m€asured Flighl Test Data corrected to LC.A-O. siandard day condirions
and analytically expanded for the various parameters of weighl, altitude.
The performance charts are unfactor€d and do no! make anyalLowance
for varying degrees of pilot f,roficiency or mechanical deteriorarion of lhe
aircrafi. This perforrnanc€, however, can be duplicated by following the
stated procedures in a properly maintained airplane.
Effects ofconditions nor consid€red on rhe chans must beevaluared by
the pilot. .uch a. the ellecr of sofr or gras( run$ay surface on rdleott .rnä
landing performance, or the effect of winds aloft on cruise and range per-
formance. Endurance can be grossly affecred by improper leaning pro-
cedures, and inflight fuel Ilow and quanlity checks are recommended.
