Introduction
Performance data charts are presented to inform pilots about the aircraft's expected performance under various conditions, facilitating detailed flight planning. The data is based on actual flight tests with the aircraft and engine in good condition, using average piloting techniques. Variations in performance may occur due to factors such as mixture leaning techniques, engine condition, and air turbulence.
Takeoff Performance
For a takeoff weight of 2550 pounds at a pressure altitude of 2000 feet and a temperature of 30°C, the ground roll is 1285 feet, and the total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle is 2190 feet. With a 12-knot headwind, the corrected ground roll is 1118 feet, and the corrected total distance is 1905 feet.
Cruise Performance
At a cruising altitude of 8000 feet and a temperature of 20°C above standard, with a power setting of approximately 65%, the aircraft achieves a true airspeed of 117 knots and a cruise fuel flow of 8.9 gallons per hour.
Landing Performance
For landing at a pressure altitude of 2000 feet and a temperature of 30°C, the ground roll is 650 feet, and the total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle is 1455 feet.
Safety notes
- Altitude loss during a stall recovery may be as much as 230 feet.
- Satisfactory engine cooling has been demonstrated at temperatures 23°C above standard.

The data in the charts has been computed from actual flight tests with the airplane and engine in good condition and using average piloting techniques. It should be noted that performance information presented in the range and endurance profile charts allows for 45 minutes reserve fuel at the specified power setting. Fuel flow data for cruise is based on the recommended lean mixture setting at all altitudes. Some indeterminate variables such as mixture leaning technique, fuel metering characteristics, engine and propeller condition, and air turbulence may account for variations of 10% or more in range and endurance. Therefore, it is important to utilize all available information to estimate the fuel required for the particular flight and to flight plan in a conservative manner. USE OF PERFORMANCE CHARTS Performance data is presented in tabular or graphical form to illustrate the effect of different variables. Sufficiently detailed information is provided in the tables so that conservative values can be selected and used to determine the particular performance figure with reasonable accuracy. 172SPHAUS-05 U.S. 5-3 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE CESSNA MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT SAMPLE PROBLEM The following sample flight problem utilizes information from the various charts to determine the predicted performance data for a typical flight. Assume the following information has already been determined: AIRPLANE CONFIGURATION: Takeoff weight Usable fuel 2550 Pounds 53.0 Gallons TAKEOFF CONDITIONS: Field pressure altitude Temperature Wind component along runway Field length 1500 Feet 28°C (16°C Above Standard) 12 Knot Headwind 3500 Feet CRUISE CONDITIONS: Total distance Pressure altitude Temperature Expected wind enroute 360 Nautical Miles 7500 Feet 16°C (16°C Above Standard) 10 Knot Headwind LANDING CONDITIONS: Field pressure altitude Temperature Field length 15-4 U.S. 2000 Feet 25°C 3000 Feet (Continued Next Page) 172SPHAUS-05 CESSNA MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT ¡SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued) TAKEOFF SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE The takeoff distance chart, Figure 5-5, should be consulted, keeping in mind that distances shown are based on the short field technique. Conservative distances can be established by reading the chart at the next higher value of weight, altitude and temperature. For example, in this particular sample problem, the takeoff distance information presented for a weight of 2550 pounds, pressure altitude of 2000 feet and a temperature of 30°C should be used and results in the following: Ground roll Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle 1285 Feet 2190 Feet These distances are well within the available takeoff field length. However, a correction for the effect of wind may be made based on information presented in the note section of the takeoff chart. The correction for a 12 knot headwind is: 12 Knots X 10% = 13% Decrease 9 Knots This results in the following distances, corrected for wind: Ground roll, zero wind 1285 Feet Decrease in ground roll (1285 feet X 13%) -167 Feet Corrected ground roll 1118 Feet Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle, zero wind 2190 Feet Decrease in total distance (2190 feet X 13%) -285 Feet Corrected total distance to clear 50-foot obstacle 1905 Feet 172SPHAUS-05 (Continued Next Page) U.S. 5-5 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE ¡SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued) CRUISE CESSNA MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT The cruising altitude should be selected based on a consideration of trip length, winds aloft and the airplane's performance. A typical cruising altitude and the expected wind enroute have been given for this sample problem. However, the power setting selection for cruise must be determined based on several considerations. These include the cruise performance characteristics presented in Figure 5-8, the range profile chart presented in Figure 5-9, and the endurance profile chart presented in Figure 5-10. The relationship between power and range is illustrated by the range profile chart. Considerable fuel savings and longer range result when lower power settings are used. For this sample problem, a cruise power of approximately 65% will be used. The cruise performance chart, Figure 5-8, is entered at 8000 feet pressure altitude and 20°C above standard temperature. These values most nearly correspond to the planned altitude and expected temperature conditions. The engine speed chosen is 2600 RPM, which results in the following: Power True airspeed Cruise fuel flow 64% 117 Knots 8.9 GPH (Continued Next Page) 15-6 U.S. 172SPHAUS-05 CESSNA MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued) FUEL REQUIRED SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE The total fuel requirement for the flight may be estimated using the performance information in Figure 5-7 and Figure 5-8. For this sample

problem, the time, fuel and distance to climb may be determined from Figure 5-7 for normal climb. The difference between the values shown in the table for 2000 feet and 8000 feet results in the following: Time: Fuel: 11 Minutes 2.2 Gallons Distance: 15 Nautical Miles These values are for a standard temperature and are sufficiently accurate for most flight planning purposes. However, a further correction for the effect of temperature may be made as noted on the climb chart. The approximate effect of a nonstandard temperature is to increase the time, fuel and distance by 10% for each 10°C above standard temperature, due to the lower rate of climb. In this case, 1 assuming a temperature 16°C above standard the correction would be: 16°C 10°C -X 10% = 16% Increase With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as follows: Fuel to climb, standard temperature 2.2 Gallons Increase due to non-standard temperature (2.2 X 16%) 0.4 Gallons Corrected fuel to climb 2.6 Gallons Using a similar procedure for the distance to climb results in 18 nautical miles. The resultant cruise distance is: Total distance Climb distance Cruise distance 172SPHAUS-05 360 Nautical Miles -18 Nautical Miles 342 Nautical Miles (Continued Next Page) U.S. 5-7 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE CESSNA MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued) FUEL REQUIRED (Continued) With an expected 10 knot headwind, the ground speed for cruise is predicted to be: 117 Knots -10 Knots 107 Knots Therefore, the time required for the cruise portion of the trip is: 342 Nautical Miles = 3.2 Hours 107 Knots The fuel required for cruise is: 3.2 hours X 8.9 gallons/hour = 28.5 Gallons A 45-minute reserve requires: 45 60 X 8.9 gallons/hour = 6.7 Gallons The total estimated fuel required is as follows: Engine start, taxi, and takeoff Climb Cruise Reserve Total fuel required 1.4 Gallons 2.6 Gallons 28.5 Gallons 6.7 Gallons 39.2 Gallons Once the flight is underway, ground speed checks will provide a more accurate basis for estimating the time enroute and the corresponding fuel required to complete the trip with ample reserve. (Continued Next Page) 5-8 U.S. 172SPHAUS-05 CESSNA MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT SAMPLE PROBLEM (Continued) LANDING SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE A procedure similar to takeoff should be used for estimating the landing distance at the destination airport. Figure 5-11 presents landing distance information for the short field technique. The distances corresponding to 2000 feet and 30°C are as follows: Ground roll Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle 650 Feet 1455 Feet A correction for the effect of wind may be made based on information presented in the note section of the landing chart, using the same procedure as outlined for takeoff. DEMONSTRATED OPERATING TEMPERATURE Satisfactory engine cooling has been demonstrated for this airplane with an outside air temperature 23°C above standard. This is not to be considered as an operating limitation. Reference should be made to Section 2 for engine operating limitations. 172SPHAUS-05 U.S. 5-9 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE CESSNA MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT AIRSPEED CALIBRATION NORMAL STATIC SOURCE CONDITIONS: Power required for level flight or maximum power descent.
