CHARTS

PERFORMANCE FACTORS

• TEMPERATURE
• MOISTURE
• WEIGHT
• WIND
• SLOPE OF RUNWAY

• WATER/SNOW/ICE ON RUNWAY
• SYSTEMS IN USE (BLEED AIR)
• PILOT SKILL
• CONDITION OF AIRCRAFT

CROSS/HEADWIND CHARTS

AIRPORT RUNWAY CONDITION

WATER/ICE/SNOW ON RUNWAY

• CHART DOES NOT FACTOR THIS IN BUT HYDROPLANING IS A CONCERN
• 60 SQUARED x 9 = ABOUT 70 KNOTS

ACCELERATE STOP/GO DISTANCE

TAKEOFF DISTANCE GROUND ROLL

TAKEOFF DISTANCE 50’ OBSTACLE

CLIMB PERFORMANCE

SERVICE / ABSOLUTE CEILINGS

• REQUIRED SINGLE ENGINE CLIMB PERFORMANCE UP TO 5,000’
• ONLY FOR AIRCRAFT WITH A MTOW OF MORE THAN 6000LBS AND/OR A VSO GREATER THAN 61 KNOTS

DESCENT CHARTS

CALCULATING TOP OF DESCENT

• CRUISE ALTITUDE - LANDING ELEVATION = ALTITUDE TO LOSE / DESCENT RATE = TIME TO DESCEND
• GROUND SPEED / 60 = FPNM
• TIME TO DESCEND x FPNM = DISTANCE OUT FROM AIRPORT
• OR 5000 = 15NM
• INTERMEDIATE CHECKS
• OR THOUSANDS OF FEET/3=MILES OUT, GS/2x10=VSI
