Aircraft performance covers areas such as the amount of runway required to takeoff or land and how fast an airplane can climb or descend. It is a very important aspect of flight planning that needs to be evaluated before every flight.

Use this tag for:

• General questions about how performance numbers are calculated
• Questions about how performance is affected by various factors (temperature, wind, etc.)
• Questions about specific aircraft performance (how much runway does xxx use for takeoff)
• Questions comparing the performance of different types of aircraft
