PERFORMANCE T.Q. IC-130B-1--1 is the predominant performance


CRARTS chart..publication... However, the Dash 1 must be
consulted in conjunction with the 3. Dash 1. Many
limitations, mission procedures, and configurations
are located throughout the Dash 1, thus making it
essential to consult both publications when
computing aircraft performance, or determining
flight configurations and restrictions. Further
restrictions may be found in various cornmand
directives (e.g., MACR 55-130). This segment will
cover the purpose of performance charts and some
of the terms and items found on these charts.

PURPOSE The performance charts are reguired to plan


complete missions, from takeoff to landing, for
normally encountered operating conditions. The
perforinance is based on operating procedures and
conditions which are explained either in the text
or on the chart itself. It is critical to become
familiar with the text explaining each chart prior
to entering it to determine performance data.
These operating procedures and conditions are
consistent tdith those presented in the Dash 1 as
normal procedures in Section II, the emergency
procedures in Section III, and the all weather
procedures in Section IX.

LIMITATIONS Limitation data for each aircraft series is based


on the results of a Category II flight test with
T56—A-7 engines and Hamilton Standard 54H60—91
propellers. Data for 100 percent and 95 percent of
engine rated power output is presented in the
charts. The engine power output values are based
on the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) standard atmosphere values, JP-4 fuel at 6.5
pounds per gailon with a heat value of 18,650 BTU
per pound with engines operating at 100 percent
rated rpm (13,820 rpm). Bear in mmd that if the
ajrcraft is refueled with an alternate fuel, it
will have an ef±ect on aircraft performance. tio

POWER AND Charts for torque, fuel f 10w, and bleed air
FUEL FLOW corrections are presented in Part 2. The basic

policy is to use the 95 percent grid une. The
charts on engine torque and fuel fiow are for any
combination of altitude, airspeed, temperature, and
TIT when engine bleed condition is normal.
Normal bieed condition is when ali four engines are
operating, the Engine Bieed Switch is in the
OPEN position, air conditioning and pressurization
are on, and anti-icing is not required.
The term “ali bleed on” is when the Engine Bieed
Switch is in the OPEN pos ition, air conditioning and
pressurization are on, and anti-icina is reguired.

TORQUE The Takeoff Torque Setting Chart in Chapter 3 of


the 1 Dash 1 shows the indicated torque that is
expected when the throttles are placed to maximum
power (which is a rating of 971 degrees
centigrade). The torque values on the chart are
for zero airspeed with the air conditioning and
pressurization bleed on. As the speed of the
aircraft increases, there is a corresponding rise
in torque. This rise in torque is caused by a raiu
pressure increase in the inlet De the engine. In
the upper right section of the chart, a note lists
the increases you may expect due to the rarn rise in
the iniet pressure. If takeoff performance is
critical, you shouid perform a static power check
to determine if the predicted torque is available
prior to brake release. If torque computed for
takeoff is not obtained, the takeoff shouid be
aborted. If the takeoff is iimited by critical
field iength or obstacie clearance, or if you’re
making a maxirnum effort takeoff, ali bieed air
systems should be turned off.

RCR The runway condition reading, which is commoniy


referred to as RCR, is a vaiue relating the average
braking effectiveness of the particular runway
surf ace to the braking capabiJ.ity of the aircraft.
When the RCR is less than “good,” it becomes a
factor in aircraft perforinance and aiso affects
critical field length and refusai speed. Many
cjvjlian fields use the ICAQ tens for RCR such as
good, medium, and poor to designate the braking
action on the runway surface. If an RCR vaiue is
not available, use the foiiowin~ aigorithsn. If
the runway condition is dry or if the ICAO Report
is good, then the RCR is equa]. to 23. IC the
runway condition is wet or if the ICAO Report is
medium, the RCR is equai to 12. If the runway
condition is icy or if the ICAC Report is poor,
then the RCR is equal to five.

