A Basic Takeoff performance model is comprised of a simple set of parameters that define the flight characteristics of the aircraft during a takeoff.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Takeoff Speed | Defines the speed to which the aircraft accelerates on its ground roll for takeoff; select a reference from the drop-down menu - true airspeed (TAS), calibrated airspeed (CAS), equivalent airspeed (EAS), or Mach number. |
| Sea Level Ground Roll | Defines the distance the aircraft travels along the ground while accelerating to takeoff at sea level. |
| Departure Speed | Defines the aircraft's speed upon leaving the ground; select a reference from the drop-down menu - true airspeed (TAS), calibrated airspeed (CAS), equivalent airspeed (EAS), or Mach number. |
| Use Aero/Propulsion Fuel Flow | Select to use the fuel flow calculated by the aerodynamics and propulsion strategies defined in the active acceleration performance model; if the acceleration performance model is not set to calculate fuel flow, then fuel flow will not be calculated for this performance model, either. |
| Scale Fuel Flow by Non Std Density | Select to scale the fuel flow based on the aircraft's actual altitude. If this option is disabled, the fuel flow will be calculated at the Default Cruise Altitude (if available), or at sea level. |
| Accel Fuel Flow | Defines the aircraft's fuel flow rate while accelerating during takeoff. |
| Departure Fuel Flow | Defines the aircraft's fuel flow rate at departure speed. |
