PERFORMANCE
5.1 GENERAL
Performance data charts on the following pages are presented to facilitate the planning of
flights in detail and with reasonable accuracy under various conditions. The data in the charts
have been computed from actual flight tests with the aircraft and engine in good condition and
using average piloting techniques.
It should be noted that the performance information presented in the range and endurance
charts allow for 45 minutes reserve fuel at specified speeds. Some indeterminate variables
such as engine and propeller, air turbulence and others may account for variations as high as
10% or more in range and endurance. Therefore, it is important to utilize all available
information to estimate the fuel required for the particular flight.
5.1.1 Performance Charts
Performance data are presented in tabular or graphical form to illustrate the effect of different
variables. Sufficiently detailed information are provided in the tables so that conservative
values can be selected and used to determine the particular performance figure with
reasonable accuracy.
All speeds in this chapter are Indicated Air Speeds (IAS) except otherwise stated. The
performance figures below are given under following conditions.
1. Maximum allowed weight 950 kg (2095 lbs) except otherwise stated
2. Take-off and landing on concrete surface.
3. No wind.
4. Standard atmospheric condition.
5.1.2 Definitions of Terms
For definition of terms, abbreviations and symbols refer to section 1, General.
