INTRODUCTION TO PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING
The graphs and tables in this section present performance information for flight planning at various
parameters of weight, power, altitude and temperature. Examples have been presented on all
performance graphs. In addition, the calculations for flight time, block speed and fuel required for a
proposed flight are detailed below. All examples and calculations utilize the following conditions:

At Amarillo:
Outside Air Temperature 25°C (77°F)
Field Elevation 3605 ft
Altimeter Setting 29.56 in. Hg
Wind 180° at 10 kts
Runway 21 Length 13,500 ft
To determine pressure altitude at origin and destination airports, add 100 feet to field elevation for each
.1 in. Hg below 29.92, and subtract 100 feet from field elevation for each .1 in. Hg above 29.92.
Pressure Altitude at DEN:
29.92 - 29.60 = .32 in. Hg
The pressure altitude at DEN is 320 feet above the field elevation.
5330 + 320 = 5650 ft
Pressure Altitude at AMA:
29.92 - 29.56 = .36 in. Hg
The pressure altitude at AMA is 360 feet above the field elevation.
3605 + 360 = 3965 ft
