PRODUCT FEATURES & USER INTERFACE HOW & WHY OF PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS A look at methods for calculating performance The good, the bad and the ugly What does this presentation cover?
CAVU Companies Who Founded 1982 Privately held Located in upstate NY James Deuvall Founder/CEO Flew part 135 for ExecAir Sim Instructor “Aircraft Performance, Myths & Methods”
The overriding issue regarding performance is: Weight Weight = Time Weight = Money Weight = Expectation Weight = Safety Why

AC 120-76B • Type B applications must not extrapolate or project results not represented by the AFM-approved data point's envelop of conditions including, pressure altitude, temperature and/or weight [Par 10 (e)(4)(f)] • Creation of a new algorithmic method to replace AFM data is not allowed in Type B applications [Par 10 (e)(4)(g)] • Type B algorithms must adhere to the same data methodology as the AFM-approved data [Par 10 (e)(4)(g)] • For performance, Type B applications, must represent net climb gradient with considerations including, but not limited to, level-off, acceleration, transitions and engine takeoff power time limits. [Par 10 (e)(4)(f)] • Type B applications must accurately address engine inoperative gradients and obstacle clearance plane and weight limits. [Par 10 (e)(4)(f)] • Transition from airport area performance to enroute climb performance and obstacle clearance must be addressed. [Par 10 (e)(4)(f)] • Type B applications are suitable only insofar as they accurately reproduce the paper AFM data. [Par 10 (e)(4)(f)]

“We use runway analysis, and all of that has been taken care of. It allows us to depart under conditions we couldn’t before.”

Runway Analysis • is not a “pet rock” solution. • does not provide climb gradient clearance. • provides 35’ clearance within a narrow lateral/vertical corridor. • does not necessarily terminate in the enroute structure. • terminates in a holding pattern not likely where ATC is expecting you to show up on radar. • does routinely suspend the Net Takeoff Flight Path profile of the AFM • (ie “Do not level off”, 25° banks, turns with OEI at 50 AGL, etc) • is a logistical challenge • education, proving flights, training, currency, crew tracking • is NOT a
Runway Analysis Musts…. Discard the idea that “special procedures” can be used as routine departures. Approach RA as an increased risk procedure that must be justified. Limit “escape procedures” to manageable number. Flight test the procedures. (the airlines do) Ask questions. (How can we deviate from the AFM?) Develop and adhere to strict simulator training to proficiency standards. Develop and adhere to track-able crew matching. Develop and adhere to strict briefing methods.
