    The document discusses ceilings and time to climb calculations for propeller-driven airplanes. It defines absolute ceiling as the maximum altitude an airplane can maintain level flight and service ceiling as the altitude where an airplane can climb no faster than 100 feet per minute. Formulas are provided to calculate ceiling and time to climb to a given altitude based on an airplane's rate of climb at sea level. Two examples demonstrate using the formulas to find service ceiling, absolute ceiling, and time to climb to specified altitudes.

    Where:
    H = absolute ceiling
    HS= service ceiling
    R.C.0 = rate of climb at sea level
    h = any altitude
    R.C.h = rate of climb at any altitude, h

    Absolute Ceiling - the maximum altitude above sea level at which a given airplane would be able to
    maintain horizontal flight under air condition.
    - the altitude where the rate of climb is zero.

    Service Ceiling - the altitude above sea level, under air conditions, at which a given airplane is unable to
    climb faster than a small specified rate.
    - the altitude where the rate of climb is 100 ft per minute.
