TERMS USED IN THE TABLES ON PAGES 26 TO 31 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS USED PRICES Airplane and some helicopter selling prices are based on the latest available edition of the Aircraft Bluebook Price Digest. Additional helicopter pricing data is from HeliValues. TYPICAL CREW/PASSENGER SEATING This is the typical crew and passenger seating on the aircraft, not the maximum certified seats. These numbers may vary for different operations (corporate, commercial, EMS, etc.). Maximum number of passengers are as certified. CABIN DIMENSIONS Cabin height, width and length are based on a completed interior. On “cabin-class” aircraft, the length is measured from the cockpit divider to the aft pressure bulkhead (or aft cabin bulkhead, if unpressurized). For small-cabin aircraft, the distance is from the cockpit firewall to the aft bulkhead. Height and width are the maximum within that cabin space. Cabin volume is the interior volume, with headliner in place, without chairs or other furnishings. WEIGHTS Maximum takeoff weight is specified during aircraft certification. Fuel capacity is in gallons based on 6.7 pounds per gallon (jet fuel). Maximum payload with full fuel is the useful load minus the usable fuel. The useful load is based on the maximum ramp weight minus the basic operating weight. PRODUCTION STARTED/ENDED Year of the first delivery to the year of the last serial number delivery. NUMBER BUILT Total number produced, which may include converted aircraft.

This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200-nm alternate. HELICOPTER RANGE The maximum VFR range of the aircraft with all passenger seats occupied. This is used for all helicopters. CRUISE SPEED Max (ktas) is the maximum cruise speed at maximum continuous power. This is also commonly referred to as high-speed cruise. Normal cruise speed is the recommended cruise speed established by the manufacturer. This speed may be the same as maximum cruise speed. SERVICE CEILING For airplanes, this is the highest altitude at which a 100-fpm rate of climb is possible at maximum takeoff weight with all engines running. For helicopters, this is the maximum certified altitude for operation. BALANCED FIELD LENGTH (BFL) – AIRPLANES ONLY BFL is the distance obtained by–determining the decision speed (V1) at which the takeoff distance and the accelerate-stop distance are equal (multi-engine aircraft only). This is based on four passengers and maximum fuel on board (turbine aircraft). BFL is based on a dry level runway, no wind, NBAA IFR reserves and 86 degrees F. LANDING DISTANCE–AIRPLANES ONLY This is computed using the landing distance from 50 or 35 feet above the ground (depends on certification criteria) multiplied by 1.667. No credit is given for thrust reversers. Configuration is with four passengers and NBAA IFR fuel reserve on board. *Notes: 1. All personal very light jets have one engine. All other jets listed have two engines. 2. All personal very light jets, compact very light jets and other jets marked with an asterisk (*) are approved or planned to be approved for operation by one pilot. The maximum passenger seating of these aircraft there- fore includes one passenger in the right seat in the cockpit. Seating for all other aircraft assumes a two-pilot
