The economic situation of the recent years forces to operate aircrafts at highest payloads possibl; aircrafts must be loaded at their maximum allowable take-off masses. Consequently, an optimization of the take-off performance is now as important as never before. The take-off performance data for several flight and ambient conditions are usually presented in so called runway analyses. This book might be of interest for personnel of fight engineering and pilots as it answers possible questions about the application and the computing of runway analyses. Moreover, this book offers a summary of factors affecting the maximum take-off mass and appropriate take-off speeds, which together represent necessary performance data for a safe take-off. Particular sections describe a principle of the optimization process and offer a designed conceptual model in a form of flowcharts according to which it is possible to perform a calculation for various aerodrome or weather conditions. The created conceptual model may also serve as a core for the software application thus reducing the required time for manual calculations.