E
RSC Runway surface condition, or RSC, is a value that
relates to the depth and tha type of runway
covering, such as slush or water. It is reported
in tenths—of—an—inch, and 1 inch is relayed as an
RSC of ten. The RSC affects both the acceleration
and stopping performance of the aircraft and is
therefore a factor in deteriuining takeoff ground
run, critical field length, and refusal speed. For
operation in loose, dry snow (snow that will drift
in a 10—knot wind), enter charts with a depth of
RSC equal to 1/3 actual depth. This factor is
applicable only for depths of loose, dry snow up to
3 inches.
[
[
WIND Steady wind value is the reported steady wind,
while the gust increment is the reported wind in
excess of steady wind value. Component wind is the
effective wind parailel to, or across, the runway.
Head wind is also effective wind parailel to the
runway (opposite direction) but is determined from
the steady wind value. On the other hand, tail wind
is e! fective wind parallel to the runway determined
f tom the steady wind value plus the gust increment.
Crosswind is effective wind across the runway
determined f tom the steady wind value pius the gust
increment. [
Winds are usually rneasured at some fixed point on
the airfield and are valid for the point where they
are measured. If the airfield is located in an
area of variable terrain, it is possible for the
winds to vary over different parts of the airfield.
It is recoinmended that 50 percent of the head wind
component and 150 percent of the tail wind component
be used when applying winds. Gusts may cause a
temporary increase in airspeed; therefore,
rotation, takeoff, threshcld, approach and
touchdown speeds should be increased by the fuil
gust increment, not to exceed 10 knots.

WIND (CONT) Any benefits gained by head winds should be taken as


a niargin of safety. The head wind shouid oniy be
considered when necessary for mission
accomplishment. However, always apply head winds
and tail winds when computing the acceleration time
check. Whenever you use the head wind or tail wind
component, ali distances and speed, except rotation
speed and minimuxn control speed, must be corrected
during takeoff planning. Figure 3—11 in the 1 Dash
1 presents the head wind and crosswind components in
knots for wind directions of zero to 90 degrees
f tom runway heading and for wind speeds up to 60
knots. For a crosswind component greater than 35
knots, a high degree of skili is necessary for
crosswind correction and you would be operating in
the not recommended zone of the chart. If the
takeoff speed and the crosswind component fali
within the caution zone, the takeoff speed shouid
be increased unti]. the recoxnmended area is reached
or until the airspeed has been increased by 10
knots. If the recomxuended area has not been
reached by increasing airspeed by 10 knots, extreme
caution should be exercised during the takeoff.

The Maximum Recommended Crosswind for Takeoff


Chart in Chapter 3 presents the maximum
recornmended crosswind that can be subjected to the
aircraft on the ground with 50 percent fiaps and
maximum thrust on ali four engines and stili
maintain directional control.

CRITICAL C4tical field length is defined as the total


FIELO LENGTH runway distance required to accelerate on ali
engines to critical engine failure speed,
experience an engine faiiure, then continue the
takeoff or stop. For normal operations, the
criticai field length must be no greater than the
runway length available.

Criticai field length, both normal and reduced


power, is obtained f tom Chapter 3 of the 1 Dash
1. Remember, if criticai field length exceeds
usable runway iength, maximusn effort data shouid be
computed. Aiso be aware that using reduced power will
increase criticai field length.

CLIMB—OUT The climb—out flight path is based on the aircraft
FLIGHT PATH accelerating te liftoff, with gear retraction
initiated within 3 seconds after liftoff while the
aircraft is cliinbing at obstacle clearance speed.
Af ter the gear is retracted, the aircraft
accelerates to flap retraction speed, at which time
flap retraction is initiated. After the flaps are
retracted, the aircraft accelerates to best climb
speed and continues te climb at that speed. The
climb—out flight path is affected by several
factors as shown in the following Notes.
NOTE [
For normal operations, planning a
takeoff and climb—out over an
obstacle should be done on the basis
of 3—engine performance te allow for
engine failure. [
NOTE

Use reduced power takeoff factor te


determine reduced power climb—out
[
factor.
NOTE

A correction should be made te the


height of an obstacle due te the
siope of the runway. The height of
an obstacle is the difference
between the altitude at the obstacle
and the altitude at the nearest end
of the runway. The correction te
the obstacle height is found by
subtracting the lift-off distance
from the runway available, and
multiplying the result by the
percent siope divided by 100. The
correction is added te the obstacle
height for uphill slope and
subtracted for downhill siope.

