18 x y Figure 18. X-Y origin for aircraft undershoots. length is adjusted for each type of aircraft according to MTOW and the EMAS bed length, according to the follow- ing steps: y 1. The maximum runway exit speed to hold the aircraft within the EMAS bed is calculated according to the Figure 19. Y origin for aircraft veer-offs. model presented below. The adjusted R2 for this model is 89%. For Table 5, the following are the parameters represented: v = 3.0057 - 6.8329 log (W ) + 31.1482 log ( S ) d = any given distance of interest; where: x = the longitudinal distance from the runway end; v = the maximum exit speed in m/s; P{d>x} = the probability the wreckage location exceeds dis- W = the maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft in kg; and tance x from the runway end; S = the EMAS bed length in meters. y = the transverse distance from the extended runway centerline (overruns and undershoots) or from the 2. The maximum runway exit speed estimated using the pre- runway border (veer-offs); and vious regression equation, along with the EMAS bed length P{d>y} = the probability the wreckage location exceeds dis- (SEMAS), is input in the following equation to calculate the tance y from the extended runway centerline (over- deceleration of the aircraft in the EMAS bed. runs and undershoots) or from the runway border v2 (veer-offs). aEMAS = 2S Figures 22­29 illustrate the models presented in Table 5. 3.
