PLANNING - INTRODUCTION
SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE
The performance information on the following pages shows what is to be
expected of the aircraft under various conditions. They are also a means
forsufficientandcorrect flight planning.
The data has been computed from extensive flight tests with the aircraft
and engine in good condition and is approximated to average piloting
techniques.
Effects of ambient conditions (such as a soft or grass runway surfaces
fortakeoff and landing, or winds aloft on cruise and range performance)
are not considered on the charts, and tables must be interpolated by the
pilot.
Performance information presented in the range and endurance profile
charts allow for 45 minutes of reserve fuel at the specified power settings.
Fuel consumption is based on flight with appropriate leaning techinque
forthemixtureatdifferentaltitudes.
The recommended procedures for leaning mixture are explained in
Section4,4.7“AMPLIFIED NORMAL PROCEDURES“ of this handbook.
Due to the various influences on fuel consumption during flight, (use all
available information) check fuel flow and quantity frequently while in
flight.
To obtain the performance indicated in the charts, follow the chart
procedures.
This section contains a flight planning example. This example shows the
order as well as the manner in which to perform flight planning with
reasonableaccuracybyusingtheperformance charts and tables.
