The document on this Reference CD outlines required material for all phases of aircraft performance. It directs the student in learning the technical language and practical application related to flight.
The technical language, performance charts, and procedures are common to all transport aircraft. There are two major factors that are responsible for the differences. These are a specific aircraft's design and the way different aircraft manufacturers construct performance charts and procedures to support that design. These factors may make a given performance limitation critical for one aircraft and insignificant for another.
The material in this document provides information relative to the duties of the flight engineer, the atmosphere, aerodynamics, power plants, weight and balance, and aircraft flight performances.
The images below show pages taken from this document.
This Reference CD also includes Adobe PDF Reader for Windows 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, and XP to ensure you will be able to view the document.
