Clearway Distance Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Clearway Distance?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
CL=0.5(TOD-(1.15sLO))
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
CL=0.5(1900m-(1.15510m))
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
CL=0.5(1900-(1.15510))
LAST Step Evaluate
CL=656.75m

Clearway Distance Formula Elements

Variables
Clearway Distance
Clearway Distance is the difference between takeoff distance available (TODA) and takeoff run available (TORA).
Symbol: CL
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Takeoff Distance
Takeoff Distance is the distance from where the vehicle leaves the ground to until it reaches 50 ft (or 15 m).
Symbol: TOD
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Liftoff Distance
Liftoff Distance is the portion of the takeoff procedure during which the airplane is accelerated from a standstill to an airspeed that provides sufficient lift for it to become airborne.
Symbol: sLO
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Clearway Distance?

Clearway Distance evaluator uses Clearway Distance = 0.5*(Takeoff Distance-(1.15*Liftoff Distance)) to evaluate the Clearway Distance, The Clearway Distance is the difference between takeoff distance available (TODA) and takeoff run available (TORA). Clearways originate from the end of the takeoff run available. Clearway Distance is denoted by CL symbol.
