The new European Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs) lay down rules
governing the minimum levels of performance which must be attained
by every type of public transport aeroplane. These rules cover
matters such as weight, altitude and temperature, take-off and
landing distance, cruise flight level and speed, and descent angle
and rate.
The subject of aircraft performance forms an important part of
all JAR Flight Crew Licensing examinations for commercial and
airline transport pilot licences, and this book provides a clear
but authoritative text on a difficult topic. It will also be of
interest to commercial pilots needing to upgrade their annual
ground test to JAR standards, and to flight planners, operations
controllers and airport operators.
