INTRODUCTION

Performance data charts on the following pages are presented so that
you may know what to expect from the airplane under various
conditions, and also, to facilitate the planning of flights in detail and with
reasonable accuracy. The data in the charts has been computed from
actual flight tests using average piloting techniques and an airplane
and engine in good condition and equipped with a Hartzell propeller.
To make sure that performance in this section can
be duplicated, the airplane and engine must be
maintained in good condition. Pilot proficiency and
proper preflight planning using data necessary for
all flight phases is also required to assure expected
performance with ample margins of safety.
It should be noted that the performance information presented in the
range and endurance profile charts allows for 45 minutes reserve fuel
at the specified cruise power and altitude. Some indeterminate
variables such as engine and propeller condition, and air turbulence
may account for variations of 10% or more in range and endurance.
Therefore, it is important to utilize all available information to estimate
the fuel required for the particular flight.
Notes have been provided on various graphs and tables to
approximate performance with the INERTIAL SEPARATOR in BYPASS
and/or cabin heat on. The effect will vary, depending upon airspeed,
temperature, and altitude. At lower altitudes, where operation on the
torque limit is possible, the effect of the inertial separator will be less,
depending upon how much power can be recovered after the separator
vanes have been extended.
In some cases, performance charts in this section include data for
temperatures which are outside of the ISA Conversion and Operating
Temperature Limits chart. This data has been included to aid in
interpolation.

USE OF PERFORMANCE CHARTS

Performance data is presented in tabular or graphical form to illustrate
the effect of different variables. Sufficiently detailed information is
provided in the tables so that conservative values can be selected and
used to determine the particular performance figure with reasonable
accuracy.
