Under Part 135, the landing performance requirement has exceptions depending on aircraft type and operation.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

Landing performance under Part 135 is about ensuring there is enough runway and the right conditions for a safe landing based on the aircraft’s performance data. Because different aircraft types have different braking, deceleration, and handling characteristics, and because operations can vary (weight, weather, runway surface, and other factors), the rules allow exceptions. FAA-approved performance data specific to the aircraft type and to the particular operation may be used, rather than applying a single, universal standard for all aircraft and operations. That flexibility means you can have safe landings even when conditions or aircraft capabilities differ, which is why this statement is true.
