- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Chapter Summary
Transport Category Aircraft Performance Transport category aircraft are certificated under Title 14 of the CFR (14 CFR) part 25. For additional information concerning transport category airplanes, consult the Airplane Flying Handbook, FAA-H-8083-3 (as revised). Transport category helicopters ... during the planning phase of the flight. Moreover, aircraft weight, atmospheric conditions, and external environmental factors can significantly affect aircraft performance. It is essential that a pilot become intimately familiar with the mission planning programs, performance characteristics, and capabilities…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance Charts
Performance Charts Performance charts allow a pilot to predict the takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing performance of an aircraft. These charts, provided by the manufacturer, are included in the AFM/POH. Information the manufacturer provides on these charts has been gathered ... good working order or piloting skills are below average. Figure 11-20. Conditions notes chart. Each aircraft performs differently and, therefore, has different performance numbers. Compute the performance of the aircraft prior to every flight, as every flight is different…

loads, fly at high altitudes at fast speeds, and/or travel long distances is essential for the performance of airline and executive type aircraft. The primary factors most affected by performance are the takeoff and landing distance, rate of climb, ceiling ... dictates differences between aircraft and explains the high degree of specialization found in modern aircraft. The various items of aircraft performance result from the combination of aircraft and powerplant characteristics. The aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft generally define the power…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance
Takeoff and Landing Performance The majority of pilot-caused aircraft accidents occur during the takeoff and landing phase of flight. Because ... this fact, the pilot must be familiar with all the variables that influence the takeoff and landing performance of an aircraft and must strive for exacting, professional procedures of operation during these phases of flight. Takeoff and landing performance…

brakes in the early stages of the landing roll (i.e., brakes and tires suffer from continuous hard use, but aircraft aerodynamic drag is free and does not wear out with use). The use of aerodynamic drag is applicable only ... case of thrust reversers). In addition to the important factors of proper procedures, many other variables affect the landing performance. Any item that alters the landing speed or deceleration rate during the landing roll affects the landing distance…
- Chapter 4: Approaches › Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations
Aircraft Performance Operating Limitations Generally speaking, air carriers must have in place an approved method of complying with Subpart I of 14 CFR Parts 121 and 135 (Airplane Performance Operating Limitations), thereby proving the airplane’s performance capability for every ... make and model of aircraft that is being operated. It is required to contain the manufacturer determined performance capabilities of the aircraft at each weight, altitude, and ambient temperature that are within the airplane’s listed limitations. Typically…
