Once the flight is underway, ground speed checks will provide a more
accurate basis for estimating the time enroute and the corresponding fuel
required to complete the trip with ample reserve.
LANDING
A procedure similar to takeoff should be used for estimating the
landing distance at the destination airport. Figure 5-10presents landing
distance information for the short field technique. The distances corres-
ponding to 3000feet pressure altitude and a temperature of 30°C are as
follows:
Ground roll
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle
705Feet
1490Feet
A correction for the effect of wind may be made based on Note 2 of the
landing chart using the same procedure as outlined for takeoff.
DEMONSTRATED OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Satisfactory engine cooling has been demonstrated for this airplane
with an outside air temperature 23°C above standard. This is not to be
considered as an operating limitation. Reference should be made to
Section 2 for engine operating limitations.
