INTRODUCTION
Performance data charts on the following pages are presented so that you may know what to
expect from the airplane under various conditions, and also, to facilitate the planning of flights
in detail and with reasonable accuracy. The data in the charts has been computed from actual
flight tests with the airplane and engine in good condition and using average piloting
techniques.
It should be noted that the performance information presented in the range and endurance
profile charts allows for 45 minutes reserve fuel based on 45% power. Fuel flow data for
cruise is based on the recommended lean mixture setting. Some indeterminate variables such
as mixture leaning technique, fuel metering characteristics, engine and propeller condition, and
air turbulence may account for variations of 10% or more in range and endurance. Therefore,
it is important to utilize all available information to estimate the fuel required for the particular
flight.
USE OF PERFORMANCE CHARTS
Performance data is presented in tabular or graphical form to illustrate the effect of different
variables. Sufficiently detailed information is provided in the tables so that conservative values
can be selected and used to determine the particular performance figure with reasonable
accuracy.
SAMPLE PROBLEM
The following sample flight problem utilizes information from the various charts to determine
the predicted performance data for a typical flight. The following information is known:
