Summary
The course is based on module 032 - Performance. The content is focused on the issue of setting requirements for aircraft performance in individual phases of flight. Comprehensive knowledge of all factors affecting the performance of the aircraft during the various phases of flight, including regulatory requirements, is one of the main requirements for the safety of flight.
The student will gain competence in the field of aircraft performance requirements, calculations of basic performance parameters of category B aircraft according to EASA certification specification CS-23 and class A aircraft according to specification CS-25, which will allow him to pass ATPL exams at the Prague Civil Aviation Authority.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
Continuous verification of students' knowledge in numerical exercises in the form of discussion and questions with the aim of active involvement of students in teaching. Students identify, look for a solution of given problems and their interpretation by students.
Control tests for solving numerical examples, or selected theoretical parts.
Students' knowledge is verified at the end of the semester by a written test.

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.
