Answer:
This discusses the factors that affect aircraft
performance, which include the aircraft weight, atmospheric
conditions, runway environment, and the fundamental
physical laws governing the forces acting on an aircraft.
Importance of Performance Data
The performance or operational information section of the
Aircraft Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/
POH) contains the operating data for the aircraft; that is, the
data pertaining to takeoff, climb, range, endurance, descent,
and landing. The use of this data in flying operations is
mandatory for safe and efficient operation. Considerable
knowledge and familiarity of the aircraft can be gained by
studying this material.
