Takeoff Acceleration Monitoring System
A Takeoff Acceleration Monitoring System automates the pilot monitoring of Distance to Go (DTG), "to sense, in a timely fashion the development of insufficient acceleration, which would extend the takeoff roll, perhaps precipitously".[1]
Over the years, recommendations have been made to develop a Take Off Performance Management System. The NLR and NASA developed TOPMS prototypes. However, these systems were never operationally introduced.
EASA established two working groups (WGs) to address this issue. WG-88 focussed on the specification and standardization of On-Board Weight and Balance Systems (OBWBS), an ongoing effort for what is considered to be a feasible option. WG-94 focussed on standards and operational conditions for a TOPMS; it WG-94 was concluded early 2017, considering that TOPMS was not feasible, in particular due to limitations in technology and data availability.
A version suitable for detecting gross errors, which can be integrated in existing avionics, has been proposed By NLR, KLM, and Marti Air.
