  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Climb Performance

  Positive climb performance occurs when an aircraft gains PE by increasing altitude. Two basic factors, or a combination of the two factors, contribute to positive climb performance in most aircraft: 1. The aircraft climbs (gains PE) using excess power above ... that required to maintain level flight, or 2. The aircraft climbs by converting airspeed (KE) to altitude (PE). As an example of factor 1 above, an aircraft with an engine capable of producing 200 horsepower (at a given altitude…

  PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS FOR TAKEOFF, CLIMB, CRUISE, AND LANDING › TAKEOFF

  floats can create substantial CG changes as the seaplane is brought onto the step or rotated into a climb attitude. Some pilots use float compartments near the CG to stow iced fish or game from hunting expeditions. It is imperative ... adhere to the manufacturer’s weight and balance limitations and to include the weight and moment of float compartment contents in weight and balance calculations. Density altitude is a very important factor in seaplane takeoff performance. High altitudes, high temperatures…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Rate of Climb (ROC)

  Rate of Climb (ROC) ROC is a comparison of altitude gained relative to the time needed to reach that altitude. ROC is simply the vertical component of the aircraft’s flight path velocity vector. For maximum ROC performance, a pilot ... achieve a maximum gain in altitude over a given period of time. Maximum ROC expedites a climb to an assigned altitude. This gains the greatest vertical distance over a period of time. For example, in a maximum AOC profile…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance Charts › Climb and Cruise Charts

  Climb and Cruise Charts Climb and cruise chart information is based on actual flight tests conducted in an aircraft of the same type. This information is extremely useful when planning a cross-country flight to predict the performance and fuel ... consumption of the aircraft. Manufacturers produce several different charts for climb and cruise performance. These charts include everything from fuel, time, and distance to climb to best power setting during cruise to cruise range performance. The first chart to check…

  Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck The instructor is involved with risk management on multiple levels, which include not only managing the risk of a particular phase of flight or maneuver, but also teaching risk management ... managing the risks of providing in-flight instruction. Some concepts an instructor should bear in mind while teaching most maneuvers include: ⦁ Identify relevant hazards systematically and keep track of hazards during maneuvering (the learner manipulating controls may be a significant…

  Integrated Flight Instruction Integrated flight instruction is flight instruction during which learners are taught to perform flight maneuvers both by outside visual references and by reference to flight instruments. For this type of instruction to be fully effective ... outside references or instrument indications are used for the performance of the maneuver. When this training technique is used, instruction in the control of an aircraft by outside visual references is integrated with instruction in the use of flight instrument…