CLIMB-OUT NOTE
FLIGHT PATI-1
(CONT) For other than dry runway conditions
or with an uphi!1 siope, lift-off
distance is extended, resultin4 in
reduced inflight distance to the
obstacle. For this case it is
necessary, before entering the
chart, to decrease the known
distance from brake release to the
obstacle by the difference between
the actual ijft—off distance
(corrected for existing RSC, RCR,
and siope) and the lift—off distance
for dry levei runway. The lift-off
distance is the -critical field
length in the 3-engine case, and the
norma! takeoff ground rim in -the
4—engine case. The RCR factor does
not effect the 4-engine climb-out,
but does affect the 3—engine
ciimb-out. In determining corrected
takeoff distance for climb-out
flight path, do not apply a headwind
correction but aiways apply
taiiwind.

REFUSAL SPEED ~efusa1 speed is based on the runway available and


is •defined as the maximum speed to which the
aircraft can accelerate with engines at maximuin or
reduced power and then stop within the remainder of
the runway available, with two engines (symmetrical
power) in reverse, one engine in ground idie, one
propelier windmilling, and maximum anti-skid
braking. This correction factor is not valid if
wheels iock or tires skid. The 1 Dash 1 now
includes a correction grid in the event the
Anti—skid System is inoperative.

ACCELERATION The acceleration time check is used to determine if


TIME CHECK- there are factors which are- preventing the
aircraft f tom accelerating properly. Exampies
of thes~ factors are: dragging brakes, excess flap
deflection, and/or low power output. These and
other similar factors could cause a reduced rate of
acceleration. This check will normally be used
only when there is a refusal speed. The check will
normally be made at an even i0—knot increment speed
that falis between 60 and 120 knots. You wjll
normally use the highest speed that doesn’t exceed
refusal speed minus 10 knots. A 3—knot tolerance
is applied to the check speed to determine the
minimum acceptable airspeed. To check speed at any
variable point during ground run, use the Speed and
Distance During Ground Run Chart. This chart is
used prisnarily for corrections to the TOLD Card.
These corrections usually involve increases in
takeoff speed when temperature causes the minimum
control speed to become the takeoff speed.

REDUCED POWER Reduced power means that TIT is less than 971
TAXEOFE DATA degrees centigrade and torque is less than 19,600
inch-pounds. Minimum TIT for reduced power takeoff
is 850 degrees according to the 1 Dash 1. However,
the formal school is restricted to a minimum of 900
degrees TIT by MACR 55-130. Reduced power may be
used whenever maximum aircraft capability is not
required. Both takeoff and climb-out may be
accompiished at reduced power. The purpose of this
procedure is to minimize engine wear by maintaining
lower engine temperatures when maximum aircraft
performance is not required.

fuel. Depending on yaur. specific missian prafule,
step—climbing may be an effective method to extend
your range, especially at higher gross weights.
When considering executing the step-climb
procedure, extra fuel and time to climb to the next
higher altitude must be compared to the expected
fuei and/or time to be saved by cruising at the new
altitude.

ENDURANCE When considering maximizing endurance, the emphasis


shifts from haw fiar we can go to how iong we can
stay airborne. Our anaiysis wauld therefore
shift from getting the most distance firam each
unit af fuel ta getting the mast time out of
each unit of fuei. This cansideratian wauld be
more likely to come to the forefront ifi you were
perforining a search ar command and contrai mission
where time alaft ar time aver target was the utare
impartant consideration.

DRIFTDOWN If ane ar twa engines shauid fail during


four—engine cruise operatians, it may be necessary,
due to a lass of power, ta descend to a lawer
altitude. This forced descent is called driftdawn.
It is, as the terin implies, descending at a
controlled rate, under partial pawer conditions, to
a lawer altitude where the avaiiable engines will
again hald levei fhight. The service ceiling will
be reached first. It wiii pravide the highest
terrain clearance with sarne sacrifice in range. If
terrain clearance is not a coftsideratian, then
continuing descent to the cruise ceiling will
provide maximum range.

PENETRATION A penetration descent is nade in two parts. The
DESCENT first patt is. f tom enroute altitude to 20,000 feet
at speeds for maximum lift over drag with throttles
at flight idle and gear and flaps up. The second
part is from 20,000 feet to published minimum
altitude inbound to FA? at a constant 250 lUAS
throttles at flight idle gear and flaps up. The
penetration descent is designed to transition from.
an enroute high altitude arrival to position the
aircraft so as to execute an instrument approach to
a lariding runway.

RAPID The highest rates of descent are obtained by


DESCENT retarding throttles to flight idle and descending
at maximun dive speed with gear and flaps up.
At a slow airspeed the highest rates of descent are
obtained by retarding the throttles to flight idie,
lowering gear and full flaps, and descending
at 145 lUAS.

