Operational Landing Distances Airbus Operational Landing Distances International Air Safety Seminar 2011 International Air Safety Seminar – Singapore November 1-3, 2011 Operational Landing Distances Implementing the TALPA ARC proposals Presented by Lars KORNSTAEDT / Performance Expert, Airbus Flight Operations Support

TALPA ARC Concepts Page 2 Airbus Operational Landing Distances International Air Safety Seminar 2011 TALPA ARC Concepts Common rules For all airports For all manufacturers For all operators Shared operational landing performance computation Realistic Air Distance Representative Friction All physical effects considered Standardized performance to match reported conditions Standardized runway condition assessment Allow performance determination for all types of reports Page 2

FAA TALPA ARC – Runway Assessment Matrix Airbus Operational Landing Distances International Air Safety Seminar 2011 FAA TALPA ARC – Runway Assessment Matrix Reporting Code Measured Friction Reported Braking Action Code 2 Runway Contaminant Greater than 1/8” of: Water Slush Mu (µ) ~29-21µ Deceleration and Directional Control Observation Brake deceleration and controllability is between Medium and Poor. Potential for hydroplaning exists. PiRep Medium to Poor DOWNGRADE ONLY Primary Assessment Differentiation by Temperature PiRep Guidelines

Always start assessment with contaminant type and depth Airbus Operational Landing Distances International Air Safety Seminar 2011 Procedure Always start assessment with contaminant type and depth Use additional information to Degrade to lower friction code Never upgrade Careful with friction reports May be optimistic on fluid contaminants Do not hesitate to request additional information from ATC

TALPA Rules in a Nutshell Airbus Operational Landing Distances International Air Safety Seminar 2011 TALPA Rules in a Nutshell Provide Runway Status Reports Using Matrix and associated methodology In a performance oriented way Publish Realistic Landing Performance Data In accordance with agreed rules For all supported aircraft types Make Systematic Landing Performance Check In all cases except for dry runway Apply a 15% margin to the result

Situation for Airbus – BEFORE Airbus Operational Landing Distances International Air Safety Seminar 2011 Situation for Airbus – BEFORE Publication for in-flight use Unfactored certified reference distances used for dispatch For incomplete list of contaminant types and depths Coverage of loose snow by equivalence only Inconsistent assumptions between dry/wet and contaminants for airborne phase Operators must define their own margins Pilots have difficulty in using published data with diverse runway condition reporting methods

Airbus Situation – AFTER Airbus Operational Landing Distances International Air Safety Seminar 2011 Airbus Situation – AFTER For all Airbus aircraft At least “Minimum Compliance” with TALPA ARC Cover all 6 friction levels Accountability for Temperature effect Runway slope effect Matrix as entry-point All Performance data sources Flight Ops Engineer Software Flight Manual Operational Documentation Electronic Flight Bag Training Material
