Notes 

Test entry number and title 

1.a.1. Performance. Taxi. Min-

imum Radius turn.

TIR, AFM, or Design data may be used.

1.a.2. Performance. Taxi Rate 

of Turn vs. Nosewheel Steer-
ing Angle.

Data may be acquired by using a constant 

tiller position, measured with a pro-
tractor or full rudder pedal application 
for steady state turn, and synchronized 
video of heading indicator. If less than 
full rudder pedal is used, pedal position 
must be recorded.

A single procedure may not be 

adequate for all airplane 
steering systems, therefore 
appropriate measurement 
procedures must be devised 
and proposed for NSPM con-
currence. 

1.b.1. Performance. Takeoff. 

Ground Acceleration Time 
and Distance.

Preliminary certification data may be 

used. Data may be acquired by using a 
stop watch, calibrated airspeed, and 
runway markers during a takeoff with 
power set before brake release. Power 
settings may be hand recorded. If an in-
ertial measurement system is installed, 
speed and distance may be derived 
from acceleration measurements.

1.b.2. Performance. Takeoff. 

Minimum Control Speed— 
ground (V

mcg

) using aero-

dynamic controls only (per ap-
plicable airworthiness stand-
ard) or low speed, engine in-
operative ground control char-
acteristics.

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

Rapid throttle reductions at 

speeds near V

mcg

may be 

used while recording appro-
priate parameters. The 
nosewheel must be free to 
caster, or equivalently freed 
of sideforce generation. 

1.b.3. Performance. Takeoff. 

Minimum Unstick Speed (V

mu

or equivalent test to dem-
onstrate early rotation takeoff 
characteristics.

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and the force/position 
measurements of flight deck controls.

1.b.4. Performance. Takeoff. 

Normal Takeoff.

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls. AOA can 
be calculated from pitch attitude and 
flight path.

1.b.5. Performance. Takeoff. 

Critical Engine Failure during 
Takeoff.

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

Record airplane dynamic re-

sponse to engine failure and 
control inputs required to cor-
rect flight path. 

1.b.6. Performance. Takeoff. 

Crosswind Takeoff.

Data may be acquired by using an inertial 

measurement system and a syn-
chronized video of calibrated airplane 
instruments and force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

The ‘‘1:7 law’’ to 100 feet (30 

meters) is an acceptable 
wind profile.
