- 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…
- 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 ... altitude, lowering the landing gear, or lowering the 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…
- 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 ... flies the aircraft at VY so as to 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…
- 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…

NAVAIDs. Departure WP, DP, route, STAR, desired approach, IAF, and destination airport are entered into the GPS receiver according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During preflight, additional information may be entered for functions such as ETA, fuel planning, winds aloft ... aircraft. The GPS receiver provides navigational values such as track, bearing, groundspeed, and distance. These are computed from the aircraft’s present latitude and longitude to the location of the next WP. Course guidance is provided between…
- CHAPTER 7. SMALL UAS MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION › 7.2 Maintenance
perform checks of the small unmanned aircraft prior to each flight to determine whether the small UAS is in a condition for safe operation. This chapter provides guidance on how to inspect and maintain a small UAS. Additionally, Appendix ... necessary for flight. Whenever possible, the operator should maintain the small UAS and its components in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. The aircraft manufacturer may provide the maintenance program, or, if one is not provided, the applicant may choose…
