The new European Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs) lay down rulesgoverning the minimum levels of performance which must be attainedby every type of public transport aeroplane. These rules covermatters such as weight, altitude and temperature, take-off andlanding distance, cruise flight level and speed, and descent angleand rate.
The subject of aircraft performance forms an important part ofall JAR Flight Crew Licensing examinations for commercial andairline transport pilot licences, and this book provides a clearbut authoritative text on a difficult topic. It will also be ofinterest to commercial pilots needing to upgrade their annualground test to JAR standards, and to flight planners, operationscontrollers and airport operators.
