CRUISE - FLIGHT WITH FLAPS LOCKED AT 9°
The Long Range Cruise and Maximum Speed Cruise tables show N1,
fuel flow, indicated airspeed, true airspeed, indicated Mach number,
buffet margin and specific range. Data is presented for ISA conditions
and various weights, with corrections for ISA deviations.
In the Long Range Cruise schedule, all engines operating, the airplane
is flown at a speed corresponding to a specific range equal to 99% of
the maximum specific range. The LRC schedule is used when range is
the main factor considered.
In the Maximum Speed Cruise schedule, the airplane is flown in a
speed resulting from maximum cruise power setting or Vmo/Mmo,
whichever is lower. It is used when minimum flight time is desired.
The associated conditions are:
− Flaps .................................... 9°
− Landing Gear ....................... UP
− Bleeds.................................. OPEN
− Anti-Ice................................. OFF
The associated corrections for ISA deviation are:
− Increase/decrease N1% by 1% per 5°C above/below ISA
conditions.
− Increase/decrease fuel flow 1% per 5°C above/below ISA
conditions.
− Increase/decrease TAS by 2 kt per 5°C above/below ISA
conditions.
