Performance
Although not required by regulations, information has been
presented to determine the take-off weight, field require-
ments and take-off flight path assuming an engine failure
occurs during the take-off procedure. The following illustrates
the use of these charts.
Enter the Accelerate-Go graph
at 1 SoC, SL press'jre altitude,
3350 pounds, and
10 knots headwind component:
Total Distance Over 50-ft Obstacle 4700
ft
Ground Roll. 940 ft
Enter the graph for Take-off Climb Gradient - One Engine
Inoperative at 15°C, SL pressure altitude, and 3350 pounds:
Climb Gradient 4.6%
A
4.6% climb gradient is 46 feet of vertical height per 1000
feet
of horizontal distance.
NOTE
The Take-off Climb Gradient
- One Engine I
I noperative graph assumes zero wind
conditions. Climbing into a headwind will result in
higher angles of climb, and hence, better
obstacle clearance capabilities.
