5.5 FLIGHT PLANNING
(c) Climb
The next step in the flightplan is to determine the necessary
climb segment components.
The desired cruise pressure altitudeand corresponding cruise
outside air temperature values are the firstvariables to be considered
considered in determining climb components
Distance to Climb graph (Figure 5-21). After the fuel, time and distance
for the cruise pressure altitude and outside air temperature
distance
values have been established, apply the existing conditions at the
departure fieldto the graph (Figure 5-21). Subtract the values obtained
obtained f rom
those for the cruise pressure altitude.
The
remaining
components
field pressure altitude and temperature.
The following values were determined from the above instructions
in the flight planning example:
instructions
(1) Cruise Pressure Altitude
(2) Cruise OAT
(3) Fuel to Climb (4 gal. minus 1.0 gal.)
(4) rrme to Climb (10 mm.
(5) Distance to Climb (17 naut.miles
minus 6 naut. miles)
Cd) Descent
The descent data will be determined prior to the cruise data to
the descent distance for establishing the total cruise
provide
distance.
Utilizing the cruise pressure altitudeand OAT,
basic fuel, time, and distancefor descent (Figure 5-35). These figures
must be adjusted for the field pressure altitudeand temperature at
the destination airport. To find the necessary adjustment values,
use the existing pressure altitudeand temperature conditions at the
destination airport as variables to find the fuel, time and distance
