Title:
FAASTeam December 2023 Topic Of The Month - Making The Numbers
Topic:
The 4-H Club And Aircraft Performance.
Speaker(s):
Stephen (Steve) Bateman, CFI
Brief Description:
Summary:
The General Aviation Joint Safety Committee (GAJSC) has determined that many accidents are the result of inaccurate and/or unreasonable expectations with regard to aircraft performance.
Here, we’ll see how the 4-H Club (hot, high, humid and heavy) conspire to greatly change aircraft performance. We’ll also remind ourselves how to predict aircraft performance, by using manufacturer’s data and useful rules-of-thumb.
Learning Points:
- General aviation accidents continue to be associated with inaccurate or unreasonable expectations about aircraft performance.
- The use of aircraft performance information is essential for every flight and in all flight regimes.
- Running the numbers isn’t difficult and a “take-off and landing card” should be part of every pre-flight action plan.
