SECTION VII
MODEL 560 FLIGHT PLANNING AND PERFORMANCE
The following criteria are used:
1. 200 pounds of taxi fuel.
2. 247 Knot /.62 Mach climb schedule for all tables.
3. 60 percent of the cruise wind factor applied to climb; 40 percent to descent.
4. Descent to 10,000 feet from cruise altitude using normal descent profile.
5. Thirty nautical miles from destination at 10,000 feet and long range cruise airspeed.
6. Ten minutes approach fuel at 856 pounds per hour total fuel flow.
7. No reserve fuel.
FUEL RANGE TABLE USAGE
Entering the table at the planned stage length, read the fuel and time required per the conditions. If
the fuel required is in excess of fuel available or if fuel reserves are inadequate, it may be advantageous to
utilize one of the more economical cruise airspeed profiles and repeat the flight planning process. Specific
data are presented in the PERFORMANCE chapter for separate computation of the climb, cruise and
descent phases. If taxi time is known, 10 pounds per minute fuel flow can be used in lieu of the 200-pound
figure.
After airplane loading and flight plan fuel requirements are determined, takeoff, climb and landing gross
weights should be rechecked for compliance with Flight Manual criteria.
