(19) Runway Surface Condition (RSC): RSC is the average depth covering the runway<br />

surface measured to 1/10 inch (1 inch is equivalent to a RSC <strong>of</strong> 10). The runway surface<br />

condition affects both the acceleration and stopping performance <strong>of</strong> the aircraft and must<br />

be accounted for when determining take<strong>of</strong>f and landing data. RSC types are listed below:<br />

• WR Wet runway, standing water<br />

• SLR Slush on runway<br />

• LSR Loose snow on runway<br />

• PSR Packed snow on runway<br />

• IR Ice on runway<br />

(20) Runway Length: Runway length is the paved surface length excluding any overrun.<br />

(1) Climb Speed: Normal climbs (2 engines) can be made using maximum continuous<br />

thrust. When Climbing at maximum continuous thrust, do not exceed 260 KIAS or .69<br />

Mach. EPR must be recalculated every 5000 feet to prevent the possibility <strong>of</strong><br />
