and analytically expanded for the various parameters of weight, altitude,
temperature, etc.
The performance charts are unfactored and do not make any allowance
for varying degrees of pilot proficiency or mechanical deterioration of the
aircraft. This performance, however, can be duplicated by following the
stated procedure!) in a properly maintained airplane.
Effects of conditions not considered on the charts must
be
evaluated by
the pilot, such as the effect of soft or grass runway surface on takeoff and
landing performance, or the effect of winds aloft on cruise and range
performance. Endurance can be grossly affected by improper leaning
procedures, and inflight fuel flow and quantity checks are recommended.
