GO-AROUND.
Maximum EPR values are depicted in figure 2-3 for
go-around. The maximum EPR values based on runway
OAT and pressure altitude are valid for approach
airspeeds. Go-around EPR is non-static TRT. Thrust
factors for take-off must be based on take-off EPR.
Thrust factor for landing and emergency return must
be based on go-around EPR.

RUNWAY SURFACE.
The condition of the runway surface will be reported
as a Runway Condition Reading (RCR). The RCR is
a measure of the coefficient of friction between the
tire and the runway surface. All charts involving
stopping distance are based on dry concrete or asphalt
friction coefficients corresponding to an RCR of 23.
Slippery runway surfaces will increase stopping
distances.
When no RCR is available, use the following:

inches of dry snow on the runway.
TO 1C-141B-1-1
TAKE-OFF PLANNING.
Do not use reverse thrust for normal take-off planning.
Use only for max effort take-offs. The 6 brakes portion
of the charts will be used if only 7 or 6 brakes are
available for take-off.
To facilitate take-off planning, an outline summarizing
the procedure to be followed has been included in TAKEOFF PLANNING GUIDE. This outline is to be considered
as an aid to take-off planning so that all factors will be
considered in the correct order, but is not intended as a
substitute for knowledge of the subject. The outline is
entered at the top with the given take-off conditions. The
planning then proceeds along a path through the applicable
branches in either a horizontal or descending manner until
a solution is reached at the bottom of the outline.
REDUCED THRUST TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE.
A Reduced Thrust Take-off should be made when
maximum aircraft capability is not required. The
selected EPR must satisfy the following conditions:
1. The critical field length shall not exceed the
runway length available.
NOTE
Do not apply headwinds when planning a
Reduced Thrust Take-off. Corrections for
tailwinds and gusts shall be applied.

Find:
1. Maximum brake release gross weight
Solution:
1. Use chart on figure 3-11 and read maximum

CRITICAL ENGINE FAILURE SPEED (V CEF )
Critical engine failure speed is that speed to which the
aircraft can be accelerated, lose an engine, and then
continue the take-off or stop in the computed critical
field length. V CEF is used in Take-Off Planning
Computations when "GO" speed is VB(MAX) or 147 KCAS.
3-8
TO 1C-141B-1-1
Find:
1. Speed at 1,500 feet prior to take-off.
Solution:
1. Enter chart on figure 3-35 with chart rotation
speed (124 KCAS) and zero wind ground roll (4,500
feet) to establish a normal acceleration line. Re-enter
chart at 3,000 feet to normal acceleration line, and
read CAS = 103.5 knots.
STABILIZER TRIM SETTING.
The correct setting can be obtained from figure 3-36
using brake release gross weight and aircraft CG.
This setting produces a trim condition at V M C O .
Stabilizer trim settings do not require adjustment for
increased V ROT due to gust.
EMERGENCY RETURN
To be prepared for an emergency landing immediately
after take-off, the emergency return portion of the
PERFORMANCE DATA WORK-SHEET should be
completed based on brake release gross weight.

Example Problem 1:
Given:
(1) DER Crossing Height Restriction = 16 Feet
(From the SID).
(2) RA = 8,000 Feet (From performance data
worksheet).
(3) CFL = 6,600 Feet (From performance data
worksheet).
Find:
(1) The height of aircraft at the end of the runway
(DER Height).
Solution:
NOTE
Find:
(1) DER Height.
(2) If the aircraft is above the screen height
restriction.
3-11
TO 1C-141B-1-1
Example:
Solution:
(1) DER Height is = 42 feet
(9,000 - 7,300 = 1,700) 1,700 x 2.5% = 42.5
(round down - use 42 feet)
(2) The aircraft is NOT above the screen height
restriction.
42 feet is not 50 feet
In example 2, since the aircraft will only be 42 feet
in the air when it reaches the DER, it will not meet
the required DER Screen Height of 50 feet. The aircraft
therefore does not meet the published DER Screen
Height restriction on three engines. The aircrafts gross
weight, power settings, runway selection or
atmospheric conditions must change to enable a takeoff that meets the restrictions.
NOTE
If the RA exceeds the aircrafts CFL by 1,400
feet or more, the aircraft will cross the DER
on three engines at or above a 35 foot screen
height restriction for a 2.5% climb gradient:
Gross Weight Limited by DER Screen Height. In case
where the aircaft does not meet the published DER
Screen Height restriction on three engines, use the
following procedure to determine a gross weight to
meet the DER Screen Height restriction.
To determine a GW (Screen Height) we must first
determine the CFL required to meet the DER Screen
Height restriction. Divide the DER Screen Height by
the minimum climb gradient of 2.5%. This will be
the distance required to make a 2.5% climb gradient.

