How much runway is left before a plane takes off?

when a plane is leaving how far a long the run way does it actually lift off. is there a required amount that the plane has to get off the ground incase something happens?How much runway is left before a plane takes off?depends...

What the weight of the aircraft with passangers/cargo and fuel,

Wind speed lingth of run way and type of aircraft and the stall speed of tha aircraft.How much runway is left before a plane takes off?
Hopefully: ALOT! Quick answer is alot. But each airplane takes it's own amount. AND, if two identical aircraft were placed side by side but they loaded differently, one plane would take more than the other.



There are quite a few ways to explain this, but since I just got a "Best Answer" notification on a question that I wanted to get technical about, but I didn't want to leave the person asking more questions than I provided (remember Shakespeare: Brevity is the soul of wit!)



I will leave this question to be answered by any colleagues who wish to do so. Unfortunately, today I am on a very hectic schedule, and believe that there are other folks out there who can do the job. Have fun, I hope you learn something.



Sponsor of Operation Light's OnHow much runway is left before a plane takes off?plezergu is right... The pilots must consider the airplanes characteristics to determine if they can get up... however, when I start down the runway, if I am the flying pilot, I have one hand on the yoke and another on the throttle until my co-pilot calls out V1, which means "takeoff decision speed"... at that point, I make the judgement, do I take off or do I abort, typically, the answer is continue with takeoff and I take the hand that was on the throttle and put it on the yoke as well... basically, even if an engine fails, the takeoff must continue because there will not be enough runway to stop... My hands don't go back to the throttle until the gear is retracted and we have begun the climb-out...How much runway is left before a plane takes off?
Well it really depends on what type of aircraft, how heavy they are, and how long the runway is.



Small aircraft usually only need like 1,000 to 2,000 feet of ground roll before they rotate. so on a ten thousand foot runway your looking at like a mile and a half left.



In contrast an airliner (and it depends on which one) might need five, six, seven, or more thousand feet for the ground roll.How much runway is left before a plane takes off?Large aircraft sometimes use 'flexible thrust' settings, which means the take off power is set at less than maximum when runway length permits it. So the actual runway length used may be artificially long. The critical distance is to V1, which is the speed at which an aircraft should be able to safely complete a take off even if one engine fails.
Well, it is not required the way you asked the question. There are several requirements which must be met. An airplane has to have a set of limitations such as charts which depicted take off distance at different weight configurations. There are also charts which depict performance based upon elevation, temperature, and barometric pressure. It is the pilot's responsibility to consider EVERYTHING that will affect his/her flight; weather, loading of the plane, required take-off distance, runway surface, temperature, barometric pressure, wind, and the list goes on. It is NOT hard to do, and most of the time a proposed flight would have no problem complying with all those requirements. But the pilot has to be alert to anything that might affect the flight.

Some good pilots check to make sure that they know how far down the runway they can go and still be able to stop if they want to reject the take off. Most of my flying has been done in single engine planes, so if I have to abort the take off, I am pretty much stuck with whatever I have at the time. Some Multi-engine planes which have the luxury of continuing the flight even if an engine fails on take off. Of course, if they had not passed the point of no return, they would abort, but if they had they would continue and return to the airport and land.How much runway is left before a plane takes off?
around 40% if i'm not mistaken on the field length limited runways ( at max regulated takeoff weight ). basically for abort takeoff purposes. not a nice feeling to see red lights coming to you....
There are many varibles involved for you to understand the answer to your question. I will attempt to answer for you . An airplane is a living breathing physics laboratory. Any change made to an airplane in flight has a reaction. Some of the varibles that are involved are Wind speed ate the airport. Temperature at the airport sometimes called ambient temperature which means the temperature outside. Airplanes have different performance numbers that are unique to that particular plane. The main one these is "stall speed". The stall speed is the number in mph or knots per hour that the plain must be going or the wings for that particular airplane cannot create enough lift to keep it in the air or it will "stall" and stop flying which is something pilots want to avoid. Little planes like a Cessna 150 2 seat trainer plane can usually only go about 100 mph and stall at about half of that speed so lets say 50 mph. On hot days say 90 degrees the air is thinner " the air molecules are spread farther apart so it takes longer length of runway when any airplane wants to take off. Also humidity or moisture in the air affects the length of take off as wellas the altitude above sea level. I am told in the western state that in the heat of midday not much flying is done in small airplanes. Weight of the stuff in the plane has an effect. A cessna 150 flys much better with only one person "the pilot" in the plane. A passanger makes the total weight heavier which affects takeoff roll, getting up to the right speed quicker and finally climbing to a safe altitude. The length of the runway is really so that many different types of planes can use it.What the pilot of any plane wants to do on takeoff is to get to an altitude that if the motors stop then they can glide back to the airport safely. The safe altitude varies greatly. The cessna 150 would want to be say 1000 to 1500 feet if the motor stopped say a half mile from the airport. A 747 would want to be I'm guessing 4 miles up to glide a half a mile. i know tis is a little long but it is my attempt to explain some of the things that must be considered in an airplane taking off.How much runway is left before a plane takes off?
Nope



but it can change trakc and get on other runway



i think .5 to .6 miles are left when it takes off



R u planning for a trial error on a plane trip........lol
