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 recom- mended lean mixture setting. Some indeterminate variables such as mix- ture 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. 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 reasonable accuracy. SAMPLE PROBLEM. The following sample flight problem utilizes information from the various charts to determine the predicted performance data for a typical 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 38 Gallons 1500 Feet 28°C (16°C above standard) 12 Knot Headwind 3500 Feet 5-3 S.L. 2000 ALTITUDE - FEET. 4000 6000 75% POWER 8000 10.000 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE 2300 Pounds CONDITIONS: Standard Temperature Recommended Lean Mixture for Cruise 48.0 GALLONS USABLE FUEL 45 MINUTES RESERVE ENDURANCE PROFILE NOTES: 1. 2. time during climb as shown in figure 5-6.

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 informa- tion presented for a weight of 2300 lbs., a 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 1155 Feet 2030 Feet A correction for the effect of wind may be made based on Note 3 of the takeoff chart. The distance 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 Decrease in ground roll (1155 feet x 13%) 1155 150 the sample problem. CRUISE The cruising altitude and winds aloft information have been given for this flight. However, the power setting selection for cruise must be de- termined based on several considerations. These include the cruise per- formance characteristics of the airplane 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 range profile chart illustrates the relationship between power and range. Considerable fuel savings and longer range result when lower power settings are used. For this sample problem with a cruise altitude of 5500 feet and dis- tance of 420 nautical miles, the range profile chart indicates that use of a 75% power setting will necessitate a fuel stop, in view of the anticipated 10 knot headwind component. However, selecting a 65% power setting from the range profile chart yields a predicted range of 477 nautical miles under zero wind conditions. The endurance profile chart, figure 5-9, shows a corresponding 4.4 hours. The range figure of 477 nautical miles is corrected to account for the expected 10 knot headwind at 5500 feet. Range, zero wind Decrease in range due to wind 477 44 433 Nautical Miles 1005 Feet Corrected ground roll Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle, zero wind 2030 Decrease in total distance (2030 feet x 13%) 264 1766 Feet Corrected total distance to clear 50-foot obstacle These distances are well within the takeoff field length quoted earlier for (4. 4 hours x 10 knot headwind) Corrected range This indicates that the trip can be made without a fuel stop using approxi- mately 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 expected altitude and temperature conditions. The en- gine speed chosen is 2500 RPM, which results in the following: Power True airspeed Cruise fuel flow 62% 109 Knots 7.0 GPH The power computer may be used to determine power and fuel consumption during the flight. 5-4 5-5 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE FUEL REQUIRED CESSNA MODEL 172M The total fuel requirement for the flight may be estimated using the performance information in figures 5-6 and 5-7. For this sample prob- lem, figure 5-6 shows that a climb from 1000 feet to 6000 feet requires 2.0 gallons of fuel and may be used as a conservative estimate for this problem. This is for a standard temperature (as shown on the climb chart). The approximate effect of a non-standard temperature is to in- crease 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 x 10% = 16% Increase 10°C With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as follows: Fuel to climb, standard temperature Increase due to non-standard temperature (2.0 x 16%) Corrected fuel to climb 2.0 0.3 2. 3 Gallons In addition, the distance to climb, as given in figure 5-6, may be correct- ed for non-standard temperature as follows: Distance to climb, standard temperature Increase due to non-standard temperature (14 nautical miles x 16%) Corrected distance to climb The resultant cruise distance is: 14 2 16 Nautical Miles CESSNA MODEL 172M SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE The fuel required for cruise is endurance times fuel consumption: 4. 1 hours x 7.0 gallons/hour = 28.7 Gallons The total estimated fuel required is as follows: Engine start, taxi, and takeoff Climb 1. 1 2. 3 Cruise 28.7 Total fuel required 32. 1 Gallons This will leave a fuel reserve of: 38.0 -32.1 5. 9 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. LANDING A procedure similar to the takeoff calculations should be used for estimating the landing distance at the destination airport. Figure 5-10 presents maximum performance technique landing distances for various airport altitude and temperature combinations. The distances corres- ponding to 2000 feet altitude and 30°C should be used and result in the following: Ground roll Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle 590 Feet 1370 Feet Total distance Climb distance Cruise distance 420 -16 404 Nautical Miles With an expected 10 knot headwind, the ground speed for cruise is pre- dicted to be: 109 -10 99 Knots A correction for wind may be made based on Note 2 of the landing chart. The distance correction for a 6 knot headwind is: 6 Knots 9 Knots x 10% = 7% Decrease This results in the following wind-corrected figures: Therefore, the time required for the cruise portion of the trip is: 5-6 404 Nautical Miles 99 Knots = 4.1 Hours Ground roll Total distance over a 50-foot obstacle 549 Feet 1274 Feet These distances are well within the landing field length quoted previously for this sample problem. 5-7 SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE FLAPS UP KIAS KCAS FLAPS 10° KIAS KCAS 40 49 499 49 88 40 AIRSPEED CALIBRATION NORMAL STATIC SOURCE 62 680 5550 50 550 60 689 55 62 CESSNA CESSNA MODEL 172M MODEL 172M AIRSPEED CALIBRATION FLAPS UP NORMAL KIAS ALTERNATE KIAS FLAPS 10° NORMAL KIAS ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE HEATER/VENTS AND WINDOWS CLOSED SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE 40 39 6550 49 50 51 61 60 60 70 80 90 90 100 110 130 71 82 91 101 111 121 131 141 120 140 770 70 80 90 70 80 89 880 100 110 120 130 140 ALTERNATE KIAS 99 108 118 128 138 440 40 40 51 6859 550 60 77 70 80 61 71 81 85 888 85 888 FLAPS 40° RF 70 71 88 80 85 80 85 NORMAL KIAS ALTERNATE KIAS 6660 550 40 88 38 50 70 22 8 80 85 83 70 79 HEATER/VENTS OPEN AND WINDOWS CLOSED 90 100 89 110 120 99 108 118 128 130 140 139 FLAPS 40° 40 50 60 449 KIAS KCAS 70 80 47 54 62 71 81 85 86 $18 17 Figure 5-1.
