PERFORMANCE
5.1 GENERAL
All of the required (FAA regulations) and complementary performance information applicable
to the
Cherokee Turbo Arrow III 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 TO PERFORMANCE AND
FLIGHT PLANNING
The performance information presented
in this
section is based on measured Flight Test Data
corrected to I.C.A.O. standard day conditions and analytically expanded for
the
various parameters of
weight, altitude,
temperature, 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 inflight fuel
flow and quantity checks are
recommended.
REMEMBER! To get chart performance, follow the chart procedures.
The information provided by paragraph 5.5 (Flight Planning 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.
