SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE
5.1 GENERAL
SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE
All of the required (FAA regulations) and complementary performance
information is provided by this section.
Performance information associated with those optional systems and
equipment which require handbook supplements is provided by Section 9
(Supplements).
5.3 INTRODUCTION - PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING
The performance information presented in this section is based on
measured Flight Test Data corrected to 1.c.A.O. standard day conditions
and analytically expanded for the various parameters of weight, altitude,
tempemture, 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 procedures 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 in flight fuel flow and quantity checks are recommended.
REMEMBER! To get chart performance, follow the chart procedures.
The information provided by paragraph 5.5 (Flight
P~nning
Example)
outlines a detailed flight plan using the performance charts in this sectIOn.
Each chart includes its own example to show how it is used.
WARNING
Performance information derived by
extrapolation beyond the limits shown on the
charts should not be used for flight planning
purposes.
