Performance
5.1 General
This section contains performance data of A32 airplane of standard (basic) configuration at
maximum takeoff weight in the following environmental conditions: ICAO standard
atmosphere (ISA), mean sea level (MSL), no wind, hard and even runway. Those data may
vary depending upon the configuration and technical condition of a particular aircraft and
actual environmental conditions of its operation.
5.2 Takeoff and landing distances
The minimum takeoff and landing distances of A32 for the above conditions are specified
below. However pilots should always keep in mind that actual takeoff and landing distances
depend on condition of the aircraft, environment and pilot skill.
Takeoff/Landing run ....................... 120/158 m (394/518 ft)
Takeoff distance to 15 m (50 ft) .................. 319 m (1047 ft)
Landing distance from 15 m (50 ft) ............. 404 m (1325 ft)
5.3 Climb performance
The rate of climb depends on atmospheric conditions, airplane takeoff weight and flap
setting. The climb performance data of A32 in ISA conditions at MSL, maximum takeoff
weight are specified below:
Best angle of climb speed V
X
................... 100 km/h (54 kts)
Best rate of climb speed V
Y
..................... 120 km/h (65 kts)
Maximum rate of climb at V
X
................... 2.8 m/s (551 fpm)
Maximum rate of climb at V
Y
................... 4.2 m/s (827 fpm)
5.4 Cruise speeds and fuel consumption at various RPM settings
The cruise speeds and fuel consumption depend upon a multitude of factors: propeller pitch
and engine adjustments, fuel quality, atmospheric conditions, flight altitude, aircraft loading
and condition of its outer surface, etc.
With the KievProp three-blade propeller adjusted to take-off RPM of 5100 per minute and
standard condition of atmosphere and aircraft the following cruise speeds and fuel
consumption values may be used for flight planning:
Engine RPM Cruise speed (IAS)
Fuel consumption
3400
80 km/h
43 kts
6.9 l/h 1.83 US gal/h
3500
100 km/h
54 kts
7.2 l/h 1.90 US gal/h
3800
125 km/h
67 kts
8.5 l/h 2.24 US gal/h
4200
150 km/h
81 kts 10.5 l/h 2.78 US gal/h
4650
175 km/h
94 kts 13.0 l/h 3.43 US gal/h
5150
200 km/h 108 kts 16.9 l/h 4.47 US gal/h
5500
215 km/h 116 kts 21.5 l/h 5.69 US gal/h
However these values should be considered as approximate as they may vary due to effect
of the above mentioned factors. It is recommended to verify those values for the particular
conditions in which the exact values are required.
