DESIGN AND VALIDATION USING FLIGHT DATA OF A　METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE GROUND RUN　REQUIRED FOR TAKE-OFF

摘要

The role of a take-off performance monitor is torndetermine whether the take-off manoeuvre isrndeveloping as desired or otherwise. Dependingrnon design criteria, the system usually eitherrncompares the achieved performance against arnpre-determined threshold, or else looks aheadrnand attempts to predict the future performancernalong the run. Whilst offering significantrnadvantages over the former, the latter typernrelies on accurate prediction and the capabilityrnof looking as far ahead as possible to providernearly warning of any impending anomaly to therncrew. This paper discusses the predictivernapproach adopted in the design of arnperformance monitoring algorithm and presentsrnthe results obtained from flight testing using thernCollege of Aeronautics’ Jetstream-100 flyingrnlaboratory.
