Chapters
Performance Terms & V-Speeds
Definitions of all performance speeds (V1, VR, V2, VMCA, VMCG, VNE, VA, VFE, VLO, VLE, VX, VY, VREF, VAP), performance terminology (TODR, TORA, TODA, ASDA, ASD, LDR, LDA), field length requirements.
Take-Off Performance
Effect of mass, wind, density altitude, runway slope, runway surface condition, obstacle clearance at take-off, accelerate-stop distance, balanced field length, use of performance charts and AFM data.
Climb Performance
Rate of climb, angle of climb, best-rate/best-angle speeds, service ceiling, absolute ceiling, effect of density altitude and mass, climb gradients (1st/2nd/3rd segments), OEI climb performance, obstacle clearance on departure.
Cruise & En-Route Performance
En-route requirements (OEI drift down), cruise altitude and altitude ceiling, payload/range trade-offs, speed/economy trade-offs, specific air range, LRC, effect of selected power settings and aircraft configuration.
Landing Performance
Landing distance required, approach speed (VREF, VAPP), effect of mass/wind/density altitude/runway slope/runway condition, autoland performance, contaminated runway corrections, missed approach climb gradient.
Mass & Balance — Heavy Aircraft
DOM, ZFW, MZFW, TOW, MTOW, LW, MLW, moment and CG calculations, load sheet completion, % MAC, effect of fuel burn on CG, trim, CG limits in take-off/landing/cruise, effect of undercarriage position.
Fuel Planning
Trip fuel, contingency fuel, alternate fuel, final reserve, additional fuel, extra fuel, minimum fuel, total fuel requirement, fuel policy, fuel monitoring in flight, comparison of actual vs planned consumption.
Performance Charts & Graphs
Reading and applying aircraft flight manual performance charts (WAT charts, climb charts, range/endurance graphs, crosswind component chart, contaminated runway correction tables). Use of tabulated data.
