AMC 25.145(e) Longitudinal control

ED Decision 2003/2/RM

If gates are provided, CS 25.145(e) requires the first gate from the maximum landing position to be located at a position corresponding to a go-around configuration. If there are multiple go-around configurations, the following criteria should be considered when selecting the location of the gate:

a.       The expected relative frequency of use of the available go-around configurations.

b.      The effects of selecting the incorrect high-lift device control position.

c.       The potential for the pilot to select the incorrect control position, considering the likely situations for use of the different go-around positions.

d.      The extent to which the gate(s) aid the pilot in quickly and accurately selecting the correct position of the high-lift devices.
