This Calculations Could Save Your Life – Runway Distance Explained! TORA, ASDA, TODA, LDA

🚨 Pilots, do you REALLY know how much runway you need? 🚨

When it comes to takeoff and landing, understanding declared runway distances isn't just about numbers—it’s about safety. In this video, we break down the critical runway distances every pilot must know, including:

✈️ TORA (Takeoff Run Available) – How much runway is actually usable for takeoff.
✈️ TODA (Takeoff Distance Available) – When clearways extend your takeoff distance.
✈️ ASDA (Accelerate-Stop Distance Available) – The distance you have for a rejected takeoff.
✈️ LDA (Landing Distance Available) – The runway length available for landing.
✈️ Screen Height – Why 35 ft (takeoff) and 50 ft (landing) matter.
✈️ Balanced Field Length – The key to takeoff performance and V1 decision-making.

Understanding these calculations can save your life in high-stakes scenarios like engine failures, short runways, and contaminated surfaces.
