ATPL 4th Edition workbook updates
DASH 8 performance chart
In the 4th edition of the ATPL workbook, the DASH 8 ATOG chart that affects computing the answers to questions 30 and 31 was inadvertently inserted as an older version. The new version of that chart is available here on the Web site.
To set the record straight, this is an actual Dash 8 take off performance chart. It was compiled by using the seven performance charts from the Dash 8 100 performance manual and obstacles/topography for Castlegar, B.C. This table has been used in line operations by Canadian Regional Airlines for many years and it is the type of operational chart that is or has been used by virtually every airline in the world for all transport category aircraft.
To understand how to work thru this chart or one’s similar to it, you have to have a good understanding of take off performance including the runway environment and the climb segments. We teach how to work thru the questions after an hour and half presentation on the material. Questions 28 and 29 are simple and straightforward but questions 30 and 31 are quite difficult and require a good working knowledge of large aircraft performance. As a hint for Q30, you have to look at both runway and airborne factors of the chart. For Q31, you have to look at the wind and altimeter corrections.
