Q

Performance - C6 Manual

How do we select the appropriate flap setting for takeoff ?

A

Flap 5 is the preferred takeoff flap setting, but if performance permits, an optimum flap setting should bee used in the case of performance limitations

Q

Performance C6 manual

When not field length limited what can be done?

A

Improved climb function in OPT can be used, which utilised excess field length to accelerate to higher takeoff speeds, which in turn improved climb gradient and raising climb and obstacle limited weights

Q

Performance C6 manual:

LMC

A

LMC can be a total of 300kg in the cabin and 500kg of fuel.

However if a cabin (standard) LMC is been carried out, Fuel LMC is now limited to 100kg.

Also removing a passenger even though taking weight off, is counted as a +100kg penalty
