Factors Affecting Landing Distance
Page 7
Introduction
To ensure an optimum use of braking devices, the following aspects must be understood:
.
Design and operation of each braking device (i.e., ground spoilers, brakes and thrust reversers);
.
Distribution of stopping forces during landing roll;
.
Type of braking required to achieve a desired stopping distance;
.
Factors affecting the optimum use of braking devices; and,
.
Applicable operational guidelines.
Statistical Data
Runway excursions and overruns account for 20 % of all approach-and-landing serious incidents and accidents.
Slowed or delayed braking action was a causal factor in 45 % of these events.
Landing overruns represent 80 % of all observed overrun events (i.e., including runway overruns following a rejected takeoff).
The use of braking devices is only one among several causal factors resulting in a runway excursion or overrun.
Braking Devices Overview
The following braking devices are used to decelerate the aircraft and bring it to a complete stop:
.
Ground spoilers;
.
Wheel brakes (including anti-skid and autobrake systems); and,
.
Thrust reverser system.
Ground spoilers:
Ground spoilers deploy automatically upon main landing gear touchdown (if armed) or upon selection of the thrust reversers.
Ground spoilers provide two distinct aerodynamic effects, as illustrated by Figure 1 :
.
Increased aerodynamic drag, which contributes to aircraft deceleration;
.
Lift dumping, which increases the load on the wheels and increases the wheel-brakes efficiency.

.
Tire condition and pressure (i.e., friction surface);
.
The load applied on the wheel (i.e., the friction force depends on the load applied on the wheel and on the runway braking coefficient);
.
The number of operative brakes ( MEL status, as applicable).
Anti-skid systems are designed to maintain the wheel skidding factor (also called the slip ratio) close to the point providing the maximum friction force, approximately 10 % on a scale going from 0 % (free rolling) to 100 % (locked wheel), as illustrated by Figure 2.
