TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE
Table PER-14 shows decision, rotation and takeoff speeds for aircraft with
rudder bias system installed.
FAR Part 25 takeoff field lengths are shown in Tables PER-15 and PER-16.
Part 25 defines takeoff distance as the greater of accelerate-stop, accelerate-
go with one engine inoperative, or 115% of the all engine takeoff distance to
a point 35 feet above the runway. These factors are reflected in the takeoff
distances presented.
Second segment climb limitations are presented at the bottom of each take-
off chart for reference. Second segment climb refers to the ability of the air-
craft to meet certain climb rates after takeoff with one engine inoperative.
Second segment climb limitations are a function of temperature, elevation and
aircraft weight.
Two flap settings are shown for the aircraft: 15° and 7°. A flap setting of 15°
is preferred to minimize runway length and runway speeds. In those situa-
tions where second segment climb requirements are two limiting for 15° of
flaps, a 7° flap setting is available. A 7° flap setting requires greater runway
length but provides greater second segment climb capability.
A paved, level, dry runway with zero wind is assumed. Runway lengths shown
are based on the aircraft’s anti-ice system being off.

CLIMB PERFORMANCE
Two climb schedules are shown on the following pages: Maximum Rate
Climb and Cruise Climb.
Table PER-17 shows the indicated airspeeds at various altitudes for the var-
ious climb schedules.
The Maximum Rate Climb schedule results in the minimal amount of time to
reach a selected altitude (Table PER-18).
The Cruise Climb schedule provides a balance between forward speed and
rate of climb (Table PER-19).
Each climb schedule is based on the climb starting at sea level. Weights rep-
resent the weight of the aircraft at the start of the climb.

DESCENT PERFORMANCE
The Normal and High-Speed Descent schedule is shown in Table PER-22. The
time distance and fuel used from a given altitude is based on descending to
sea level.

MISSION PLANNING
Criteria
Wind correction factors are shown in Table PER-26. The factors are calcu-
lated as KTAS divided by the sum of KTAS ± wind component.
The mission planning table (Table PER-27) provides flight time and fuel
burn statistics for selected distances and altitudes.
Flight time represents the time for the climb, cruise and descent portion of
the mission. No allowance has been added for taxi, takeoff or approach. Fuel
burn represents the total amount of fuel consumed for taxi, climb, cruise, and
descent. There is a taxi allowance of 125 pounds of fuel included in all fuel
burn figures. IFR fuel reserves are considered in each case, but are not in-
cluded in the fuel burn figure.
The mission planning table reflects a climb using the cruise climb schedule
of 250 knots/.62 Mach, cruise at high speed cruise and descent using the high
speed descent schedule. Standard day conditions are assumed with zero wind
enroute. The effects of wind can be determined from the wind correction fac-
tors table below. Apply the wind correction factor to the zero wind flight time
and fuel burn to estimate the impact of wind.
