- 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 ... piloting skills, and with the aircraft and engine in good working order. Engineers record the flight data and create performance charts based on the behavior of the aircraft during the test flights. By using these performance charts, a pilot…
- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Demonstration-Performance Training Delivery Method › Learner Performance and Instruction Supervision Phases
Demonstration Phase The instructor demonstrates the actions necessary to perform a skill and may describe the actions simultaneously. The instructor avoids extraneous activity as much as possible so that learners get a clear understanding of the task ... closely conform to the explanation, this deviation should be immediately acknowledged and explained. Figure 9-6. The demonstration-performance method of teaching has four essential phases. Learner Performance and Instruction Supervision Phases As discussed in Chapter 5, The Teaching Process…
- 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 altitude. This leaves 70 horsepower available to climb. The pilot holds airspeed constant and increases power to perform the climb. As an example of factor 2, an aircraft is flying level at 120 knots. The pilot leaves the engine…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Climb Performance Factors
Climb Performance Factors Since weight, altitude and configuration changes affect excess thrust and power, they also affect climb performance. Climb performance is directly dependent upon the ability to produce either excess thrust or excess power. Earlier in the book ... flaps all decrease both excess thrust and excess power for all aircraft. Therefore, maximum AOC and maximum ROC performance decreases under any of these conditions. Weight has a very pronounced effect on aircraft performance. If weight is added…

appropriate checklists when available. Consistent adherence to approved checklists is a sign of a disciplined and competent pilot. Performance (Section 5) The Performance section contains all the information required by the aircraft certification regulations and any additional performance information ... manufacturer deems important to pilot ability to safely operate the aircraft. Performance charts, tables, and graphs vary in style, but all contain the same basic information. Examples of the performance information found in most flight manuals include a graph…
- Chapter 3b: Effects of Weather on Small Unmanned Aircraft Performance › Performance › Climb Performance Factors
Performance Performance is a term used to describe the ability of an aircraft to accomplish certain things that make it useful for certain purposes. The primary factors most affected by performance are the takeoff and landing distance, rate of climb ... ceiling, payload, range, speed, maneuverability, stability, and fuel economy. Climb Performance Factors Since weight, altitude and configuration changes affect excess thrust and power, they also affect climb performance. Climb performance is directly dependent upon the ability to produce either excess…
