Aircraft performance and planning ties it all together. It is about how your aircraft performs and what that means for every flight: how much runway you need, how much you can carry, and how to plan a safe, legal operation.
What this subject covers
- Take-off, climb, cruise and landing performance
- Weight and balance calculations
- Crosswind and runway limits
- Fuel planning and reserve requirements
- Operational planning for each flight
Why it matters
Every safe flight starts with good planning. Understanding performance figures means you never ask more of the aircraft than it can give — the difference between a comfortable, lawful flight and an avoidable risk.