WARNING
Do not exceed 15 degrees bank angle with flaps
at TAKE-OFF/AP-PROACH setting when
climbing at minimum climbout speed
determined from figure 3-37.
FLAP RETRACTION SCHEDULE.
The minimum flap retraction airspeed is computed from
figure 3-37. For two-engine flap retraction speed, refer
to figure 3-30. Flap retraction speed for two-engine
operation will never be below 1.15 stall (clean) or twoengine V MCA , whichever is greater.
WARNING
At extreme high gross weights and pressure
altitudes, the flap retraction speed may exceed
the flap limit speed. If this condition exists,
flap retraction will be staged so as to prevent
exceeding the flap limit speed while maintaining
an adequate margin (1.15 Vs) above stall speed.
CLIMBOUT PLANNING.
The climbout flight path of the aircraft is governed by
the gross weight, flap setting, number of engines
operating, temperature, altitude, and airspeed. Climbout
planning will always consider the loss of an engine at
the most critical point during the take-off for obstacle
clearance and minimum climb capability.
WARNING
The flaps may be retracted at minimum flap retract
speed, provided angle of bank does not exceed
10 degrees. If an increase in bank angle is required
(not to exceed 30 degrees), airspeed shall be
increased to a minimum of 20 knots above flap
retract speed prior to initiation of flap retraction.
CLIMBOUT CAPABILITY-NO OBSTACLE.
Where obstacles pose no problem to the climbout, the
take-off weight will not exceed a weight which will allow
a minimum climb gradient of 2.5 percent with three
engines operating, gear up, flaps at Take-off/Approach,
airspeed at charted minimum climb speed, and out of
ground effect (figure 3-15).
Climb Gradient.
Climb gradient in percent is a method of determining
a climb capability under a given set of conditions.
The method for obtaining the height reached for
horizontal distance covered is determined by
multiplying the gradient times the horizontal distance
traveled in feet from lift-off and dividing by 100.
Height =

The obtained D height has to be added to the vertical

NOTE
1. If anti-skid brakes are inoperative: To find CFL, add
2,000 feet to the uncorrected CFL before going through correction grids. To find gross weight
for runway available, substract 2,000 feet from the uncorrected CFL after going through the
correction grids.
2. Deceleration conditions: Flaps 75 percent, spoilers deployed, 3 engines idle, 1 engine
windmilling, maximum anti-skid braking.
3. Always use calculated tailwind. Use calculated headwind for maximum effort take-off only.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS.
CLIMB SPEED.
Climb speed is the recommended speed schedule upon
which the performance in this Part is based. Climb
speed schedules for the respective number of engines
operating are as follows:
Four engines: 250 KCAS below 10,000 feet, 280
KCAS to 27,000 feet and Mach 0.70 above that
altitude.
Three engines: 250 KCAS below 10,000 feet, 260
KCAS to 26,800 feet and Mach 0.65 above that
altitude.
AIRSPEED.
The speed at which maximum rate of climb is obtained
will vary with altitude due to the variation of aircraft
drag and engine thrust. However, it is felt that a climb
procedure during which airspeed is constantly
changing is impractical. Therefore, the recommended
climb speed presented in this Part was selected as the
best single calibrated airspeed at low altitudes and
best single Mach number at high altitudes for the
overall climb operation. If the results shown in the
various climb plots are to be achieved, the speed should
be maintained within 5 knots. When climbing at
the constant Mach number condition, the resulting
rate of climb is near maximum. Speeds should be
maintained within 0.01 Mach number.

RANGE CONTROL.
ALTITUDE.
Normally planned flight above an altitude of 41,000
feet is not recommended. When necessary (i.e., weather
avoidance, maximum ferry range), operation above
41,000 feet is permissible.
NOTE
Do not exceed the 300 foot/minute cruise
ceiling.
CRUISE CLIMB.
The C-141s maximum range is obtained by flying a
cruise climb profile. A cruise climb flight profile is a
flight condition that allows the aircraft to gain altitude
as its weight decreases due to the consumption of
fuel. Altitude and airspeed will vary continuously
throughout the flight (see figure 5-1). A cruise climb
flight profile provides the maximum value of nautical
miles traveled for each pound of fuel used and is
also referred to as flying 99% maximum range. Flying
a cruise climb profile is not common due to the
frequent altitude and speed changes required and
conflicts with ATC controlled airspace. The cruise
climb altitude for four-engine operation is
approximately 1,500 feet below the 300 FPM cruise
ceiling. Cruise climb information is derived from the
Range Summary charts.
Three/Two-Engine Cruise Climb.
Three-engine cruise climb is based on airspeeds and
altitudes that give 99% of maximum possible range.
The cruise speed and altitude are limited by 300 feet/
minute cruise ceiling at NRT power for standard day
and greater temperatures. Less than NRT power will
be required for the cruise climb altitude and speed
when temperatures are less than standard day.
Two-engine cruise climb profile is similar to the
three-engine profile. Both the three and two-engine range
summary charts assume the most critical engine out
configurations. An outboard engine loss is assumed for
three-engine conditions and the loss of two engines on
one side is assumed for the two-engine condition. Less
critical engine losses will yield slightly longer ranges.

DESCRIPTION OF CHARTS.
CRUISE CLIMB.
Two methods of determining a cruise climb flight
profile are provided. The first method describes
climbing to a normal level off altitude and then
establishing a cruise climb profile later in the flight.
The second method describes climbing after take-off
straight into a cruise climb profile.
The following conditions apply to both examples:
152.0 = Operating Weight
60.0 = Cargo Weight
113.0 = Fuel
+5.0 = Temp Deviation
35.0 = Flight Level
55.0 = Fuel Required Overhead

TO 1C-141B-1-1
NOTE
Continuous computations and adjustments must
be made to altitude, speed and EPR as the
aircrafts weight and atmospheric conditions
change to maintain the cruise climb profile.
Cruise Climb Flight Profile Method 2.
The initial climb (or a subsequent climb to establish a
cruise climb profile) is made using the normal climb
speed schedule and with NRT power set. However, the
climb profile is modified toward the end to intercept
the cruise climb altitude and transition to the cruise
climb profile approximately 1,500 feet below the 300
foot/minute cruise ceiling altitude. To do this, the
following computations must be made:
1. Determine End Climb Weight from figure 4-6 by
entering with brake release GW and follow the burn
line to the cruise climb altitude line. Apply temp
deviation to find fuel used in the climb.

EXAMPLE:

6. Divide the fuel for the period of 45,000 lbs. by
the average fuel flow of 13,300 to determine the time
to consume 45,000 lbs. of fuel.
EXAMPLE:
45,000 13,300 = 3.38 hours or 3 hrs and 23
min.
7. As a side note, the TAS computed in example 4
can be multiplied by the time in example 6 to determine
a range.

DRIFTDOWN.
Driftdown is a forced descent caused by the loss of
power on one or more engines. Descent will be necessary
when cruising above the cruise ceiling altitude based
upon the condition of the aircraft after the engine
failure. If this condition should arise, the following
procedure should be followed:
1. Determine the proper altitude for the direction
of flight or the closest cruise altitude that ATC will
allow not to exceed the three or two-engine cruise
climb altitude based upon the number of engines
operating.
2. Begin descent and set NRT. Driftdown will be
accomplished using the cruise KCAS being flown prior

