1. INTRODUCTION
The Flight Planning and Cruise Control Manual contains performance data for the operation of
the CL600, Model 2B16, Challenger equipped with two General Electric CF 34−3B engines and
manufactured by Bombardier Inc., Canadair Group, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. All of the
performance data in the Flight Planning and Cruise Control Manual are governed by the
limitations of the Airplane Flight Manual, PSP 604−1 or PSP 605−1, and are provided as advisory
information only.
3. MANUAL CONVENTIONS
Altitudes are pressure altitudes, unless otherwise noted.
Airspeed data presented in the Flight Planning and Cruise Control Manual are quoted in terms of
indicated airspeed, in knots (KIAS), and indicated Mach number (MI), unless otherwise noted.
Position error corrections to altitude, airspeed and Mach number for the flaps-up configuration
are negligible for the primary flight display as specified in the Airplane Flight Manual. In this case,
indicated airspeed (KIAS) can be read as calibrated airspeed (KCAS) and indicated Mach
number (MI) can be read as true Mach number (MT) .
All airplane performance data are based on average engine performance (thrust/s.f.c.), with 30%
MAC reference c.g. position, unless otherwise noted.
Tabulated data are generally presented in 2,000 lb airplane weight increments.
The Air Traffic Control (ATC) limited speed of 250 KIAS below 10,000 ft has been incorporated
into the normal operation climb and descent data.
Undefined performance information is denoted by "TBD".
It is permitted to interpolate linearly between airplane weight, altitude and/or temperature values
given in the tables.
Shaded areas are used to distinguish several variables by column.

4. CALCULATION OF FUEL SUPPLY REQUIRED
A. Normal Operations
The flight fuel supply required includes the main and reserve fuel quantities.
The main fuel quantity can be calculated using the data provided in Chapter 3; Flight
Planning and Chapter 4; Two Engine Performance, and must include the fuel for engine
starting and warming (20 kg or 44 lb), taxi (5.9 kg/min or 13 lb/min, take-off, cruise,
approach and landing.
The reserve fuel quantity can be calculated using the data provided in Chapter 3; Flight
Planning and Chapter 4; Two Engine Performance, and consists of the air navigation and
the compensation fuel reserves.
• The air navigation fuel reserve includes the fuel for go−around, flight to alternate airfield,
30 minutes of holding above the alternate airfield and approach and landing.
• The compensation fuel reserve is equal to 3% of the main fuel quantity described above.
B. Operations with Systems Failure After Take-off
The effect of engine failure on mission performance can be estimated using the data
provided in Chapter 6; Special Operational Data.
The effect of take-off flaps failure to retract is a reduction of 50% in range.
The effect of landing gear failure to retract is a reduction of 45% in range.
5. PAGINATION
Each chapter of the Flight Planning and Cruise Control Manual is subdivided into sections
categorized by the subject or type of material presented.
This permits issuance of small blocks of revision pages without renumbering and reprinting
complete sections of the manual.
The volume is paginated with a Chapter/Section/Page numbering system as follows:
Sample Pagination
DFP0101_002
01−01−2
Additional identification data carried in the margin of the page are the date of issue or revision
date printed below the page number and the chapter title and subject carried in the masthead.
Blank pages resulting from end of section and back-up pages for foldout illustrations or
illustrations that must be arranged as facing pages are provided to avoid the impression that a
page is missing. These pages are numbered and included in the List of Effective Pages.
6. ABBREVIATIONS
The following abbreviations are found in the Flight Planning and Cruise Control Manual. some
abbreviations may also appear in lower case letters. Abbreviations having very limited usage are

1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains operating data, presented in tabular and chart form, which enable quick
cross-checks and conversions. The data are to be used by the flight crew prior to and during
flight to determine such information as:
• Atmosphere data,
• Wind component conversion,
• Units conversion,
• Pressure/true altitude conversion,
• Differential pressure versus aircraft and cabin altitude,
• Airspeed and temperature conversion,
• Ground distance to air distance conversion, and
• Maximum operating limit speeds.
2. CONVERSION DATA
A. International Standard Atmosphere
The International Standard Atmosphere tabulated data, on Figure 02−01−1, shows the
temperature, temperature ratio, pressure, pressure ratio, density, density ratio, coefficient of
viscosity and speed of sound. The data are tabulated versus varying pressure altitudes, in
1,000 ft. and 500 m increments. The data are presented in both imperial units and metric
units.
To convert °R to °F, subtract 459.67. To convert °K to °C, subtract 273.15.

B. Wind Component
A chart to convert wind velocity into a headwind or tailwind component is shown on
Figure 02−01−2 for wind velocities of up to 60 knots in 10-degree angle increments relative
to the runway heading.
Example:
Figure 02−01−2 shows that for a given wind velocity of 35 kt at an angle of 20 degrees
relative to the runway heading, the wind components are:
Crosswind = 12.0 kt (A)
Headwind = 32.9 kt (B)

Figure 02−01−7 converts meter units to feet units.
Figure 02−01−8 converts nautical mile units to kilometer units.
Figure 02−01−9 converts kilometer units to nautical units.
Figure 02−01−10 converts pound units to kilogram units.
Figure 02−01−11 converts kilogram units to pound units.
Figure 02−01−12 converts Celsius temperature units to Fahrenheit temperature units.
Example:
Figure 02−01−6 shows that at a given runway length of 6,785 ft, the conversion to
meters is obtained by adding the metric values of 6,700 ft and 85 ft:
6,700 ft = 2,042.16 m (A)
+ 85 ft = + 25.91 m (B)
6,785 ft = 2,068.07 m

1. INTRODUCTION
The data contained in this chapter are provided for flight planning purposes. The flight planning
data can be used either when no pre-calculated flight plan is available or for flight planning
follow-up.
A. Flight Planning Allowances
The flight planning charts herein are based on standard temperature and 30% MAC center of
gravity (c.g.) position. Trip fuel values derived from these charts should be adjusted for
non-standard conditions as follows:
• For every 10°C temperature deviation from ISA, increase (positive deviation) or decrease
(negative deviation) trip fuel by approximately 2%.
• For evey 5% c.g. variation from the 30% reference c.g. position, increase (forward c.g.) or
decrease (aft c.g.) trip fuel by approximately 1%.
When using these charts for flight planning purposes, reserve fuel (see Reserve Fuel chart) must
be considered.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Trip distance = 1,500 NM
Cruise speed = 0.74 MI
Wind = 30 kt, headwind
Cruise altitude = 20,000 ft
Landing weight = 35,000 lb
Enroute temperature = ISA + 5°C
The example on Figure 03−01−1 shows that for the above associated conditions, the
following are obtained:
Take-off weight = 46,450 lb (A)
Trip time = 3.80 hr (B)

1. INTRODUCTION
Alternate planning is provided by a reserve fuel chart which enables quick determination of time
and fuel required to fly to an alternate airport after a missed approach at the destination.
A. Reserve Time and Fuel
The reserve time and fuel chart is based on ISA conditions using the NBAA/IFR mission
format described below:
(1) Standard instrument approach with fuel assumed equal to five minutes loitering at
5,000 feet;
(2) Missed approach followed by climb out to 5,000 feet (from sea level);
(3) Hold at loiter power at 5,000 feet for five (5) minutes while awaiting clearance;
(4) Economy cruise to the alternate (LRC speed, 0 to 500 NM variable alternate distance);
(5) Descent enroute to sea-level at 3,000 ft. per minute (maximum) and land;
(6) Fuel reserve after landing at alternate equal to 0, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes loitering at
5,000 ft.
Fuel and time data are presented as functions of airplane zero fuel weight up to 32,000 lb.
MZFW and alternate distances up to 500 nautical miles (±150 kt wind variation) with 0, 15,
30, 45 or 60 minutes holding time at alternate. The recommended NBAA/IFR alternate
distance and holding time are 200 NM and 30 minutes, respectively.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Alternate distance = 200 NM
Average wind = 30 kt, tailwind
Holding time = 30 min
Zero fuel weight = 27,630 lb. (Operating empty weight with
1,000 lb payload)
The example on Figure 03−02−1 shows that for the above associated conditions, the
following are obtained:
Alternate time = 31.6 min (A)
Alternate fuel = 1,827 lb (B)

1. INTRODUCTION
This section provides two engine operating performance data to be used for hand calculation of
detailed flight plans, if computerized flight planning is not available.
The performance information includes:
• G.E. CF 34-3B Maximum climb and maximum cruise power settings,
• General cruise speeds chart,
• Altitude selection data,
• Climb and level flight acceleration data,
• Cruise specific air range charts,
• Cruise control data,
• Descent and holding tabulated data.
Normal take-off with and without APR and go-around power setting curves are presented in the
Airplane Flight Manual, PSP 604-1 or PSP 605-1.
Where applicable, the performance information is presented for a number of speed schedules. A
speed schedule is a combination of indicated airspeed (IAS), in knots, and Mach number. A
constant IAS applies to below the crossover altitude, while a constant Mach number applies to
above the crossover altitude The crossover altitude is the altitude at which the true airspeed
(TAS), corresponding to the IAS, equals the TAS corresponding to the Mach number.
All performance data presented in this chapter are based on a centre of gravity location 30% of
the mean aerodynamic chord and using normal engine bleed for air-conditioning on and anti-ice
off, unless otherwise noted.
It is permitted to interpolate linearly between airplane weight, altitude and/or temperature values
given in the tables. Shaded areas distinguish several variables by column.
1. INTRODUCTION
Maximum climb and cruise thrust settings are presented in tabular format. Percent fan rotor
speed (N1) are provided for an expanded range of altitudes and temperatures in order to facilitate
manual thrust setting determination.
N1 data are shown for maximum climb power (MXCL) and maximum cruise power (MXCR) for
the following engine bleed configuration:
• Normal ACU’s, anti-ice off,
• Normal ACU’s, cowl anti-ice on (up to 30,000 ft pressure altitude),
• Normal ACU’s, cowl and wing anti-ice on (up to 30,000 ft pressure altitude).
Maximum climb fan speed settings (N1) are based on a 250 KIAS/0.70 MI speed schedule but are
valid for climb speed schedules equal to or higher than the 250 KIAS/0.70 MI speed schedule.
Maximum cruise fan speed settings (N1) should not be exceeded at any speed condition.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Pressure altitude = 5,000 ft
Ambient temperature = 50°F (ISA + 4.9°C)
Using Figure 04−02−1, enter the table with the pressure altitude and ambient
temperature as given above to arrive at a fan speed setting (N1) of 92.2%.

1. INTRODUCTION
The General Cruise Speeds chart presents typical cruise speeds as a function of airplane gross
weight and pressure altitude: 1.0 “g” and 1.3 “g” load factor maneuver speeds (buffet or stick
shaker speed limitations at 30% c.g. position), minimum drag speed (VMD) long range cruise
speed (LRC), and maximum range cruise speed (MRC) for −100, 0 and 100 knots wind speeds.
At VMD, the thrust required is minimum for a given gross weight and altitude combination. This
speed is generally selected for holding. At each combination of weight, altitude and wind
component, there is one speed, the MRC speed, where the maximum range is obtained. In
practice, the airplane can fly a considerably higher speed, the LRC speed, with a specific range
loss of 1% (99% maximum SAR).
Example:
The example in Figure 04−03−1 shows that at a given gross weight of 31,000 lb and
pressure altitude of 39,000 ft, the following are obtained:
• 1.0 “g” Maneuvering airspeed* is 0.473 MI (A),
• 1.3 “g” Maneuvering airspeed* is 0.548 MI (B),
• Minimum drag speed (VMD) is 0.608 MI (C),
• Maximum range cruise speed, with 100 kt tailwind, is 0.654 MI (D),
• Maximum range cruise speed, with 0 wind, is 0.671 MI (E),
• Maximum range cruise speed, with 100 kt headwind, is 0.703 MI (F),
• Long range cruise speed is 0.708 MI (G).
*Maneuvering capabilities are fully defined in the CL-604/605 Airplane Flight Manual,
PSP-604-1 or PSP 605-1.

1. INTRODUCTION
Cruise altitude selection is governed by the lowest of either climb ceiling with Maximum Climb
Thrust (MXCL) or maximum cruise altitude with Maximum Cruise Thrust (MXCR).
A. Climb Ceiling
All engine operating climb ceilings are presented in graphical form as a function of initial climb
weight at sea level and weight at altitude for 100, 300 and 500 fpm rate of climb and various
temperature conditions.
The data are presented for the following climb speed schedules:
• 250 KIAS/0.72 MI ‘‘Long Range Climb Speed’’
• 250/300 KIAS/0.78 MI ‘‘High Speed Climb’’
The data are based on the use of maximum climb thrust with normal air-conditioning on and
anti-ice off. The high speed schedule climb data incorporates the ATC speed limitation of
250 KIAS below 10,000 ft.
B. Maximum Cruise Altitude
All engine operating cruise ceiling (level flight speed capability) is the maximum attainable
altitude at a given airplane gross weight and cruise Mach number with maximum cruise
power. Cruise ceilings are given for 0.74, 0.77, 0.80, 0.82 and LRC indicated Mach numbers
as a function of airplane gross weight for various temperature conditions. Data are based on
the use of Maximum Cruise Thrust with normal air-conditioning on and anti-ice off.
Maneuver load capability limit altitude lines based on 0.2 ‘g’ and 0.3 ‘g’ margins with buffet
onset and/or stick shaker, are shown on the climb (weight at altitude) and cruise ceiling
charts.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Initial weight at sea level = 44,000 lb
Climb speed schedule = 250 KIAS/0.72 MI
Average climb temperature = ISA + 5°C
Airplane rate of climb = 100 fpm
The example on Figure 04−04−1 shows that for the above associated conditions, the
climb ceiling is found to be 39,800 ft (A).
Assuming a cruise altitude of 39,000 ft is selected, the cruise ceiling is obtained as
follows:
Associated conditions:
Target cruise speed = 0.80 MI
Estimated weight at altitude = Initial weight – Fuel consumed during climb
= 44,000 – 1,315 (from Page 2 of 2 of Figure
04-06-3)
= 42,685 lb
Using Figure 04−04−15, the maximum cruise altitude is found to be 37,950 ft (B).
Therefore, a cruise altitude of 37,950 ft can be selected.

1. INTRODUCTION
The all engine operating climb performance data are presented in tabular form as a function of
initial climb weight for −10, 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20°C temperature deviations from ISA and are based
on the use of Maximum Climb Thrust with normal air-conditioning on and anti-ice off, for Long
Range Climb and High Speed Climb schedules.
Climb performance tables show the following data:
• TIME : Time in minutes
• DIST : Air distance in nautical air miles
• FUEL : Fuel consumed in pounds
• MACH : Indicated Mach Number
• ATAS : Average true airspeed in knots
• ROC : Rate of climb at altitude in fpm
At a selected climb speed schedule, the table is entered at an initial climb weight with average
temperature conditions at given initial and final climb altitudes. Climb time, distance and fuel
consumed are the differences between the values read at the initial and final altitudes. Airplane
rate of climb and indicated Mach number at altitude are also given.
The climb distance represents the air distance (zero wind) covered and ATAS represents the
average true airspeed from sea level to the point at which the top of climb altitude is reached. In
wind conditions, the ground distance can be derived using the following equation:
Ground Distance = [ Air Distance X (ATAS ± Wind*) / ATAS ]
*(Wind : ‘‘+’’ for tailwind and ‘‘−’’ for headwind.)
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Initial climb weight at sea level = 46,000 lb
Initial climb altitude = 5,000 ft
Climb speed schedule = 250 KIAS/0.72 MI
Average climb temperature = ISA + 5°C
Average wind = –30 kt (headwind)
Final altitude = 35,000 ft
Using Figure 04−06−3, the following are obtained:
Initial altitude of 5,000 ft:
Time to 5,000 ft = 1.2 min
Air distance to 5,000 ft = 5.4 NM
Avg true airspeed to 5,000 ft = 258 kt
Ground distance to 5,000 ft = 4.8 NM [ 5.4 X (258 – 30) / 258 ]
Fuel consumed to 5,000 ft = 126 lb
Final altitude of 35,000 ft:
Time to 35,000 ft = 17.2 min
Air distance to 35,000 ft = 102.4 NM
Avg true airspeed to 35,000 ft = 357 kt
Ground distance to 35,000 ft = 93.8 NM [ 102.4 X (357 − 30) / 357 ]
Fuel consumed to 35,000 ft = 1,105 lb
Climb time, distance and fuel consumed between 5,000 ft and 35,000 ft pressure altitudes are
obtained as follows:
Time = 16.0 min (17.2 – 1.2)
Ground distance = 89.0 NM (93.8 – 4.8)
Fuel consumed = 979 lb (1,105 – 126)

1. INTRODUCTION
The all engine operating acceleration data are presented in tabular form and are based on the
use of maximum climb thrust with normal air-conditioning on and anti-ice off and for various
airplane gross weight, pressure altitude and temperature conditions. Upon attaining cruise
altitude, the airplane accelerates at this power setting until the target cruise Mach is achieved.
The acceleration data assume an initial speed of 250 KIAS or 0.72 MI. The following data are
presented as a function of initial airplane gross weight for pressure altitudes from 31,000 ft to
41,000 ft in 2,000-ft increments and −10, 0, 10, and 20°C temperature deviations from ISA.
• TIME : Time in minutes
• DIST : Air distance in nautical air miles
• FUEL : Fuel consumed in pounds
The maximum climb power setting (%N1) is assumed to be constant during acceleration. If the
climb is performed at a higher speed, acceleration data can be obtained by taking the difference
in acceleration time, distance, and fuel from the top of climb speed and the target cruise speed.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Top of climb weight = 40,000 lb
Temperature conditions = ISA + 10 °C
Pressure altitude = 35,000 ft
Target cruise speed = 0.80 MI
To determine the acceleration data for 40,000 lb airplane weight, interpolate between the values
of 38,000 lb and 42,000 lb airplane gross weights.
Using Figure 04−07−11, the following are obtained:
At 38,000 lb airplane gross weight:
Time = 1.9 min
Distance = 14.4 NM
Fuel = 85 lb
At 42,000 lb airplane gross weight:
Time = 2.7 min
Distance = 20.6 NM
Fuel = 121 lb
The time, distance and fuel from 0.72 MI initial cruise Mach number to 0.80 MI is obtained by
linear interpolation, as follows:
Time = 2.3 min [ (2.7 + 1.9) / 2 ]
Distance = 17.5 NM [ (20.6 + 14.4) / 2 ]
Fuel = 103 lb [ (121 + 85) / 2 ]

1. INTRODUCTION
The all-engine specific air range (SAR) values are presented in graphical form versus Mach
number, as a function of airplane gross weight for pressure altitudes ranging from 1,500 ft to
41,000 ft. The performance data are presented for the speed range from the minimum drag
speed (VMD) up to the speed for maximum cruise thrust (MXCR) or the VMO/VMMO speed,
whichever is limiting.
The graphs are calculated for zero wind and ISA conditions with normal air-conditioning on and
anti-ice off. A correction factor is given on each graph for non-standard day temperatures.
On each SAR chart, lines indicating the maximum SAR values (maximum cruise range) and the
99% maximum SAR values (defining the long range cruise Mach number), are shown.
SAR charts can also be entered with true airspeed using the lower portion of the chart.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Airplane gross weight = 46,000 lb
Pressure altitude = 1,500 ft
Temperature = ISA + 5°C
Cruise speed = 0.43 MI
From Figure 04−08−1, the following are obtained:
Specific air range (ISA) = 0.114 NAM/lb (A)
Specific air range (ISA + 5°C) = 0.114 − (0.6% of SAR per 10°C above ISA)
= 0.114 − (0.003 X 0.114)
= 0.1137

1. INTRODUCTION
The primary purpose of the cruise control data is to establish a target thrust setting (% N1) for a
selected cruise speed at a given pressure altitude, temperature and airplane gross weight
combination. The all engine cruise control data are presented in tabular form and are based on
the use of power for level flight (not exceeding maximum cruise thrust) with normal
air-conditioning on and anti-ice off.

0.74, 0.77, 0.80, 0.82 MI, LRC and MRC cruise speeds. Data are shown for pressure altitudes
starting at 10,000 ft (at constant KIAS, LRC and MRC) and for pressure altitudes starting at
23,000 ft (at constant Mach numbers) for −10, 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20°C temperature deviations from
ISA.

Associated Conditions:
Airplane gross weight = 40,000 lb
Pressure altitude = 37,000 ft
Temperature conditions = ISA + 15°C
Cruise speed = 0.74 MI
Using Page 2 of Figure 04−09−29 , the following are obtained:
Fan speed setting = 91.1 % N1
Fuel flow per engine = 1,004 lb/hr
Specific air range = 0.2186 NAM/lb
Indicated Mach number = 0.74 MI
Indicated airspeed = 238 kt

1. INTRODUCTION
The all engine operating descent data are presented in tabular form as a function of airplane
gross weight during a descent from altitude to sea level for −10, 0, 10, 15 and 20°C temperature
deviations from ISA.
Descent data are presented for the following descent speed schedules:
• 0.72 MI/250 KIAS “Long range descent speed”
• 0.78 MI/300/250 KIAS “High speed descent”
Data are based on the use of idle power with normal air-conditioning on and anti-ice off. The high
speed descent schedule incorporates the ATC speed limitation of 250 KIAS below 10,000 ft.
Where applicable, the airplane rate of descent has been limited to 3,000 fpm (rate of descent
shown in bold) to meet NBAA operational rules.
Descent performance graphs show the following data:
• TIME : Time in minutes
• DIST : Air distance in nautical air miles
• FUEL : Fuel consumed in pounds
• MACH : Indicated Mach number
• ATAS : Average true airspeed in knots
• ROD : Rate of descent in fpm
At a selected descent speed schedule, the table is entered at an initial descent weight with
average temperature conditions at given initial and final descent altitudes. Descent time, distance
and fuel consumed are the differences between the values read at the initial and final altitudes.
Airplane rate of descent and indicated Mach number at altitude are also given.
The descent distance represents the air distance (zero wind) covered and ATAS represents the
average true airspeed from sea level to the point at which the top of descent altitude is reached.
In wind conditions, the ground distance can be derived using the following equation:
Ground Distance = [ Air Distance X (ATAS ± Wind*) / ATAS ]
*(Wind : ‘‘+’’ for tailwind and ‘‘−’’ for headwind.)
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Initial descent weight at altitude = 36,000 lb
Initial cruise altitude = 41,000 ft
Descent speed schedule = 0.78 MI/300/250 KIAS
Average descent temperature = ISA + 10°C
Average wind = −30 kt (headwind)
Final altitude = 5,000 ft
Using Figure 04−10−7, the following data are obtained:
Initial cruise altitude of 41,000 ft:
Time from 41,000 ft = 17.9 min
Air distance from 41,000 ft = 110.5 NM
Avg true speed from 41,000 ft = 370 kt
Ground distance from 41,000 ft = 101.5 NM [ 110.5 X (370 − 30) / 370 ]
Fuel consumed from 41,000 ft = 252 lb
Final altitude of 5,000 ft:
Time from 5,000 ft = 3.2 min
Air distance from 5,000 ft = 13.9 NM
Avg true airspeed from 5,000 ft = 263 kt
Ground distance from 5,000 ft = 12.3 NM [ 13.9 X (263 − 30) / 263 ]
Fuel consumed from 5,000 ft = 47 lb
Descent time, distance and fuel consumed between 41,000 ft and 5,000 ft pressure altitudes are
obtained as follows:
Time = 14.7 min (17.9 − 3.2)
Ground distance = 89.2 NM (101.5 − 12.3)
Fuel consumed = 205 lb (252 − 47)

1. INTRODUCTION
The all engine operating holding data are provided for typical holding altitudes as a function of
airplane gross weight for 225 KIAS and minimum drag (VMD) speeds. The holding data are
presented in tabular form and are based on the use of power for level flight without exceeding
maximum cruise thrust (MXCR) with normal air-conditioning on and anti-ice off.
The following data are presented for each speed at pressure altitudes varying from 1,500 ft to
31,000 ft at −10, 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20°C temperature deviations from ISA:
• % N1 : Fan speed setting in percent
• FUEL FLOW : Fuel flow per engine in pounds per hour
• IAS : Indicated airspeed in knots
The fuel flow is based on linear holding (0° bank angle). For non-linear holding, fan speed setting
(% N1) and fuel flow correction factors are given for airplane bank angles ranging from 0° to 30°.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Airplane gross weight = 30,000 lb
Holding altitude = 5,000 ft
Temperature deviation = ISA + 5°C
Holding speed = VMD
Bank angle = 20°
Using Page 1 of Figure 04−11−9, the following are obtained:
Fan speed setting = 48.8% N1
Fuel flow per engine = 679 lb/hr
indicated airspeed = 162 kts
On Figure 04−11−13, enter the chart with the target bank angle and speed and read N1 and fuel
flow correction factors in percent:
Δ N1 = 2.8% (A)
Δ Fuel flow = 6.7% (B)
The corrected N1 and fuel flow values at a 20° bank angle are:
% N1 = 50.2% (48.8 X 1.028)
Fuel flow = 725 lb/hr (679 X 1.067) Linear Holding – Bank Angle

1. INTRODUCTION
This section provides performance data to be used in the event of an engine failure during flight.
More specifically, it includes driftdown, altitude selection, specific air range, cruise control,
descent and holding data.
1. INTRODUCTION
In the event of an engine failure during flight, a descent to a lower altitude must be expected, and
the driftdown procedure should be selected. This requires maximum continuous thrust (MCT) on
the remaining engine and a speed selected by the operator.
Different speeds may be used for the driftdown procedure depending on the operational
condition. Driftdown data is provided for the following speed schedules:
• AFM Driftdown Speed
This speed, referred to as the enroute climb speed in the AFM, is close to the best lift-to-drag
ratio and is used to maintain the highest possible flight level. This speed must be used if a
terrain problem exists. It must be noted that the data presented is gross (actual) driftdown
data, but terrain clearance must be verified using the net (degraded) performance data
presented in the CL–604/605 Airplane Flight Manual, PSP 604–1 or PSP 605–1.
• High Speed Driftdown
Two speed schedules are provided for high speed driftdown:
• 0.72 MI / 300 KIAS:
This speed may be used to minimize the time to reach an airport when no terrain
clearance problems exist. This speed also maximizes the distance that can be covered
within a specific period of time after engine failure. It can be used to determine the
maximum distance covered in 180 minutes after an engine failure, which may be needed
to ensure an airplane operates in non-ETOPS conditions, under certain operating rules.
The level-off altitude achieved with this speed schedule is significantly lower than that
achieved with the AFM driftdown speed.
• 0.72 MI / 260 KIAS:
This speed may also be used when no terrain clearance problems exist. It results in a
slightly longer time to reach an airport, or a shorter distance covered within a specific
period of time, than the 0.72 MI / 300 KIAS schedule, but it results in better fuel mileage.
The level-off altitude achieved is also greater than that achieved with the
0.72 MI / 300 KIAS schedule.
The performance data presented in this chapter are based on the use of maximum continuous
thrust with air-conditioning on (one pack in high mode) and anti-ice off. Maximum continuous
power setting charts are provided in the CL–604/605 Airplane Flight Manual, PSP 604–1 or
PSP 605–1.
If after having reached the driftdown ceiling altitude and an obstacle problem exists, the driftdown
procedure is maintained to fly an ascending cruise. If after driftdown and no obstacle problem
exists, the subsequent cruise should be made using either the long range cruise (LRC) speed
with power for level flight or at maximum cruise speed with MCT.
DFP0502_001
Airworthiness regulations require that terrain clearance flight planning be based on the net
performance, which is the actual gradient performance degraded by 1.1%. The certified
enroute net ceiling data are given in the CL−604/605 Airplane Flight Manual, PSP 604–1 or
PSP 605–1.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Gross weight at engine failure = 36,000 lb
Initial cruise altitude = 41,000 ft
Temperature deviation = ISA + 10°C
Average wind = −30 kt (headwind)
Using page 1 of Figure 05−03−5, the following data are obtained:
Time to level-off altitude = 43.5 min
Air distance = 228 NAM
Fuel consumed = 975 lb
Level-off pressure altitude = 28,758 ft
In wind conditions, the ground distance can be derived using the following equation:
Ground Distance = Air Distance + (Time X Wind)
Wind = ‘‘+’’ for tailwind and ‘‘−’’ for headwind.
For the associated conditions above:
Ground distance = 228 + (43.5 / 60 X − 30)
= 206.3 NM

1. INTRODUCTION
The gross ceiling is presented at long range cruise speed (LRC) as a function of aircraft gross
weight for various temperatures and zero wind conditions. The data are based on single engine
operation at maximum continuous thrust (MCT), with air-conditioning on (one pack in high mode)
and anti-ice off or on.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Gross weight = 42,000 lb
Long range cruise speed = 0.53 MI*
Temperature deviation = ISA
Airplane rate of climb = 0 fpm (gross ceiling)
Using Figure 05−04−1, the gross ceiling for the above associated conditions is 21,100 ft (A).
* The long range cruise Mach number is obtained by interpolation using the Specific Air Range
charts (See section 05 of this Chapter).

1. INTRODUCTION
The single engine operation specific air range (SAR) values are presented versus Mach number,
as a function of airplane gross weight for pressure altitudes ranging from 1,500 ft to 31,000 ft.
The data are presented for the speed range from the minimum drag speed (VMD) up to the speed
for maximum continuous thrust (MCT) or the VMO/MMo speed, whichever is limiting.
The graphs are calculated for zero wind and ISA with high air-conditioning on and anti-ice off. A
correction factor is given on each graph for non-standard day temperature conditions.
Maneuver margin lines are not presented since the VMD speed is always in excess of 0.3 ‘g’ (See
General Cruise Speed chart). On each SAR chart, lines are shown indicating the maximum SAR
values (maximum cruise range) and the 99% maximum SAR values (defining the long range
cruise Mach number).
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Gross weight = 40,000 lb
Pressure altitude = 1,500 ft
Temperature deviation = ISA + 5°C
Cruise speed = 0.41 MI
Using Figure 05−05−1, the following data are obtained:
Specific air range (ISA) = 0.1362 NAM/lb (A)
Specific air range (ISA + 5°C) = 0.1362 − (0.6% of SAR per 10°C above ISA)
= 0.1362 − (0.003 X 0.1362)
= 0.1358
True airspeed = 272 kt (B)

1. INTRODUCTION
The primary purpose of the cruise control data is to establish a target fan speed setting (% N1) for
a selected cruise speed schedule at a given pressure altitude, temperature and airplane gross
weight combination. The single engine operation cruise control data are presented in tabular form
and are based on the use of power for level flight without exceeding maximum continuous thrust
(MCT) or VMO/MMO speed, whichever is limiting, with high air-conditioning on and anti-ice off.
The cruise control tables are provided for LRC (long range cruise speed), MRC (maximum range
cruise speed) and maximum cruise speed (level flight maximum cruise speed at MCT). Data are
shown for pressure altitudes starting at 5,000 ft to 31,000 ft for −10, 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20°C
temperature deviations from ISA.
The following information is provided:
• % N1 : Fan speed setting in percent
• LB/HR/ENG : Fuel flow in pounds per hour (single engine)
• NAM/lb : Specific air range in NAM/lb
• MACH : Indicated Mach number
• KIAS : Indicated airspeed in knots
• KTAS : True airspeed in knots
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Airplane gross weight = 36,000 lb
Pressure altitude = 15,000 ft
Temperature conditions = ISA + 5°C
Cruise speed = LRC
Using Page 1 of Figure 05−06−3, the following data are obtained:
Fan speed setting (N1) = 83.2%
Fuel flow = 1,594 lb/hr
Specific air range = 0.1819 NAM/lb
Indicated Mach number = 0.459 MI
Indicated airspeed = 230 kt
True airspeed = 290 kt

1. INTRODUCTION
Single engine operation descent data are presented in tabulated form as a function of airplane
gross weight during a descent from altitude to sea level for various temperature conditions.
Descent data are presented for a 0.78 MI/300/250 KIAS descent speed schedule.
Data are based on a descent with the remaining engine set at idle power, with high
air-conditioning on and anti-ice off. The descent schedule incorporates the ATC speed limitation
of 250 KIAS below 10,000 ft. No airplane rate of descent limitation is assumed.
The following data are presented as a function of initial descent weight for −10, 0, 10, and 20°C
temperature deviations from ISA:
• TIME : Time in minutes
• DIST : Air distance in nautical air miles
• FUEL : Fuel consumed in pounds
• MACH : Indicated Mach number
• ATAS : Average true airspeed in knots
• ROD : Rate of descent in fpm
At a selected descent speed schedule, the table is entered at an initial descent weight with
average temperature conditions at given initial and final descent altitudes. Descent time, distance
and fuel consumed are the differences between the values read at the initial and final altitudes.
Airplane rate of descent and indicated Mach number at altitude are also given.
The descent distance represents the air distance (zero wind) covered and ATAS represents the
average true airspeed from sea level to the point at which the top of descent altitude is reached.
In wind conditions, the ground distance can be derived using the following equation:
Ground Distance = [ Air Distance X (ATAS ± Wind*) / ATAS ]
*(Wind : ‘‘+’’ for tailwind and ‘‘−’’ for headwind.)
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Initial descent weight at altitude = 36,000 lb
Initial cruise altitude = 41,000 ft
Descent speed schedule = 0.78 MI/300/250 KIAS
Average descent temperature = ISA + 10°C
Average wind = −30 kt (headwind)
Final altitude = Sea level
Using Page 1 Figure 05−07−3, the following data are obtained:
Time = 15.3 min
Air distance = 93.1 NM
Average true airspeed = 365 kt
Ground distance = 85.4 NM [ 93.1 X (365 − 30) / 365 ]
Fuel consumed = 105 lb

1. INTRODUCTION
Single engine operation holding data are provided for typical holding altitudes as a function of
airplane gross weight for 225 KIAS and minimum drag (VMD) speeds. The holding data are
presented in tabular form and are based on the use of power for level flight on the remaining
engine, without exceeding maximum continuous thrust (MCT) with high air-conditioning on and
anti-ice off.
The following data are presented for each speed at pressure altitudes varying from 1,500 ft to
31,000 ft at −10, 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20°C temperature deviations from ISA:
• % N1 : Fan speed setting in percent
• FUEL FLOW : Fuel flow of operating engine, in pounds per hour
• IAS : Indicated airspeed in knots
The fuel flow is based on linear holding (0° bank angle). For non-linear holding, fan speed setting
(% N1) and fuel flow correction factors are given for airplane bank angles ranging from 0° to 30°.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Airplane gross weight = 30,000 lb
Holding altitude = 5,000 ft
Temperature deviation = ISA + 5°C
Holding speed = VMD
Bank angle = 20°
Using Page 1 of Figure 05−08−9, the following are obtained:
Fan speed setting = 62.6% N1
Fuel flow = 1,088 lb/hr (of operating engine)
indicated airspeed = 162 kts
On Figure 05−08−13, enter the chart with the target bank angle and speed and read N1 and fuel
flow correction factors in percent:
Δ N1 = 3.8% (A)
Δ Fuel flow = 9.4% (B)
The corrected N1 and fuel flow values at a 20° bank angle are:
% N1 = 65.0% (62.6 X 1.038)
Fuel flow = 1,190 lb/hr (1,088 X 1.094)

1. INTRODUCTION
Emergency descent data are presented as a function of airplane gross weight, during a descent
from altitude to sea level.
A. All Engines Operating or One Engine Out
Descent profile assumes idle thrust (two engines or single engine) with air-conditioning on
and anti-ice off, during a descent at MMO/VMO with flight spoilers extended.
The following descent data are presented in tabular form as a function of initial descent
weight at altitude, for ISA temperature conditions:
• TIME : Time in minutes
• DIST : Air distance in nautical air miles
• FUEL : Fuel consumed in pounds
• MACH : Indicated Mach number
• ATAS : Average true airspeed in knots
• ROD : Rate of descent at altitude in fpm
At a selected descent speed schedule, the table is entered at an initial descent weight at
given initial and final descent altitudes. Descent time and fuel consumed are the differences
between the values read at the initial and final altitudes. Airplane rate of descent and true
Mach number at altitude are also given.
The descent distance represents the air distance (zero wind) covered and ATAS represents
the average true airspeed from sea level to the point at which the top of descent altitude is
reached. In wind conditions, the ground distance can be derived using the following equation:
Ground Distance = [ Air Distance X (ATAS ± Wind*) / ATAS ]
*(Wind :‘‘+’’ for tailwind and ‘‘−’’ for headwind.)
Example:
Associated Conditions:
For a single engine emergency descent:
Initial descent weight at altitude = 36,000 lb
Initial cruise altitude = 41,000 ft
Descent speed schedule = VMO/MMO
Average wind = −30 kt (headwind)
Final altitude = Sea level

1. INTRODUCTION
This section provides two engine performance data to be used for calculation of detailed flight
plans for landing gear operations (pressure altitude of 20,000 ft and below).
The performance information includes:
• Climb performance tabulated data and climb ceiling chart,
• Cruise control tabulated data,
• Descent tabulated data, and
• Holding tabulated data and bank correction chart.
All performance data presented in this chapter is based on a center of gravity location of 30% of
the mean aerodynamic chord with normal air conditioning on and anti-ice off, unless otherwise
noted.
It is permitted to interpolate linearly between aircraft weight, altitude and/or temperature values
given in the tables. Shaded areas distinguish several variables by column.
2. CLIMB PERFORMANCE
The all engine operating data with landing gear down is presented in tabular form as a function of
initial climb weight for −10°, 0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and 20°C temperature deviation from ISA. The data is
based on the use of maximum climb thrust, a speed of 250 KIAS, with normal air conditioning on
and anti-ice off. The speed of 250 KIAS is the maximum landing gear extended speed (VLE).
All of the charts use sea level as the altitude at the start of the climb.
Climb performance tables show the following data:
• TIME : Time in minutes
• DIST : Air distance in nautical air miles
• FUEL : Fuel consumed in pounds
• MACH : Indicated Mach number
• ATAS : Average true airspeed in knots
• ROC : Rate of climb at altitude in fpm
The table is entered at an initial climb weight with average temperature conditions at given initial
and final climb altitudes. Climb time, distance and fuel consumed are the differences between the
values read at the initial and final altitudes. Airplane rate of climb and indicated Mach number at
altitude are also given.
The climb distance represents the air distance (zero wind) covered, and ATAS represents the
average true airspeed from sea level to the point at which the top of climb altitude is reached. In
wind conditions, the ground distance can be derived using the following equation:
Ground Distance = [ Air Distance X (ATAS ± Wind*) / ATAS ]
*(Wind : ‘‘+’’ for tailwind and ‘‘−’’ for headwind.)
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Initial climb weight at sea level = 46,000 lb
Initial climb altitude = 1,500 ft
Climb speed schedule = 250 KIAS
Average climb temperature = ISA + 5°C
Average wind = –30 kt (headwind)
Final altitude = 20,000 ft
Using Figure 06−03−3, the following are obtained:
Initial altitude of 1,500 ft:
Time to 1,500 ft = 0.6 min
Air distance to 1,500 ft = 2.4 NM
Avg true airspeed to 1,500 ft = 253 kt
Ground distance to 1,500 ft = 2.2 NM [ 2.4 X (253 – 30) / 253 ]
Fuel consumed to 1,500 ft = 58 lb
Final altitude of 20,000 ft:
Time to 20,000 ft = 13.9 min
Air distance to 20,000 ft = 70.3 NM
Avg true airspeed to 20,000 ft = 304 kt
Ground distance to 20,000 ft = 63.4 NM [ 70.3 X (304 − 30) / 304 ]
Fuel consumed to 20,000 ft = 1,124 lb
Climb time, distance and fuel consumed between 1,500 ft and 20,000 ft pressure altitudes are
obtained as follows:
Time = 13.3 min (13.9 – 0.6)
Ground distance = 61.2 NM (63.4 – 2.2)
Fuel consumed = 1,066 lb (1124 – 58)

3. CRUISE PERFORMANCE
The primary purpose of the cruise control data with landing gear down is to establish a target
thrust setting (% N1) for a selected cruise speed of 250 KIAS at a given pressure altitude (not
exceeding 20,000 ft), ambient temperature and aircraft weight combination. The all engine cruise
control data is presented in tabular form, and is based on the use of power for level flight (not
exceeding maximum cruise thrust) with normal air conditioning on and anti-ice off.
The all engine operating cruise control data is tabulated for a speed of 250 KIAS. Data is shown

4. DESCENT PERFORMANCE
The all engine operating data with the landing gear down is presented in tabular form as a
function of aircraft weight during a descent from altitude to sea level for −10°, 0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and
20°C temperature deviation from ISA. The data is based on the use of idle power, a descent
speed schedule of 250 KIAS, with normal air conditioning on and anti-ice off. The speed of
250 KIAS is the maximum landing gear extended speed (VLE).
Where applicable, the airplane rate of descent has been limited to 3,000 fpm (rate of descent
shown in bold) to meet NBAA operational rules.
Descent performance graphs show the following data:
• TIME : Time in minutes
• DIST : Air distance in nautical air miles
• FUEL : Fuel consumed in pounds
• MACH : Indicated Mach number
• ATAS : Average true airspeed in knots
• ROD : Rate of descent in fpm
The table is entered at an initial descent weight with average temperature conditions at given
initial and final descent altitudes. Descent time, distance and fuel consumed are the differences
between the values read at the initial and final altitudes. Airplane rate of descent and indicated
Mach number at altitude are also given.
The descent distance represents the air distance (zero wind) covered and ATAS represents the
average true airspeed from sea level to the point at which the top of descent altitude is reached.
In wind conditions, the ground distance can be derived using the following equation:
Ground Distance = [ Air Distance X (ATAS ± Wind*) / ATAS ]
*(Wind : ‘‘+’’ for tailwind and ‘‘−’’ for headwind.)
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Initial descent weight at altitude = 36,000 lb
Initial cruise altitude = 20,000 ft
Descent speed schedule = 250 KIAS
Average descent temperature = ISA + 10°C
Average wind = −30 kt (headwind)
Final altitude = 1,500 ft
Using Figure 06−03−17, the following data are obtained:
Initial cruise altitude of 20,000 ft:
Time from 20,000 ft = 6.9 min
Air distance from 20,000 ft = 33.9 NM
Avg true airspeed from 20,000 ft = 294 kt
Ground distance from 20,000 ft = 30.4 NM [ 33.9 X (294 − 30) / 294 ]
Fuel consumed from 20,000 ft = 161 lb
Final altitude of 1,500 ft:
Time from 1,500 ft = 0.5 min
Air distance from 1,500 ft = 2.2 NM
Avg true airspeed from 1,500 ft = 255 kt
Ground distance from 1,500 ft = 1.9 NM [ 2.2 X (255 − 30) / 255 ]
Fuel consumed from 1,500 ft = 11 lb
Descent time, distance and fuel consumed between 20,000 ft and 1,500 ft pressure altitudes
are obtained as follows:
Time = 6.4 min (6.9 − 0.5)
Ground distance = 28.5 NM (30.4 − 1.9)
Fuel consumed = 150 lb (161− 11)

5. HOLDING PERFORMANCE
The primary purpose of the holding data with landing gear down is to establish a target thrust
setting (% N1) for a selected cruise speed of 250 KIAS at a given pressure altitude (not
exceeding 20,000 ft), ambient temperature and aircraft weight combination. The all engine
holding data is presented in tabular form, and is based on the use of power for flight level (not
exceeding maximum cruise thrust) with normal air conditioning on and anti-ice off.
The all engine operating holding data with landing gear down is tabulated for a speed of
250 KIAS. Data is shown for pressure altitudes from 1,500 to 20,000 ft, and for −10°, 0°, 5°, 10°,
15° and 20°C temperature deviation from ISA.
Holding performance tables show the following data:
• % N1 : Fan speed setting in percent
• FUEL FLOW : Fuel flow per engine in pounds per hour
• IAS : Indicated airspeed in knots
The fuel flow is based on linear holding (0° bank angle). For non-linear holding, fan speed setting
(% N1) and fuel flow correction factors are given for airplane bank angles ranging from 0° to 30°.
Example:
Associated Conditions:
Airplane gross weight = 30,000 lb
Holding altitude = 5,000 ft
Temperature deviation = ISA + 5°C
Holding speed = 250 KIAS
Bank angle = 20°
Using Figure 06−03−22, the following are obtained:
Fan speed setting = 76.1% N1
Fuel flow per engine = 1,696 lb/hr
On Figure 06−03−26, enter the chart with the target bank angle and speed, and read N1 and
fuel flow correction factors in percent:
Δ N1 = 0.94% (A)
Δ Fuel flow = 2.20% (B)
The corrected N1 and fuel flow values at a 20° bank angle are:
% N1 = 76.8% (76.1 X 1.0094)
Fuel flow = 1,733 lb/hr (1,696 X 1.0220) Linear Holding –
