takeoff_performance
Calculate takeoff field length and V-speeds based on aircraft weight, altitude, temperature, wind, and runway conditions for flight planning.
Instructions
Calculate takeoff field length and V-speeds.
Uses simplified performance equations for educational purposes.
Args: weight_kg: Takeoff weight in kg pressure_altitude_ft: Airport pressure altitude in feet temperature_c: Outside air temperature in Celsius wind_kts: Headwind (+) or tailwind (-) in knots runway_slope_pct: Runway slope in percent (+ uphill) runway_condition: "dry", "wet", or "contaminated" thrust_to_weight: Thrust-to-weight ratio cl_max_takeoff: Maximum lift coefficient in takeoff config wing_area_m2: Wing reference area in m² cd0: Zero-lift drag coefficient oswald_e: Oswald efficiency factor aspect_ratio: Wing aspect ratio
Returns: Formatted string with takeoff performance calculations including V-speeds, ground roll, air distance to 35 ft, and factored distances.
Raises: No exceptions are raised directly; errors are returned as formatted strings.
