SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE
The next step in the tlight plan is to determine the necessary
climb segment components.
The desired cruise pressure altitude and corresponding cruise
outside air temperature values are the first variables to be considered
in determining the climb components from the Time, Distance and
Fuel to Climb graph (Figure 5-17). After the time, distance and fuel
for the cruise pressure altitude and outside air temperature values
have been established, apply lhe existing conditions at lhe departure
field to the graph (Figure 5-17). Now, subtract the values obtained
from the graph for the field of departure condi- tions from those for
the cruise pressure altitude.
The remaining values are the true fuel, distance and time
components for the climb segment of the tlight plan corrected for
field pressure altitude and temperature.
The following values were determined from lhe above
instructions in the flight planning example.
