Introduction
Performance data in this section are presented for operational planning so
that you will know what performance to expect from the airplane under
various ambient and field conditions. Performance data are presented for
takeoff, climb, and cruise (including range & endurance).
All data based on published normal procedures.
Standard Charts
Associated Conditions Affecting Performance
Computed performance data in this section are based upon data derived
from actual flight testing with the airplane and engine in good condition
and using average piloting techniques. Unless specifically noted in the
“Conditions” notes presented with each table, ambient conditions are for a
standard day. Flap position as well as thrust setting technique is similarly
noted with each table.
The charts in this section provide data over temperature ranges as specified
on the chart. If ambient temperature is below the chart value, use the lowest
temperature shown to compute performance. This will result in more
conservative performance calculations. If ambient temperature is above the
chart value, use caution as performance degrades rapidly at higher
temperatures.
Serials w/ optional Air Conditioning System: Brake Horsepower is reduced
by approximately 6 BHP.

General
Demonstrated Operating Temperature
Satisfactory engine cooling has been demonstrated for this airplane with an
Outside Air Temperature (OAT) 41 °F (23 °C) above standard. The value
given is not considered an operating limitation.
