with all engines operating to enable a PIC to determine a climb gradient that can be achieved during a departure phase for an existing take-off condition and intended take-off technique.

 

(5) Information referred to in subregulation (4) shall be included in an operations manual.
