General Cabin Dimensions
Cabin Height, Width, and Length are based on a completed interior. On “cabin-class” aircraft,
the length is measured from the cockpit divider to the aft pressure bulkhead
(or aft cabin bulkhead if unpressurized). For small cabin aircraft, the distance
is from the cockpit firewall to the aft bulkhead. Height and width are the
maximum within that cabin space.
Cabin Volume is the interior volume, with headliner in place, without chairs
or other furnishings.
Cabin Door Height and Width are the measurements of the main passenger cabin
entry door.
Baggage
Internal baggage volume is the baggage volume that is accessible in flight
by the passenger. This amount may vary with the interior layout.
External baggage volume is the baggage volume not available in flight (nacelle
lockers, etc.).
Typical Passenger Seating
This is the typical crew and passenger seating commonly used on the aircraft.
This is not the maximum certificated seats of the aircraft. These numbers
may vary for different operations (Corporate, Commercial, EMS, etc.).
Weights
Maximum take-off weight is specified during aircraft certification.
Basic Operating Weight is the empty weight, typically equipped, plus unusable
fuel and liquids, flight crew (see Typical crew/Pass Seating) and their supplies. Useable fuel is the useable fuel in gallons x 6.7 pounds per gallon (Jet fuel)
or 6 pounds per gallon (AVGAS).
Payload - Full Fuel is the useful load minus the useable fuel. The useful load
is based on the maximum ramp weight minus the basic operating weight.
Payload - Maximum is the maximum zero fuel weight minus the basic operating
weight.
Performance Range
Range - SEATS FULL NBAA IFR Res (N.Mi.) - Seats Full is the maximum IFR range
of the aircraft with all passenger seats occupied. This uses the NBAA IFR
alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate. This is used
for jet and turboprop aircraft.
Range - TANKS FULL NBAA IFR Res (N.Mi.) - Tanks Full is the maximum IFR range
of the aircraft with the maximum fuel on board and no passenger seats occupied.
This uses the NBAA IFR alternate fuel reserve calculation for a 200 N.Mi. alternate.
This is used for jet and turboprop aircraft.
Balanced Field Length
BFL is the distance obtained by determining the decision speed (V1) at which
the take-off distance and the accelerate-stop distance are equal (fixed-wing
multi-engine aircraft only). This is based on four passengers and maximum
fuel on board (turbine aircraft). For single-engine and all piston fixed-wing
aircraft, this distance represents the take-off field length at Maximum Take-off
Weight (MTOW).
Landing Distance
For fixed-wing turbine aircraft, landing distance is computed using FAR 121
criteria. This takes the landing distance from 50/35 feet (depends on certification
criteria) and multiplies that by a factor of 1.667. No credit is given for
thrust reversers. Configuration is with four passengers and NBAA IFR Fuel
Reserve on board. For fixed-wing piston aircraft, this figure is the landing
distance over a 50 foot obstacle.
Rate of Climb (Ft/Min)
The rate of climb, given in feet per minute, is for all engines operating,
at MTOW, ISA conditions. One Engine Out rate of climb is for one engine inoperative
rate of climb at MTOW, ISA.
Cruise Speed
Max - (KTAS) is the maximum cruise speed at maximum continuous power. This
may also be commonly referred to as High Speed Cruise. Normal cruise speed
is the recommended cruise speed established by the manufacturer. This speed
may also be the same as Maximum Cruise Speed. Long Range Cruise is the manufacturer’s
recommended cruise speed for maximum range.
