Region of Reversed Command
• The majority of aircraft flying (climb, cruise, and maneuvers) is conducted in the region of normal command.
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
1) What region does the majority of aircraft flying take place?
2) What is the region called that is encountered in slow speeds?
3) Any surface that is not hard and smooth will increase the ground roll during takeoff. (True/False)
4) Describe what is the gradient or slope of a runway.
5) Describe the affect on an aircraft with respect to takeoff distance, with a downsloping runway.
Warm-Up – 5/1 – 10 minutes
Region of Reversed Command
• The region of reversed command is encountered in the low speed phases of flight.
• In the region of reversed command, a decrease in airspeed must be accompanied by an increased power setting in order to maintain steady flight.
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
1) What region does the majority of aircraft flying take place?
2) What is the region called that is encountered in slow speeds?
3) Any surface that is not hard and smooth will increase the ground roll during takeoff. (True/False)
4) Describe what is the gradient or slope of a runway.
5) Describe the affect on an aircraft with respect to takeoff distance, with a downsloping runway.
Warm-Up – 5/1 – 10 minutes
Runway Surface and Gradient
• The runway surface encountered may be concrete, asphalt, gravel, dirt, or grass.
• Any surface that is
not hard and smooth will increase the ground roll during takeoff.
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
1) What region does the majority of aircraft flying take place?
2) What is the region called that is encountered in slow speeds?
3) Any surface that is not hard and smooth will increase the ground roll during takeoff. (True/False)
4) Describe what is the gradient or slope of a runway.
5) Describe the affect on an aircraft with respect to takeoff distance, with a downsloping runway.
Warm-Up – 5/1 – 10 minutes
Runway Surface and Gradient• The gradient or
slope of the runway is the amount of change in runway height over the length of the runway.
• A positive gradient indicates the runway height increases, and a negative gradient indicates the runway decreases in height.
Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions:
1) What region does the majority of aircraft flying take place?
2) What is the region called that is encountered in slow speeds?
3) Any surface that is not hard and smooth will increase the ground roll during takeoff. (True/False)
4) Describe what is the gradient or slope of a runway.
5) Describe the affect on an aircraft with respect to takeoff distance, with a downsloping runway.
Warm-Up – 5/1 – 10 minutes
Runway Surface and Gradient• A downsloping
runway aids in acceleration on takeoff resulting in shorter takeoff distances.
• The opposite is true when landing, as landing on a downsloping runway increases landing distances.

Today’s Mission Requirements
Water on the Runway and Dynamic Hydroplaning
• Water on the runways reduces the friction between the tires and the ground, and can reduce braking effectiveness.
• This is also true of braking effectiveness when runways are covered in ice.
Water on the Runway and Dynamic Hydroplaning
• To help minimize dynamic hydroplaning, some runways are grooved to help drain off water; most runways are not.
