TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE
14 CFR Part 23 Commuter Category takeoff field lengths are shown on
the following pages. Part 23 Commuter Category defines takeoff distance
as the greater of accelerate-stop, accelerate-go with one engine
inoperative, or 115% of the all engine takeoff distance to a point 35 feet
above the runway. These factors are reflected in the takeoff field lengths
presented.
Two flap settings are shown for the aircraft: 15° and 0°. A flap setting of
15° is preferred to minimize runway length and runway speeds. In those
situations where second segment climb requirements are too limiting for
15° of flaps, a 0° flap setting is available. A 0° flap setting requires greater
runway length but provides equal or greater second segment climb
capability.
A paved, level, dry runway with zero wind is assumed. Runway lengths
shown are based on the aircraft's anti-ice systems being off and the cabin
bleed air on.

MISSION PLANNING
CRITERIA
The following mission planning table provides flight time and fuel burn
statistics for selected distances and altitudes.
Flight time represents the time for the climb, cruise and descent portion of
the mission. No allowance has been added for taxi, takeoff, approach, or
ATC procedures. Fuel burn represents the total amount of fuel consumed for
taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, and descent. There is a taxi and takeoff allowance
of 100 pounds of fuel included in all fuel burn figures. NBAA IFR fuel
reserves (100 nm) are considered in each case but are not included in the
fuel burn figure.
The mission planning table reflects the climb schedule of 222 knots /
M 0.56, high-speed cruise, and high-speed descent schedules. Standard
day conditions are assumed with zero wind enroute. The effects of wind
can be determined from the wind correction factors table below. Apply the
wind correction factor to the zero wind flight time and fuel burn to estimate
the impact of wind.
