SECTION 1
GENERAL
POWER TERMINOLOGY
BHP Brake horsepower means the power del ivered at the pro-
peller shaft of an airplane engine.
Critical
Altitude
Maximum Nonnal
Operating Power
Maximum Power
For Takeoff And
Single Engine
Operation
The maximum al titude at which in standard temperature 'it
is possible to maintain a specified power.
The power developed in a standard atmosphere from sea
level to the critical altitude at the maximum RPM and
manifold pressure approved for use during all engines
climb conditions.
The power developed in a standard atmosphere from sea
level to the critical altitude at the maximum RPM and
manifold pressure approved for use during takeoff and
single engine operation.
I
RPM The revolutions per minute (RPM) as referred to the
rotational speed of the propeller shaft. Propeller RPM
shown on a tachometer.
AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY
~"
Accelerate-Go The distance required to accelerate an airplane to a
Distance specified speed and. assuming failure of an engine at
that speed after lift-off and with gear in transit,
continue takeoff on the remaining engine to a height of
50 feet.

Transition Speed
The di stance required to accelerate an airplane to a
specified speed and. assuming failure of an engine at
the instant that speed is attained. to bring the air-
plane to a stop.
An intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change of an
a i rp1ane
I
s attitude, an abnonna1 attitude, or abnonna1
acceleration, not necessary for nonnal flight.
A balked landing is an aborted landing (i.e., all
engines go-around in the landing configuration).
The minimum speed at which a transition to a bal ked
landing cl imb should be attempted from 50-foot obstacle
height.
Demonstrated
Crosswind
Velocity
The demonstrated crosswind velocity is the velocity of
the crosswind component for which adequate control of
the airplane during takeoff and landing was actually
demonstrated during certification tests. The value
shown is not considered to be limiting. This value is
not an aerodynamic limit for the airplane.
Maneuvering Fuel Maneuvering fuel is the usable fuel as shown in Section
2 for all airplane configurations. provided the maximum
side slip duration ;s not exceeded.
Maximum Effective The maximum amount of braking pressure that can be
