Peformance Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

CPL

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Alternate Landing Area (ALA)

5%/ 1in 20
20X height away from end TODA

Climb Gradient

RoC ÷ GS
RoC Req.
CG x GS

Density Height

PH
Elev/Alt + [1013-­QNH­]x30hPa
ISA Temp
15-2x(­PH÷­1000)
ISA Corr.
120x(O­AT-ISA Temp)

Fuel Calcul­ations

FF
Time@R­ate­/Total DistxR­ate÷GS
Min Fuel Req
(FFx1.1­5)­+FR­+SU­/Taxi
FF Avail.
(usable fuel@S­U-F­R-S­U/T­axi­)÷1.15
Safe Endur.
FF Availa­ble­@Rate
Alternate
Add time from Dest to Altern in FF Calc
Holding
Extra item in fuel calc list
Echo: 35%PWR, 17.2gph (WX/Search Ops)
FF Avail - Transit Fuel = Hold/S­earch fuel

Range/ Endurance

SAR (ANMPG)
TAS ÷ Flow Rate
SGR (GNMPG)
GS ÷ Flow Rate
 

Establ­ishing MTOW

Least of:
TO Limit
 
Landing Limit + FF
 
MZFW + FoB@TO (FFx1.1­5+FR)

Max Payload

ZFW
MTOW - FOB@TO
Payload
ZFW - (BEW + Pilot)
Max Cargo
Payload - PAX

Max Fuel

Payload
Max Cargo + PAX
ZFW
Payload + (BEW + Pilot)
FoB @ TO
MTOW - ZFW

Shifting Weight (AFT Limit)

Shift (mm)
Pres. CoG - Req. CoG
Wt. to Shift
(Pres.Wt. x Shift)­÷Diff in Arms
OR
Change Moment­÷Change Arms

Ballast Fuel/ Add/Sub WT (AFT)

Shift
Pres. CoG - Req CoG
Weight to Add
(Pres.Wt. x Shift) ÷ (Req CoG - Comp. Arm)
Ballast fuel is WEIGHT not FF
Add hard ballast up to MZFW then fuel

Shift Weight (FWD Limit)

Shift
Fwd Limit - Pres CoG
Wt to shift
(Pres Wt x Shift)­÷Diff in arms
ECHO:
Fwd Lim. = [Pres Wt.-23­60]­x.2­7+2400
.27 = Diff in limits (mm)÷Diff in weights
 

Add/Sub Weight (FWD Limit)

Must use graph (CoG Envelope)
Plot present Wt./Index (A)
Add/Sub 100kg and Units
Plot new Wt./Index (B)
Draw line (A)-(B)

Floor Load Intensity

Pressure =
Force ÷ Area
Force =
Pressure x Area
Area =
Side 1 x Side 2

MAC

ECHO:
#mm-2190 = (A)mm
% of 1900 = ((A)÷1­900­)x100

ETP (CP)

Dist to ETP
Total DistxG­S(H­)÷2xTAS
Time ETP-A
Dist to ETPxGS(H)
Time ETP-B
[Total Dist-D­ist­ToE­TP]­xGS(O)
Halfway in nil wind, moves upwind

PNR

Time to PNR
[Safe Endur. x GS(H)]­÷2xTAS
A - PNR
Time to PNR @ GS(O)
B - PNR
[Safe Endur.-­Time to PNR]@GS(H)
@=
(Dist÷­GS)x100
Greatest out in nil wind, any wind decreases dist.
