Specifying takeoff data
for your aircraft
You will find that the third panel of the Performance Editor has three
different sections. The takeoff data of your aircraft is available when
you click Takeoff at the top of the panel. The other two sections are
Cruise and Landing data. In addition to these three sections, you can
also enter a name for the aircraft as well as specifying its crew size.
Title and crew
At the top of the Editor area you can enter the title of the perfor-
mance file. This is the title that will appear in the Select Aircraft
panel. The title can differ from the file name, so use the title to
properly identify your aircraft!
Also on the top of the Editor area, you can enter the number of crew
members of your aircraft. Valid values are 2 or 3, although you can enter
any number you wish (higher numbers are treated as 3). If your cockpit
crew includes an engineer, enter 3 in the box. Otherwise, enter 2.
Takeoff speed data
The Takeoff Data panel allows you to enter or adjust the takeoff data
elements for your aircraft. The top section contains a table summari-
zing the takeoff speed data. The table below describes the various
columns in this table.
You can add, insert, or delete rows in the table. To add a row at the
bottom, click Add. To insert a row below the selected row (shown
with bold numbers), click Ins. To delete the selected row, click Del,
and click Yes to confirm the operation. If no rows are selected, the
bottom row will be deleted.
