Performance Data
Enroute Climb Gradient
• Note •
• Climb Gradients shown are the gain in altitude for the horizontal distance traversed
expressed as Feet per Nautical Mile.
• Cruise climbs or short duration climbs are permissible at best power as long as
altitudes and temperatures remain within those specified in the table.
• For operation in air colder than this table provides, use coldest data shown.
• For operation in air warmer than this table provides, use extreme caution.
• The Maximum Operating Altitude of 17,500 feet MSL may be obtained if the
airplane’s gross weight does not exceed 2900 lb and the ambient temperature is
-20° C or less.
Conditions:
