Section 5 - Performance

This section provides all necessary data for an accurate and comprehensive planning of flight activity from takeoff to landing.

STALL SPEEDS

CROSSWIND

Maximum demonstrated crosswind is 24 Kts.

The actual crosswind component can be calculated using a variety of tools such as AeroToolbox.

TAKE-OFF

Associated conditions:

  1. Power ........................................................................ max continuous

  2. Propellers .......................................................................... 2575 RPM

  3. Surfaces .......................................... as reported in the relevant table

  4. Take-off speed ........................................................ IAS, as tabulated

  5. Static take-off ………………….………… full power, before brakes release

Take-Off Distance for maximum temperature conditions

CALCULATION SURCHARGES

Headwind: subtract 6% and 4% respectively from the ground and total distances for each 5 knots headwind.

Tailwind: add 20% and 15% respectively to the ground and total distances for each 5 knots tailwind.

Sloped runway: increase table distances by 8% of the ground distance at Sea Level, 12% of the ground distance at 5000 ft, 16% of the ground distance at 10000 ft for each 1% of upslope. Decrease table distances by 7% of the ground distance at Sea Level, 9% of the ground distance at 5000 ft, and 12% of the ground distance at 10000 ft for each 1% of downslope.

LANDING DISTANCE

Refer to figures below. Associated conditions:

  1. Flaps ......................................................................................... LAND

  2. Surface ............................................. as reported in the relevant table

  3. Maximum effective braking

  4. Power ......................................................................................... IDLE

  5. Landing speed ........................................................ IAS, as tabulated

LANDING SPEEDS

Landing distances on grass surface have been determined for the following airfield surfaces:

  • firm bare soil

  • grass up to 5 cm (2 inches) long

  • wheel impression up to 1 cm (0.4 in) Different runway conditions may result in improved or degraded performance.

Headwind: subtract 12% and 6% respectively from the ground and total distances for each 5 knots headwind.

Tailwind: add 13% and 7% respectively to the ground and total distances for each 5 knots tailwind.

Sloped runway: increase table distances by 6% of the ground distance at Sea Level, 7% of the ground distance at 5000 ft, 8% of the ground distance at 10000 ft for each 1% of downslope. Decrease table distances by 5% of the ground distance at Sea Level, 6% of the ground distance at 5000 ft, and 7% of the ground distance at 10000 ft for each 1% of upslope.

DRY PAVED RUNWAY

Consider about 10 m (33 ft) of ground distance reduction for each 100 kg (220 lb) of weight reduction.

Unpaved Runway – Grass

Consider about 10 m (33 ft) of ground distance reduction for each 100 kg (220 lb) of weight reduction.
