Declared Distances

This video provides pilots and an overview of declared distances. It defines these distances and how they relate to the part 25 takeoff & landing requirements. It demonstrates the significance of declared distances in meeting runway and airport design standards and during the actual takeoff and landing operation. Finally, it cautions pilots against overreliance in FMS takeoff and landing performance computations where the stored runway information does not include a runway's declared distances.