A comparison of these two procedures can be


obtained by reviewing the charts in Chapter 7 in
your 1 Dash 1. As an exampie, iet’s use an
aircraft weighing 120,000 pounds descending £ tom
20,000 feet pressure altitude and descend down to
sea levei. (Any other exaiuple would start at 20,000
pressure altitude and descend down to field
elevation, thus making our example the maximum
descent comparative possible.)
Looking first at the Rapid Descent at Dive Speed
Time and Distance Chart which depicts the
performance figures for rapid descent at maximum
allowable airspeed, we enter the Distance Chart at
the 20,000 pressure altitude point. We foilow the
guideiine vertically until it intersects the
120,000 gross weight une. Then, we follow to the
left margin, where we read the distance in nautical
miles traveled during the descent. We see-that the -

distance tr&veled is 20 nautical miles. Next,


let’s look at the chart at the top of the page and
compute the time required to make the descent.

follow the guideline to the left margin and read
the time required for the descent as 3.36 minutes.
Next, let’s look at the Rapid Descent With Fuli
Flaps Time and IDistance Chart and determine the
distance and time using the rapid descent at
145 lUAS (CONT) with gear down and flaps
100 percent procedure. Again, enter the chart at
the bottom and at 20,000 pressure altitude. Follow
the guideline une up te 120,000 gross weight, then
over te the left margin. We see that the distance
traveled is 22 nautical miles. Again, follow the
sarne procedure on the Time Chart: 20,000 pressure
altitude up to 120,000 gross weight over te the
left to read 7.8 minutes off the time une.
Dividing the total altitude lost by the time te
descend also reveals some interesting information.
Looking at the 145 TUAS gear and flap descent, we
have 20,000 divided by 7.8 minutes yields
2,564 feet per minute average descent rate. The
rapid descent at maxirnum allowable speed is
20,000 divided by 3.36 minutes yields 5,952 feet
per minute average descent rate.

MAXIMUM RANGE The maxirnum range descent is made at speeds for


DESCENT maximum lii t over drag with throttles at flight
idle and gear and flaps up. The maximum L/D speeds
are obtained from the Maximum Range Descent Speed
and Fuel Chart in Chapter 7 of the 1 Dash 1. tising
the sarne pararneters as in our previous descent
examples, we obtain 160 TUAS for an aircraft at
120,000 gross weight. You would descend at
160 LUAS at flight idle with gear and flaps up.
A guick comparative analysis using the charts
Maximum Range Descent Time and Distance .Ln Chapter
7 of the 1 Dash 1 with the sarne 20,000 pressure
altitude and 120,000 gross weight, we f ind that the
distance traveledin the descent is 40 nautical
miles and the time te descend is 13 minutes.

MAXIMUM RANGE Dividing the altitude of 20,000 by the time to


DESCENT descend 13 minutes yields 1,538 feet cer minute

to the linear graph we previously drew, we can
readily see that we have a substantially diffierent
descent profile.

Plotting the information we have extracted on a


linear graph (Figure 1) gives us a visual depiction
of the approximate average flight path of the
aircraft during the descent. You can readiiy see
that the flight profile is not very different in
spite of the extremes in configuration and speed

ENROUTE Although not addressed in the 1 Dash 1, perhaps one
DESCENT of the most often performed descent profiles is
referred to as an enroute descent. This TECIINIQUE
is performed by establishing a 1,000 to 1,500 feet
per minute rate of descent and reducing throttles
so as to maintain enroute airspeeds with gear and
flaps up. Some pilots set a torque setting equal
to one half of their enroute torque setting as a
power setting for the descent. Others just reduce
power and establish an indicated airspeed (which
[
will constantly increase as you descend in order to
maintain a constant enroute true airspeed) A good
bail park figure for airspeed control is an
approximate 4 knots per thousand feet increase.
The enroute descent may be the most confortable on
passengers and is routinely used; however, pilots
should understand that compared to the other
profiles presented it is the least fuel efficient.
You will no doubt discover rnany refinements to the
basic version of the enroute descent after you gain
more experience. This descent profile is a
TECHNIQUE only rather than an approved procedure.
A good understanding of the descent profiles and
their possible applications will serve you well as
you advance in the flying program. You will either
have a timely opportunity to extract most of the
other performance data from the charts ar, as is
the case of climb and enroute data, the flight
engineer ar the navigator will take primary
responsibility for computing it during the mission
planning and/or performance phase. The pilot,
however, will be faced with instant decisions upon
a rapid decompression at altitude or a loss of
power on one or more engines. Fie will also be
faced with instant decisions during other
situations. Qne is when he must descend to be
positioned to execute an instrument approach after
being held at altitude by ATC. Another situation
is when he must descend to be positioned to snake a
drop zone or landing zone to deliver a tactical
load. [

