Subject syllabus

1. Aircraft performance, EU legislation, EASA aircraft performance categories B and A, certification specifications CS-23 and CS-25.
2. Phases of flight (take-off, climb, cruising, descent, approach and landing) definition, variables affecting performance (temperature, air density, wind, airplane weight, configuration, center of gravity position, runway lengths).
3. Performance class B - single-engine airplanes, definition of speeds, the influence of variables on their performance.
4. Use of performance characteristics of single-engine airplanes from the flight manual for individual phases of flight.
5. Performance class B - multi-engine airplanes, definition of speeds, the influence of variables on their performance.
6. Use of performance characteristics of multi-engine airplanes from the flight manual for individual phases of flight.
7. Performance class A - airplanes according to certification specification CS-25, definition of speeds.
8. Declared take-off lengths. Influence of variables on take-off distance. Exercises with aircraft manuals. Calculations using EFB. Takeoff abortion - strategy, high speed rejected take off.
9. Declared landing lengths. Influence of variables on landing distance. Exercises with aircraft manuals. Calculations using EFB.
10. Climb after take-off, definition of individual segments. Obstacle restrictions.
11. Calculations for wet and contaminated tracks.
12. Strategies for using different degrees of flap extension during take-off. Use of speed range V1.
13. Take-off with reduced power. Derated thrust vs Flex Teperature.
14. Strategy when shutting down the power unit in the phase of cruising flight - drift down.
