Performance
The estimated landing weight is determined by subtracting
the
fuel
required for the flight from the ramp weight:
Assumed ramp weight
= 3916 Ibs
Estimated fuel from DEN to AMA
= 39.8 gal (239 Ibs)
Estimated landing weight
= 3916 - 239 = 3677 Ibs
Examples have been provided on the performance graphs.
The above conditions have been used throughout. Rate of
climb was determined for the initial cruise altitude conditions.