DESCRIPTION OF CHARTS.
MAXIMUM ENDURANCE.
Values of maximum endurance with corresponding
altitudes and airspeeds may be obtained from the
maximum endurance lines on figures 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4.
For any particular gross weight there is a particular
altitude at which endurance is maximum. As weight
decreases, the optimum altitude increases resulting
in the climbing flight path for maximum endurance.
A study of endurance curves for four-, three-, and
two-engine configurations, figures 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4,
indicates only small increases in fuel flow for several
thousand feet on either side of the fuel flow minimum
points. It is, therefore, possible to approximate
maximum endurance time very closely by flying
constant altitude for up to 40,000 pound changes in
gross weight. This altitude should approximate the
average optimum for the expected gross weight change.
NOTE
TO 1C-141B-1-1
Solution:
1. Minimum fuel expended during endurance.
Entering the four-engine endurance chart, figure 6-2,
at 31,000 feet, a gross weight of 220,000 pounds,
and a temperature of -36.4C (standard temperature
of 31,000 feet is -46.4C, thus making the
temperature of -36.4C, 10C above standard) and
read 8,600 lb fuel/hour. For the time of 30 minutes
or 1/2 hour, the first approximation is made.
8600 lb fuel x 1/2 hour = 4300 lb fuel used
hour
The second approximation of the average gross
weight for this endurance schedule would then
be
220,000 - 4300

217,850 pounds

APPROACH.
APPROACH PATTERN.
A typical approach pattern is discussed in Section II,
TO 1C-141B-1/1C-141C-1. Speeds in the pattern are
determined from the approach speed, derived from figure
8-8, for the selected flap configuration for landing.
APPROACH AND LANDING SPEEDS.
CAUTION
Tire limit speed must not be exceeded during
landing.

TWO-ENGINE DATA.
OBSTACLE CLEARANCE.
Loading Classification Number (LCN).
The distance from 50 feet to touchdown is based
on a 2.5 degree glide slope and is provided by
figure 8-11.
RUNWAY STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS.
There are a number of methods for determining whether
a given runway can support the C-141 aircraft at its
operating/landing gross weights. Limitations are
frequently given in the Enroute Supplement and on
the airport diagram as a maximum gross weight for
single wheel (S), tandem (T), and twin-tandem (TT),
8-4
TO 1C-141B-1-1
NOTE
Prior permission from the airport controlling
authority is required when the ACN of the
aircraft is, or will exceed the published PCN
or tire pressure exceeds the published limits.
For runways that have been evaluated under the
ACN/PCN system, the Enroute Supplement will show
the PCN as a five-part code (e.g. PCN 30 F/B/W/T).
Details of the coded format are as follows:
1. The PCN Number. The reported PCN (PCN 30)
indicates that an aircraft with an ACN equal to or less
than the PCN can operate on the pavement subject to
any limitations imposed by tire pressure.
2. The type of pavement:
R - Rigid
F - Flexible
8-5
TO 1C-141B-1-1
Problem 2:
GIVEN:
LANDING.
CROSSWIND LANDING.
Figure 8-5 provides a chart for resolving the wind
into its components, and is used to determine the
maximum permissible crosswind component for
landing. At gross weights below 212,000 pounds, the
Caution Zone and Not Recommended boundaries
are based on a constant steady sideslip capability.
Increasing approach speed for gusts or using reduced
flaps settings does not increase the maximum allowable
crosswind component.
Figure 8-6 presents the maximum crosswind to which
the C-141 can be subjected on the ground and still
remain under directional control.
WARNING
If runway is wet or icy, landing shall not be
made in the Caution Zone of figure 8-5
nor exceed Maximum Crosswind For
Landing of figure 8-6. Landing in the Not
Recommended zone shall not be attempted.
LANDING DISTANCE/LANDING GROUND ROLL.
The landing distance for the landing configuration
is presented in figure 8-11. This distance is based on

NOTE
1. Use the lower touchdown speed allowed after consideration of both aircraft weight and fuel weight.
2. Adherence to normal landing procedures will preclude exceeding limit sink speeds at any gross
weight or fuel loading. It should be understood, however, that the life of the landing gear and
parts of the airframe are influenced by a percentage of available strength used during landing. For
this reason landing at high gross weights and/or high fuel weights should not be planned as a routine
procedure.
3. The accelerometer is designed to monitor in-flight parameters only and is not to be used for hard
landing determinations.

