Elements of aircraft performance
|
- Take off and landing distance
- Rate of climb - Fuel economy - Cruising speed |
|
|
Factors that affect the performance
|
- Air density
- Surface wind - Runway surface - Upslope/downslope runway - Weight |
|
|
Effect of increased density altitude?
|
Higher density altitude => air is less dense
- increased take off/landing distances - Reduced rate of climb - Increased true airspeed |
|
|
Cessna 172 speeds - airspeed limitations
|
Vne = 163 IAS (never exceed)
Vno = 129 IAS (normal operations) Va ( maneuvering speed) - 2550 = 105 IAS - 2200 = 98 IAS - 1900 = 90 IAS Vfe = 110 IAS Vso = 40 IAS (stalling speed in landing config) |
