5. Performance
The data is based on particular flight measurements undertaken with the aircraft of this type in good
service conditions and with application of average piloting technique. The performances stated below are
calculated at sea level at the international standard atmosphere (ISA). Variations in pilot technique can
cause significant differences as well as the other conditions such as runway slope, runway surface
condition, humidity, etc.
Use the following data for guidance but do not plan a take-off or landing when only 50 ft excess runway is
available or do not plan a cross country with only 2 gallons fuel planned when arriving at your destination.
Always be conservative when planning a flight and be ready for the unexpected – not forecasted winds,
atmospheric turbulence or sudden weather change at your destination, forcing you to divert to an airfield
60 NM away. Always plan a reasonable fuel reserve – 30 to 60 minutes seems to be sufficient time for
most flights, but this time should be increased even more when complicated weather conditions (strong
headwind or rain showers) are expected en route.
5.1 Take-off and landing distances
Take-off distance to 50 ft
Landing distance from 50 ft
Both take-off and landing distances are significantly increased by the following factors:
Tailwind
High airport elevation
High air temperature and or humidity
Uphill runway slope
Runway wet or covered with snow, dust or water
5.2 Rate of climb
5.3 Cruise speeds
Cruising speed at 75%................................................. 120 mph (Indicated)
(112 mph Calibrated)
Cruising speed at 60%................................................. 110 mph (Indicated)
(102 mph Calibrated)
