Take-off and landing performance is optimum. Actual performance depends on pilot techniques, operating surfaces and other factors. It is the responsibility of the pilot to determine that all operations are conducted within approved limits of design gross weight, center of gravity, and in accordance with the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual which is the only official source of operating parameters and performance information. In accordance with GAMA format, range provides for taxi, take-off, climb at MCP, cruise at stated mixture and descent with 45-minute reserve at maximum range power. Empty weight in- cludes unusable fuel, full operating fluids and full oil.
