Section 5 Pilot’s Operating Handbook
Performance EXTRA 500
5.4 Sample Problems
The following sample problem utilizes information from the
various charts to determine the performance data for a typical
flight.
The sample bases in the method to fill the fuel tank up to
MTOW (Maximum Take Off Weight) level after having
determined the weight and moment of the occupants (refer to
Section 6).
The following data are assumed in this sample:
1 Aircraft Configuration
