Assuming a maximum climb, Figure 5-16 may be used to determine the
time, fuel and distance to climb by reading values for a weight of 8750
pounds and a temperature 20°C above standard. The difference
between the values shown in the table for 4000 feet and 12,000 feet
results in the following:
Time: 16 Minutes
Fuel: 94 Pounds
Distance: 33 Nautical Miles
Similarly, Figure 5-22 shows that a descent from 12,000 feet to sea
level results in the following:
Time:
15
Minutes
Fuel: 72 Pounds
Distance: 43 Nautical Miles
The distances shown on the climb and descent charts are for zero
wind. A correction for the effect of wind may be made as follows:
Distance during climb with no wind:
