6.2. Flight performance
6.2.1. Climb performance and range
Table 6-1 gives the optimum IAS to climb for best range at empty
weight with the following assumptions:
Usable fuel quantity (41.6 litres / 10.5 US gal)
Empty mass 480 kg ((1058 lbs) excl. fuel).
Flight profile: Saw tooth profile
Note:
Optimum range is obtained by flying a saw tooth profile with
climbs at maximum continuous power and glide with engine
off and retracted.
Note:
The range specified in Table 6-1 applies to both the 18m and
21m configurations. In 21m configuration, fly 3% less than
specified climb airspeeds.
Note:
The glide distance calculated in Table 6-1 assumes a glide
ratio of 50:1 at best glide speed with the engine retracted.
Note
: The performance values listed in this section are theoretical
predictions based on experimental studies and aircraft in
clean configuration achieving optimal drag performance with
engine extended and retracted as required. These values will
vary depending on the atmospheric conditions and
configuration of the aircraft.
