* T.O. Factor for standard day power, Low Blower, 2900 RPM, Max. BMEP, (page A3-14, figure A-3-5). Used in flight performance graphs.
* Thrust Factor for standard day power, Low Blower, (A-3-15, figure A3-6). Used in flight performance graph calculations.
* Climb Performance Factor graph A3-32, figure A3-20 (Sheet 1 of 3) uses Thrust Factor to obtain Climb Performance Factor. Factor values are use other in flight performance graphs to calculate additional performance parameters under all possible conditions.
* Ground Run distance is for a standard day, no wind, level runway, and no obstacles (page A-30, figure A-3-18). To clear a 50-foot obstacle, add the appropriate distance from Obstacle Clearance Table 5 to the distance from the above table.
* Ground Run Acceleration, Distance, and Time can be calculated (page A-31, figure A3-19).
