Performance DA 62 AFM
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The performance tables and diagrams on the following pages are presented so that, on
the one hand, you can see what performance you can expect from your airplane, while
on the other hand they allow comprehensive and sufficiently accurate flight planning. The
values in the tables and the diagrams were obtained in the framework of the flight trials
using an airplane and power-plant in good condition, and corrected to the conditions of
the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA = 15
E
C/59 °F and 1013.25 hPa/29.92 inHg
at sea level).
The performance diagrams and tables do not take into account variations in pilot
experience or a poorly maintained airplane. The performances given can be attained if
the procedures quoted in this manual are applied, and the airplane has been well
maintained.
5.2 USE OF THE PERFORMANCE TABLES AND DIAGRAMS
In order to illustrate the influence of a number of different variables, the performance data
is reproduced in the form of tables or diagrams. These contain sufficiently detailed
information so that conservative values can be selected and used for the determination
of adequate performance data for the planned flight.
For a conversion of units see Chapter 1.6 - UNITS OF MEASUREMENT.
For temperatures, altitudes and weights between those provided, use a linear interpolation
between the neighboring values.
For weights below 1800 kg (3968 lb), use data for the lowest weight.
For operation in outside air temperature lower than provided in these tables, use data
for lowest temperature shown.
For operation in outside air temperature higher than provided in these tables, use extreme
caution.
