  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 ... while using average 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…

  intake and supply. Figure 3-3. IMSAFE checklist. Aircraft Hazards “A” hazards can be classified in terms of both performance and equipage. Performance Aircraft performance hazards may include: • Fuel and Range–As previously described, fuel issues continue ... failure to achieve “book” speeds and fuel consumption can lead to an incident or accident. • Takeoff and Landing Performance– Takeoffs and landings become more hazardous when the calculated performance approaches the available runway length. • Altitude Performance–Operating to or from…
