AEROPRAKT-22LS Pilot Operating Handbook
A22LS-XXX-POH-01
5 Performance
5.1 General
This section contains performance data of A-22LS airplane of standard (basic)
configuration at maximum takeoff weight in the following environmental conditions: ICAO
standard atmosphere (ISA), mean sea level (MSL), no wind, hard and even runway. Those
data may vary depending upon the configuration and technical condition of a particular
aircraft and actual environmental conditions of its operation.
5.2 Takeoff and landing distances
The minimum takeoff and landing distances of A-22LS for the above conditions are
specified in the table below. However pilots should always keep in mind that actual takeoff
and landing distances depend on condition of the aircraft, environment and pilot skill.
Engine
Rotax-912UL
Rotax-912ULS
Takeoff/Landing run
125 m (410 ft)
100 m (328 ft)
Takeoff/Landing distance to/from 15 m (50 ft) 338 m (1108 ft)
243 m (797 ft)
5.3 Climb performance
The rate of climb depends on atmospheric conditions, airplane takeoff weight, flap setting
and engine type. The climb performance data of A-22LS in ISA conditions at MSL,
maximum takeoff weight are specified in the table below:

3.5 m/s (690 fpm)
5.4 Level flight at cruising speed
The cruising speed of level flight is 180 kph (97 kts) at 5400 RPM.
5.5 Endurance
The maximum flight endurance of the aircraft at a low altitude and full fuel tanks (90 l or
23.8 US gal) is equal to 9 hours.
5.6 "Bug" effect
Bugs and raindrops affect the aircraft performance insignificantly but as there is no wiper
on the windscreen they impair the visibility in flight.
