Landing Distance Calculation - Nested Equation Method is

Landing distance calc involves taking real altitude and temperature reading from a table and doing a 15 step weighted averaging process to come to a correct number to apply runway condition factors. the following is a equation developed my Meng Shang that sums up the process of extracting to correct average from the Aircraft's Specification Handbook AKA the Pilot's Operating Handbook.



example:

Comparison methods:

Program that can be downloaded to do your calcuation on PDA that just needs you to input the numbers.

The following excel progarm will calculate your landing distance with the input of Airfield altitude and temperature (obtained from prefligt breefing)
