Limitations <strong>of</strong> P-R Diagram InformationA note <strong>of</strong> caution about payload range diagrams is that they onlyapply to a given set <strong>of</strong> flight conditions.For example, the previous Payload-Range diagram is only applicableto zero wind conditions, 0.84 Mach, standard day conditions (e.g.,standard atmosphere) and <strong>Air</strong> Transport Association (ATA) domesticfuel reserves (this implies enough fuel to fly 1.25 hours at economyspeed at the destination point).If any <strong>of</strong> these conditions changes so does the payload-rangediagram. Later on we examine the sensitivity <strong>of</strong> Range to variousother conditions.Virginia Tech - <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Laboratory 87
