Question

The distance required to accelerate the aircraft to takeoff speed, experience an engine failure, and climb to 50 feet above the runway is?

a) Accelerate go distance
b) Accelerate stop distance
c) Critical engine failure speed
d) None of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is Accelerate stop distance, which refers to the distance required for an aircraft to accelerate to takeoff speed, experience an engine failure, and come to a stop.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b) Accelerate stop distance.

Accelerate stop distance refers to the distance required for an aircraft to accelerate to takeoff speed, experience an engine failure, and come to a stop. It takes into consideration the acceleration distance, the distance required to reach takeoff speed, and the distance required to come to a stop in the event of an engine failure.

For example, if an aircraft requires 6000 feet to accelerate to takeoff speed and another 2000 feet to come to a stop in the event of an engine failure, the accelerate stop distance would be 8000 feet.
