Questions and Answers
Under what condition is the elevation buffer not applied in the Boeing OPT tool?
Under what condition is the elevation buffer not applied in the Boeing OPT tool?
- When the airport elevation is above 3000 feet. (correct)
- When slush is present on the runway.
- When the runway is wet or contaminated.
- When performing a Reduced Thrust Takeoff (RTO).
How does the Boeing OPT tool handle runway conditions that are wet or contaminated?
How does the Boeing OPT tool handle runway conditions that are wet or contaminated?
- It applies a headwind correction factor to the takeoff calculations.
- It assumes all available engine thrust is used. (correct)
- It increases the assumed flare time for landing distance calculations.
- It reduces the available thrust to account for decreased friction.
What is the procedure for entering wind information when using the Boeing OPT?
What is the procedure for entering wind information when using the Boeing OPT?
- Wind information is optional and only needed for contaminated runways.
- Only the wind direction needs to be entered; the speed is calculated automatically.
- Wind information should always be entered into the tool. (correct)
- The OPT calculates wind effect automatically; manual entry is not required.

Wet/Contaminated Runway Thrust
Wet/Contaminated Runway Thrust
For wet or contaminated runways, RTOW calculations assume all available thrust is used.
RTO Thrust Calculation
RTO Thrust Calculation
RTO performance is calculated based on maximum manual thrust.
ATM Buffers
ATM Buffers
ATM provides a buffer of ±400 kg for takeoff weight and -1 hPa (0.03 in) for pressure.