LANDING The charts depicting landing perforniance data are


presented in Part 8. Landing perforinance is
affected by many factors and really begins on final
approach. The aircraft configuration and speed on
approach carry on into the landing performance and
affect the landing distance required. Approach
speed is threshold speed plus 10 knots. Threshold
speed is a function of configuration and gross
weight. Since airspeeds are flown as indicated,
airspeed variances in altitude and temperature,
etc. are compensated for. Touchdown speed is
again a function of gross weight and configuration.
Maximuifi effort final approach and threshold speeds
are lower than normal final approach and threshold
speeds. However, touchdown speeds are the sarne for
both procedures. The threshold speed for normal
J.anding is 1.35 times the power-off stall speed and
the maximum effort threshold speed is 1.28 tirites
the power-off stall speed. The minimurn threshold
speed is limited to no lower than 106.5 lUAS.
Touchdown speeds are equal to 1.2 times the
power-off stall speeds. The minimum touchdown
speed is no lower than 98.5 for no flap and no
lower than 97 LUAS for 50 and 100 percent flaps.

Landing perforrnance is affected by increased


aircraft approach speeds due to gusting winds as
weli as head winds and tail winds. Qther factors
affecting landing performance are temperature, drag
index, type of brakes and brake pressure, number of
engines in reverse, runway condition reading (RCR),
runway sutface covering (RSC), and runway siope.
The aircraft is designed for 100 percent flap
landings, although variable flap settings rnay be
used for ali landings. Threshold speeds for 100,
50, and zero percent flap settings are shown in
Figure 8-3 in Part 8 of the 1 Dash 1. These speeds
are computed for a height ofi 50 feet above the
threshold of the runway to produce the landing
distances shown in later charts. Touchdown
speeds are the speeds at the initial point of
contact in a landing.
Touchdown speeds are shown for the three flap
settings, and these three settings are used for
calculating the ground—roll distances shown on the
Landing Distance Charts.

AIR NINIMUM Look closely at the air minimum control speeds

are encountered upon landing.

NOTE
When landing with one or two engines
inoperative, it is recornmended that
the inflight minimum control speed
be compared to the recommended
approach speed and the Iiigher of the
two speeds used.

CROSSWIND The wind chart in the landing section is exactly


LANDING like the wind chart in the takeoff sectjon. The
chart a.Llows you to convert the wjnd into
components. It also has an accompanying chart
which depicts tabulated data for maxiinum crosswind
components. These charts are in Chapter 8 in your
1 Dash 1. You may need to increase the touchdown
speed, by a maxiznum of 10 knots, in order to get
out of the caution area of the crosswjnd chart.
The maximum recommended crosswind is that wjnd in
which the aircraft can be subjected to on the
ground and still maintain directional control.

LANDING There are landing distance charts for the three


DISTANCE flap settings of 100, 50, and zero percent. This
data is presented as a function of outside air
temperature, pressure altitude, gross weight,
engine configuration, RCR, wind, and runway slope.

LANOING NOTE
o LSTANCE.
(CCNT) Should obstacles be located near the
end of the runway such that the
50—foot-height must be exceeded, the
effect of the additional height must
be considered. Since the effect is
not shown on the charts, sufficient
margin must be .allowed based on the
pilot’s judgment and experience.

Several other conditions may affect the ianding


distances. One condition is engine configuration,
such as four engines in reverse, two in ground idie
and two in reverse, ar four in ground idle. The
runway condition will also affect the distances due
to the increase in the graund reli because of wet
or icy runway surfaces. Runways covered with snow
have a variable brakirtg coefficient between wet and
icy. Any increase in touchdown speed also has an
effect on landing distances and must be taken into
consideration. The basic data found on the charts
assumes a zero wind and siope. Remember to correct
the landing distance and landing grcund rol]. if
landing speeds have been increased due te gusting
winds. For conditions other than those shown, the
landing distances may be estimated by using the
correction scales found on the charts.

