PERFORMANCE
SAMPLE PROBLEM

FUEL REQUIRED

The total fuel requirement for the flight may be estimated using the
performance information in the Time, Fuel, and Distance to Climb chart,
Cruise Performance chart, and Time, Fuel, and Distance to Descend
chart or in the Fuel and Time Required (Maximum Cruise Power) chart
and Fuel and Time Required (Maximum Range Power) chart. The
longer detailed method will be used for this sample problem, but the
use of Fuel and Time Required (Maximum Cruise Power) or Fuel and
Time Required (Maximum Range Power) charts will provide the desired
information for most flight planning purposes.
START UP, TAXI AND TAKEOFF
The fuel required for a standard start up, taxi and takeoff is
approximately 35 pounds. Additional fuel will be required for extended
taxi and hold times and must be accounted for during preflight planning.
CLIMB
For this sample problem, the Time, Fuel, And Distance To Climb -
Maximum Rate Climb chart may be used to determined the time, fuel
and distance required for a maximum rate of climb for a weight of 8807
pounds and a temperature 20°C above standard. The difference
between the values shown in the table for 4000 feet and 12,000 feet
result in the following:
