Use of performance charts, tables, and data.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Use of performance charts, tables, and data.

Bottom line

The performance information in the AFM/POH has little or no value unless the user recognizes those variations and makes the necessary adjustments. Weight affects performance; therefore, pilots should calculate weight and remain within the manufacturer’s established limits at all times.