MAC FORM 130 The MAC Form 130 (TOLD Card) is one of the
instruments of mission planning. Often the fina!
decision affecting the mission departure is
supported by the infonnation presented on the TOLD
Card. The safety of the aircraft and crew depend
on the accuracy of the information presented on
this form. Once the TOLD Card is completed, it
must be updated when pressure altitude changes by
1,000 feet, or gross weight changes by 5,000
pounds, or temperature changes by 5 degrees. This
requirement originates from paragraph 12-.8d,
MACR 55-130 and from a Note in the Dash 1 on
page 2-52. Study the TOLD Card presented as
Figure 5 and become familiar with its
requireinents/contents. The blocks of the TOLD Card
under the heading CONDITIONS are where the
information for your aircraft’s takeoff or landing
is assembled and your situation begins to take
form. Look at this block of the card for a moment
and the relationship of the information required
will become apparent. If any one of these facts is
missing, your computations cannot be completed

TAKEOFF The Takeoff Crosswind Chart presents head wind and


WINDS crosswind components in knots for wind direction of
zero to 90 degrees from the ruriway heading and wind
speed up to 60 knots. Notice that wind lines go
from zero to 60 knots and direction runs from zero
te 90 degrees.

Given: Takeoff runway 12, wind from 180 degrees at


20 knots gusting te 32 knots and a takeoff speed of
107 knots. Find: Runway cornponent, crosswind
component, and whether takeoff is in the
recommended zone at predicted takeoff speed. [
You should have determined that the wind angle was
60 degrees. [
Let’s return te the chart and follow through on the
procedure once more and carry it one step further.
We determine that the steady windcomponent is
10 knots and the crosswind component is 27.5 knots.
The crosswind component of 27.5 knots places us in
the caution zone. Our takeoff speed for this
problem was 107 knots. When you are in the caution
zone, you increase takeoff speed up te 10 knots in
an attempt to get out of the caution zone. Enter
the chart at the 27.5 knot point and follow the
une te the intersection of the 60 degree une and
the 107 knot point. From there, continue
vertically toward 117 knots, or 10 knots above our
original takeoff speed. You will notice that
117 knots is still in the caution area, 50 we would
increase our takeoff speed by the fui! 10 knots,
thus rnaking our new takeoff speed 117 knots.

At this peint, go back and recompute your takeoff


distances based on the new increased takeoff speed
of 117 knots.

TAKEOFF AND the explanatory inforniation in the front of


OBSTACLE Chapter 3 prior to using the charts. The Takeoff
CLEARANCE and Obstacle Clearance Speeds Chart has two areas
SPEEDS CHART of takeoff information: maximum effort information
(CQNT) in the lower portion of the chart and normal
takeoff speeds in the upper area.

For our chart performance problem we will use


C—130E, 143,000 gross weight, flaps 50 percent,
pressure altitude 4,000 feet, and OAT +25°C. FIND:
Normal takeoff and obstacle clearance speed,
air miniinum control speed, one engine inoperative,
in ground effect.

You should have computed air minimum control speed


to be 83.5 RIAS. This speed is less than the
takeoff speed (which was 111 RIAS) and also less
than the obstacle clearance speed (which was
124.5 RIAS). Therefore, the minimum control speed
is not limiting since it is lower than both the
takeoff speed and the obstacle clearance speed.

TAKEQFF Takeoff distance is the total distance required to


DISTANCE accelerate from brake release to takeoff speed,
lift of E and cliinb to a 50-foot height. This
distance is a function of gross weight, takeof E
factor, runway slope, wind, RSC, E lap setting, and
drag index.
NOTE

When computing reduced power takeoff


ground run/distance, use reduced
power takeof E factor.

Find the corrected takeoff ground run distance


given the following: C-130E, takeoff factor 1.81,
143,000 gross weight, + 2 percent uphill siope,
20 knât head wind, RSC 4.0, flaps 50 percent,
drag index + 80.

[ POWER
PROCEDURES takeoff and clintb—out
reduced power, TIT lessmay be accomplished
than 971 degrees C,at and
torque less than 19,600 inch—pounds. The purpose
of this procedure is to minimize engine wear when
aircraft performance is not critical. A TIT
setting of 850 degrees C is the minimum setting
recommended for takeoff unless maxiinuni allowable
torque of 19,600 inch-pounds will be exceeded. We
have looked at the computation of maxirnum ar normal
power. Now we will look at the differences between
computing normal power TOLD and computing reduced
power TOLD. Because these two methods of computing
TOLD are sosimilar, we will only address the
differences for each.