Weight = 200,000 pounds
NOTE
Use aircraft predrop gross weight for all airdrop
computations.
2. (FLAP POSITION) = 75 percent.
9-2
TO 1C-141B-1-1
NOTE
For altitudes above 16,000 feet, use figure 9-15.
7. (V SHO (30 Bank)) = 116 KCAS (C-141B), 131
KCAS (C-141C).
9-3
TO 1C-141B-1-1
NOTE
When aircraft gross weight and drop altitude
requirements will not permit using a speed
with a 30 percent stall margin, a 25 percent
margin above stall may be used. Figure 9-8
provides a quick reference for determining a
maximum gross weight at drop time for 1.3Vs/
1.25Vs drop speeds at various drop altitudes.
Always be on or to the left of the pressure altitude
lines. In some cases, the airspeed will have to be
increased to offset heavy gross weights and/or high
pressure altitudes, when you fall to the right of the
pressure altitude lines of figure 9-9. In this example
problem, the airspeed will have to be increased to
offset the heavy gross weight. Enter figure 9-10 with
150 KCAS and then over to the pre-drop gross weight
line. Parallel the gross weight line to the left and
intersect the drop pressure altitude line. Read the new
airspeed (157), and flap position (55%).
NOTE
If the planned airspeed is changed, the pilot
and navigator must be notified.
3. Flap position = 55%
From figure 9-10, using airspeed and aircraft pre-drop
GW.
4. MRT = 1.78
From figure 9-3, using drop altitude temperature (20 C)
and drop altitude (4,000 feet PA) = 1.785. Use 1.78.
5. Determine a thrust factor using figure 9-4. Enter
chart with MRT setting and drop pressure
altitude = 15.1
6. VMFR = 171 KCAS
From figure 9-12, using thrust factor (15.1), and
aircraft pre-drop GW (290.0). For flap settings less
than 25%, use the Minimum Climbout Speed-Zero
Flap chart (figure 9-14).
7. VMS = 172
From figure 9-16, using drop altitude and aircraft
pre-drop GW. Determine Mach, enter sheet 2 with
Mach and drop altitude. Read KCAS for VMS.
8. VSHO (30 bank) = 136 KCAS (C-141B), 152
KCAS (C-141C)
9-4
TO 1C-141B-1-1
From figure 9-16 using drop altitude and aircraft predrop GW. Determine mach, enter sheet 2 with mach
and drop altitude. Read KCAS for V MS .
7. VSHO (30 bank) = 108 KCAS (C-141B), 119 KCAS
(C-141C)
From figure 9-17 (C-141B) or figure 9-18 (C-141C),

CRUISE SPEED.
DESCRIPTION OF CHARTS.
ARRANGEMENT.
CRUISE.
Other than the factors related to the abnormal configuration,
the same factors affecting a normal configuration cruise
also affect an abnormal configuration cruise.
CRUISE ALTITUDE.
FLAPS 75 PERCENT.
Cruise altitudes were evaluated at the altitude for an
optimum specific range at a cruise speed for a given
weight, but never higher than the 300 foot per minute
cruise ceiling. At these altitudes cruise speed equals
both the limiting Mach number for the abnormal
configuration and the clean, zero flap best endurance
speed. Consequently (with the exception of the approach
flap configuration) there is no margin for error in
airspeed control. At these altitudes it is not safe to fly
any slower, while flying faster may damage the aircraft.
When range is not critical, an appreciable improvement
in stall margin can be realized by flying 4,000 to 6,000
feet lower than the recommended cruise climb altitude
even flying 0.03 Mach less than the limiting Mach
number. Flying 0.52 Mach (not to exceed 235 KCAS)
for gear down, 0.45 Mach (not to exceed 200 KCAS)
for ramp down will result in a 3 to 5 percent reduction
in air nautical mile per 1,000 pounds of fuel at 4,000
to 6,000 feet lower than cruise climb altitude but will
approximately double the margin over 30 degrees bank
Vstall and reduce the risk of overspeeding the aircraft.
The range loss with approach flaps by flying 0.45 Mach
4,000 to 6,000 feet lower is similar (3-5 percent).
NOTE
CARGO RAMP OPEN.
Prior to reaching the recommended cruise
altitude, the engineer will advise the pilot of
stall speed at 0 and 30 degrees of bank angle.
