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.