TORQUE Torque is obtained firam the Takeoff Torque Setting


Chart in the front ofi Chapter 3 of the 1 Dash 1
(both normal and reduced power information) .For
normal (maxintuni power), you pass through the TIT
information on the chart, and, for reduced power,
you hit the TIT baseline then follow the guideline
back down to the reduced power line then ga
vertically up the chart. From this paint, both
procedures are the sarne.
Find: torque per engine given C-1JOE, 100 percent
engines, pressure altitude 2,000 feet,
OAT +10 degrees C, TIT 900 degrees C.

You should have computed 12,500 inch—pounds of


torque per engine with normal bleeds.

In earlier portions of this lesson, we passed on


through the TIT baseline. This time we hit the
baseline and fallowed it down the guideline to our
reduced TIT ofi 900 degrees C, then vertically
again. From here on we used the sarne procedure as
the earlier one to compute normal torque.

Page 41 REV 5 01/10/91


PERFORMANCE DATA CIQ-4l8-10
WORFZBOOK C-130 ATS
05/16/89

TORQUE Let’s examine the procedure we just completed. Once


(CONT) again ehter the Takeoff Torque Setting Chart at
the bottom at +10 degrees C and followthe une
vertically to the 971 degrees C baseline. Then,
follow the guideline down to the 900 degrees C
une. At this point, stop for a moment and hold
your position on the chart. Continue te follow the
vertical une back down te the bottom edge and read
the temperature. You should read +39 degrees C.

This new temperature of +39 degrees C represents


the OAT that would produce the torgue of 12,500
inch-pounds at normal (or max) power. If we enter
the chart at the new temperature of +39 degrees C
and proceed as we would to find normal power
takeoff torque setting, we will compute the sarne
answer as when we started with +10 degrees C and
folJ.owed the reduced power procedure—— 12,500
inch—pounds.

Taking this reasoning process one step further, we


have just convinced the performance charts that the
OAT is +39 degrees C instead of +10 degrees C. In
other words, if the temperatura was really
+39 degrees C, then the max torgue the engines
would produce would be 12,500 inch—pounds.

TAICEOFF The reduced power takeoff factor is found on


FACTOR using a similar procedure. Once determined, this
reduced power takeoff factor may then be used for
determining critical field length, refusal speed,
climb-out factor for four—engine climb—out flight
path, normal takeoff distance, and four—engine
acceleration check time.

TIT Normally in MAC we would select either 900 degrees


C or 932 degrees C as our reduced power setting,
900 degrees C if we were going te stay local for a
pattern profile, or 932 degrees C if were going to
climb out and transition te another airport. [

LANDING The aircraft is designed for 100 percent flap


SPEEDS landings.. However, variable flap settings may be
(CDNT) used for ali landings. During landings with flap
settings less than 50 percent, caution must be
exercised. Because ef the high angle of attack at
touchdown, it is possible for the aft end of the
fuselage te contact the ground. There will be no
appreciable stall warning. Also, stali and float
characteristics due te 10w pitch stop are
unpredictable. However, landings with zero
percent flaps may be accomplished safely.
Landing speeds are divided into three segments:
approach, threshold, and touchdown. These segrnents
are pre5ented in flap configurations of 100, 50,
and zero percent. Landing speeds are computed from
Threshold and Touchdown Speed Charts in Chapter 8.
Find: approach, threshold, touchdown speeds,
landing distance frorn 50 feet, and landing ground
[
reli. Use the data given in Chapter 8, page 8-4.
You sheuld have determined the threshold speed to
be 129.5 KIAS. We get the approach speed by adding
[
10 krzots to the computed threshoid speed, thus
arriving at 139.5 KIAS. The touchdown speed
is 111.5. Normally when we compute takeoff or
approach speed te be any fraction of a knot, we
reund uo te the next whole knot when we make the
entry on the TOLD Card.
You should have cornputed the landing distance te be
5,550 feet and the landing greund rel.1 to be 3,250.

NOTE
Should obstacles located near the
end of the runway be such that the
50—foot height must be exceeded, the
effect of the additional height must
be considered. Because this
conditien is not covered by the
charts, sufficient margin must be
allowed based on the pilot’s
judgement and experience.
