Factors effecting performance
WWAT
Weight
Wind
Altitude
Temperature
FAR 23.149
MGTOW < 6000 and Vso < 61
- data not required
MGTOW > 6000 and/or Vso > 61
- data required
Accelerate Stop (AS)
Distance required
accelerate to Vr/Vlof
experience engine failure
come to a stop. 🛑
Estimated AS= Dist50’ * 1.5 (<70°f) or 2.0 (>70°)
Accelerate Go (AG)
Distance required
accelerate to Vr/Vlof
experience an engine failure
climb SE to 50’
Estimated AG = Dist50’ * 2.0 (<70°f) or 2.5 (>70°)
How WWAT effect AS and AG
Service Ceiling
highest altitude
steady rate of climb of
100 FPM
SE Service Ceiling
No longer maintain 50 FPM climb with OEI
Absolute Ceiling
positive climb rate no longer possible
SE Absolute Ceiling
Climb on one engine is no longer possible.
Airplane with drift down at Vyse to this
Drift Down
Loss an engine & drift down to the SE service ceiling at Vyse
Performance figures for OEI were determined at ______, although that fact may not be expressed in the AFM/POH.
zero sideslip (banked 2-3° toward operating engine, ball 1/2 toward operating engine)
