Thank you for your comments Pete. Certainly it could have been done with a "current" and "previous" scheme but in my first sketch I wanted to keep track of all variables for debugging and/or logging purposes. The error I get is that roughly at i =30 ( I don't remember the exact value), e starts to grow very quickly even if the aircraft is stopped and eventually saturates. I suspect it has something to do with arrays boundaries which are very tricky. Anyway I am afraid I have not time to do further research... Regards Jose

Hi there, I wrote a simple lua file to compute the length of the take off roll. It works, but if you have a look at the file I had to use an auxiliary array f to make the conversion to feet. f = 1.687*e It didn't work if I simply wrote e = 1.687*e I really can't understand why.... I would appreciate any comment. Regards Jose Ignaciotakeoff(1).lua
