Abstract

This specification provides airworthiness design requirements for general aeroplane performance, and is applicable to small aeroplanes as defined in Terminology F3060. The applicant for a design approval shall seek the individual guidance to their respective civil aviation authority (CAA) body concerning the use of this specification as part of a certification plan.

Performance requirements cover: stalling and takeoff speeds, takeoff performance, accelerate-stop distance, takeoff path, takeoff distance and takeoff run, takeoff flight path, climb, en route climb/descent, glide, reference landing approach speed, landing distance, and balked landing.

Scope

1.1 This specification covers the airworthiness design standards associated with general aeroplane performance. The material was developed through open consensus of international experts in general aviation. This information was created by focusing on Normal Category aeroplanes. The content may be more broadly applicable; it is the responsibility of the Applicant to substantiate broader applicability as a specific means of compliance. The topics covered within this specification are: Stalling, Takeoff and Landing Speeds; Takeoff Performance, Distances and Path; Climb; Landing Performance and Distances; Balked Landing.

1.2 An applicant intending to propose this information as Means of Compliance for a design approval must seek guidance from their respective oversight authority (for example, published guidance from applicable civil aviation authorities (CAAs)) concerning the acceptable use and application thereof. For information on which oversight authorities have accepted this standard (in whole or in part) as an acceptable Means of Compliance to their regulatory requirements (hereinafter “the Rules”), refer to ASTM Committee F44 webpage (www.astm.org/COMMITTEE/F44.htm).

1.3 Units—This specification may present information in either SI units, English Engineering units, or both. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
