5.1
Introduction
The following data was obtained in the original UK prototype. When
using the data for planning purposes, apply conservative safety factors.
5.2
Climb
Speed for best rate of climb is 58kn CAS [
climb speed (Vx) is 45kn CAS [
speed, always remember that should anything go wrong, more speed
gives you more time to sort your problems out. Although climb
performance may change between aircraft, the best climb speeds
should not vary significantly.
5.3
Glide
Speed for best glide angle is 52kn CAS [
ratio of around 9 to 1 may be expected. Flying a little slower at 43kn
CAS [
around 550FPM.
5.4
Cruise
Because microlight aircraft are very strongly affected by weight, engine
condition, propeller matching, wind and air temperature, it is very hard
to give any reliable information concerning the cruise performance of
the Nynja. The pilot is encouraged to plan conservatively until
sufficient experience is gained of the fuel consumption and cruising
speeds at the conditions in which the aircraft is normally flown.
