SAMPLE PROBLEM
(Continued)
CRUISE
The cruising altitude should be selected based on a consideration of
trip length, winds aloft and the airplane's performance. A typical
cruising altitude and the expected wind enroute have been given for
this sample problem. However, the power setting selection for cruise
must be determined based on several considerations. These include
the cruise performance characteristics presented in Figure 5-7, the
maximum rate of climb chart presented in Figure 5-5, and the time, fuel
and distance to climb chart presented in Figure 5-6.
The cruise performance chart, Figure 5-7, is entered at 6000 feet
pressure altitude and 20°C above standard temperature. These values
most nearly correspond to the planned altitude and expected
temperature conditions. The engine speed chosen is 2750 RPM, which
results in the following:
