The take-off run of the TВС-2МС during take-off is about 100 meters, the landing run distance is from 120 to 130 meters. The rate of climb of the aircraft when climbing to a height of three thousand meters is 7 minutes.

Landings were performed on a snowy runway with a low coefficient of friction, but the brakes in combination with the engine reverse provide a stable stop on the runway after landing within the above distance.
