Peformance Questions

Post by crippy »

Hey there, I am referring to aircraft performance tables and charts. I have found the cruising altitudes and en-route constant climb etc in the manual, but I am missing where it refers to calculating required runway length for takeoff and landings.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

hello,

page 126 of the A2A manual makes reference to takeoff performance charts with the following quote, "Refer to the TAKE-OFF CLIMB AND LANDING CHART on page XXX for take-off distance to be expected."
It looks like these performance charts never made it into the final version of the manual. The best I can offer is from a freeware version of the aircraft. At 93,000lbs at S.L. it calls for a ground run of 2,550' and 3,910' to clear a 50' obstacle.

To keep it simple, I would probably "budget" no less than 5,000' of runway for intended airports... that's probably pretty safe at anything other than extreme altitudes.

Hello Crippy,

The Calclassics L049 has this Performance chart in its manual.
You could download the aircraft on the Calclassic site and keep the manual.
Or i'll send it to you via PM.

I found an Air France Manuel d'Utilisation for the L749 here:

It's in French, but the numbers are English.
