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 the performance information presented in the range and endurance profile charts allows for 45 minutes reserve fuel based on 45% power. Fuel flow data for cruise is based on the recommended lean mixture setting. Some indeterminate variables such as mixture leaning technique, fuel metering characteristics, en- gine and propeller condition, and air turbulence may account for varia- tions of 10% or more in range and endurance. Therefore, it is impor- tant to utilize all available information to estimate the fuel required for the particular flight. USE OF PERFORMANCE CHARTS Performance data is presented in tabular or graphical form to illus- trate 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 reasona- ble accuracy. SAMPLE PROBLEM The following sample flight problem utilizes information from the various charts to determine the predicted performance data for a typi- cal flight. The following information is known: AIRPLANE CONFIGURATION Takeoff weight Usable fuel TAKEOFF CONDITIONS Field pressure altitude Temperature Wind component along runway Field length 2250 Pounds 40 Gallons 1500 Feet 28°C (16° C above standard) 12 Knot Headwind 3500 Feet 5-3 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE CESSNA MODEL 172N CRUISE CONDITIONS Total distance Pressure altitude Temperature Expected wind enroute LANDING CONDITIONS Field pressure altitude Temperature Field length TAKEOFF 460 Nautical Miles 5500 Feet 20°C (16°C above standard) 10 Knot Headwind 2000 Feet 25°C 3000 Feet The takeoff distance chart, figure 5-4, should be consulted, keeping in mind that the distances shown are based on the short field tech- nique. Conservative distances can be established by reading the chart at the next higher value of weight, altitude and temperature. For ex- ample, in this particular sample problem, the takeoff distance informa- tion presented for a weight of 2300 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 1075 Feet 1915 Feet These distances are well within the available takeoff field length. However, a correction for the effect of wind may be made based on Note 3 of the takeoff chart. The correction for a 12 knot headwind is: 12 Knots 9 Knots × 10% 13% Decrease This results in the following distances, corrected for wind: Ground roll, zero wind Decrease in ground roll (1075 feet × 13%) Corrected ground roll 1075 140 935 Feet 5-4 50-foot obstacle, zero wind Total distance to clear a Decrease in total distance (1915 feet 13%) Corrected total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle 1915 249 1666 Feet JJ CESSNA MODEL 172N SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE CRUISE 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 5-7, the range profile chart presented in figure 5-8, and the endurance profile chart presented in figure 5-9. 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. The range profile chart indicates that use of 65% power at 5500 feet yields a predicted range of 523 nautical miles with no wind. The endu- rance profile chart, figure 5-9, shows a corresponding 4.7 hours. The range figure of 523 nautical miles is corrected to account for the expected 10 knot headwind at 5500 feet. Range, zero wind Decrease in range due to wind (4.7 hours 10 knot headwind) Corrected range 523 47 476 Nautical Miles This indicates that the trip can be made without a fuel stop using ap- proximately 65% power. The cruise performance chart, figure 5-7, is entered at 6000 feet 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 2500 RPM, which results in the following: Power True airspeed Cruise fuel flow 64% 114 Knots 7.1 GPH The power computer may be used to determine power and fuel con- sumption more accurately during the flight. FUEL REQUIRED The total fuel requirement for the flight may be estimated using the 5-5 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE CESSNA MODEL 172N performance information in figure 5-6 and 5-7. For ths sample prob-

lem, figure 5-6 shows that a climb from 2000 feet to 6000 feet requires 1.3 gallons of fuel. The corresponding distance during the climb is 9 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 non-standard tempera- ture 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, assuming a temperature 16°C above standard, the correction would be: 16°C 10°C × 10% = 16% Increase With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as fol- lows: Fuel to climb, standard temperature Increase due to non-standard temperature (1.3 × 16%) Corrected fuel to climb 1.3 0.2 1.5 Gallons Using a similar procedure for the distance to climb results in 10 nauti- cal miles. The resultant cruise distance is: Total distance Climb distance Cruise distance 460 -10 450 Nautical Miles With an expected 10 knot headwind, the ground speed for cruise is predicted to be: 114 -10 104 Knots Therefore, the time required for the cruise portion of the trip is: 450 Nautical Miles 104 Knots = 4.3 Hours The fuel required for cruise is: 4.3 hours 7.1 gallons/hour 5-6 = 30.5 Gallons J J J J J J J J J J J J J CESSNA MODEL 172N The total estimated fuel required is as follows: SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE Engine start, taxi, and takeoff 1.1 Climb 1.5 Cruise 30.5 Total fuel required 33.1 Gallons This will leave a fuel reserve of: 40.0 -33.1 6.9 Gallons Once the flight is underway, ground speed checks will provide a more accurate basis for estimating the time enroute and the corres- ponding fuel required to complete the trip with ample reserve. LANDING A procedure similar to takeoff should be used for estimating the landing distance at the destination airport. Figure 5-10 presents land- ing 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 590 Feet 1370 Feet A correction for the effect of wind may be made based on Note 2 of the landing chart using the same procedure as outlined for takeoff. 5-7 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE FLAPS UP AIRSPEED CALIBRATION NORMAL STATIC SOURCE CESSNA MODEL 172N KIAS KCAS 49 449 40 550 229 60 62 770 80 90 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 80 89 99 108 118 128 138 FLAPS 10° KIAS KCAS 49 499 40 50 60 70 50 55 77 680 8 80 85 62 71 80 85 FLAPS 40° KIAS KCAS 4445 40 50 60 47 54 584 680 62 77 70 80 85 71 81 86 5-8 Figure 5-1.
