Abstract:
This Thesis focuses on the role of virtual temperature during Take - off and Landing performance, any increase in temperature or altitude means a decrease in the aircraft's optimum performance, so both of high temperature and high elevation airports, an airplane requires more runway to take off. Its rate of climb will be less (during take - off), its approach will be faster (during landing). The increase in temperature leads to a marked increase in radius of turn (during take - off and landing) but a tiny decrease in obstacle angle (during take - off) and a small increase in flare height (during landing).The effect of virtual temperature of five Iraqi airports (Mosul, Erbil, Sulaimaniyha, Baghdad and Basra), and the data base for an extended period was from January 2008 until the month of February 2014. Information was selected for weather report for certain days of the summer season (May, June, July, August and September), where the maximum temperature recorded was 50 ° C for airports Basra and Baghdad, the maximum temperature recorded during the period studied at the Mosul airport,48 ° C at the Erbil airport 44 ° C and Sulaymaniyah airport 43 ° C . Certain days of the winter season (December, January, February) were selected where the minimum temperature recorded the lowest, lowest temperature recorded in Basra airport 6° C, Baghdad airport 2 ° C, Mosul - 1 ° C, Erbil - 2 ° C and Sulaymaniyah - 8° C. The effect of virtual temperature was calculated for five Iraqi airports from comparing the most requirements affect (radius of turn, Distance and stalling velocity) in winter/summer with typical requirement (measured at ISA), the comparing use of actual values and their average during a case study in every airport, icy aerodrome which is considered as an extreme type and calculate its effect in Baghdad and Basra airport. Simulation software program shows us Perfect take - off and landing which are usually preceded by a deliberate planning for approaching the most appropriate velocities. The simulation which was edited is named R.O.T.A.L. (Requirements of Take - off and Landing).This simulation used a set of covering equations programed in visual basic and other programs of medi
