Performance
5.1 General
This section contains performance data of A-32 airplane of standard (basic) configuration at
maximum takeoff weight in the following environmental conditions: ICAO standard
atmosphere (ISA), mean sea level (MSL), no wind, hard and even runway. Those data may
vary depending upon the configuration and technical condition of a particular aircraft and
actual environmental conditions of its operation.
5.2 Takeoff and landing distances
The minimum takeoff and landing distances of A-32 for the above conditions are specified
below. However pilots should always keep in mind that actual takeoff and landing distances
depend on condition of the aircraft, environment and pilot skill.

5.4 Cruise speeds and fuel consumption at various RPM settings
The cruise speeds and fuel consumption depend upon a multitude of factors: propeller pitch
and engine adjustments, fuel quality, atmospheric conditions, flight altitude, aircraft loading
and condition of its outer surface, etc.
With the KievProp three-blade propeller adjusted to take-off RPM of 5100 per minute and
standard condition of atmosphere and aircraft the following cruise speeds and fuel
consumption values may be used for flight planning:
Engine RPM
Cruise speed (IAS)
Fuel consumption
3400
80 km/h 50 mph 43 kts 6.9 l/h 1.83 US gal/h
3500
100 km/h 62 mph 54 kts 7.2 l/h 1.90 US gal/h
3800
125 km/h 78 mph 67 kts 8.5 l/h 2.24 US gal/h
4200
150 km/h 93 mph 81 kts 10.5 l/h 2.78 US gal/h
4650
175 km/h 109 mph 94 kts 13.0 l/h 3.43 US gal/h
5150
200 km/h 124 mph 108 kts 16.9 l/h 4.47 US gal/h
5500
215 km/h 134 mph 116 kts 21.5 l/h 5.69 US gal/h
However these values should be considered as approximate as they may vary due to effect
of the above mentioned factors. It is recommended to verify those values for the particular
conditions in which the exact values are required.
