Enroute Rate of Climb
• Note •
• Rate-of-Climb values shown are change in altitude in feet per unit time expressed in
Feet per Minute.
• 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.
• Cruise climbs or short duration climbs are permissible at best power as long as
altitudes and temperatures remain within those specified in the table.
• 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: Example:
• Power...............................Full Throttle Outside Air Temp ...................... 10° C
• Mixture..................................Full Rich Weight................................... 3000 LB
• Flaps..................................... 0% (UP) Pressure Altitude................... 6500 FT
• Airspeed ...............Best Rate of Climb
Climb Airspeed..................... 93 Knots
