Flight General
Performance
22. 45 General
Unless otherwise prescribed, the performance requirements of this Part. must be met for
still air and a standard atmosphere, at sea level (See AC 22. 45).
22. 51 Take-off
(a) The distance required to take-off from a dry, level, hard surface and climb over a 15
meters obstacle must be determined and must not exceed 500 meters.
(b) This must be determined, in a rational and conservative manner, with:
22. 65 Climbs
The steady rate of climb must be at least 2m/sec with -
(a) Not more than take - off power;
(b) Landing gear retracted.
(c) Wing flaps in take-off position; and
(d) Cowl flaps in the position used in the cooling tests.
22. 75 Landing
The horizontal distance necessary to land and come to a complete stop (or to a speed of
approximately 3 knots for water landings of seaplanes and amphibians) from a point 15
m above the landing surface must be determined as follows:
(a) A steady gliding approach with a calibrated airspeed of at least 1.3 Vs1, must be
maintained down to the 15 m height.
(b) The landing must be made without excessive vertical acceleration or tendency to
bounce, nose over, ground loop, porpoise or water loop.
(c) It must be shown that a safe transition to the balked landing conditions of 22.77 can
be made from the conditions that exist at the 15-m height.
Flight Characteristics
Trim
Stability
Stalls
(b) For an airplane with interconnected lateral and directional controls (2 controls) and
for an airplane with only one of these controls, it must be possible to produce and
correct roll by unreserved use of the rolling control without producing excessive
yaw, up to the time the airplane stalls.
(c) The wing level stall characteristics of the airplane must be demonstrated in flight as
follows: The airplane speed must be reduced with the elevator control until the speed
is slightly above the stalling speed, then the elevator control must be pulled back so
that the rate of speed reduction will not exceed one knot per second until a stall is
produced, as shown by an uncontrollable downward pitching motion of the airplane,
