Calibratedairspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere atsea Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on theairspeed indicator. The IAS values published in thishandbook assume no instrument True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knotsrelative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected foraltitude and Glide Speed is the speed at which the greatest flightdistance is attained per unit of altitude lost with power Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed atwhich application of full control movement will not overstressthe Flap Extended Speed is the highest speedpermissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended Structural Cruising Speed is the speed thatshould not be exceeded except in smooth air.

6 And then onlywith Exceed Speed is the speed that may not be exceededat any Demonstrated Parachute Deployment Speed isthe maximum speed at which parachute deployment hasbeen Speed is minimum steady flight speed at which theaircraft is 50%Stalling Speed is minimum steady flight speed at which theaircraft is controllable with 50% 2011P/N 13999-002 Info Manual1-9 CIRRUS DesignSection 1SR20 GeneralMeteorological TerminologyVSOS talling Speed is the minimum steady flight speed at whichthe aircraft is controllable in the landing configuration (100%flaps) at the most unfavorable weight and Angle of Climb Speed is the speed at which theairplane will obtain the highest altitude in a given horizontaldistance. The best angle-of-climb speed normally increasesslightly with Rate of Climb Speed is the speed at which theairplane will obtain the maximum increase in altitude per unitof time.

7 The best rate-of-climb speed decreases slightly Meteorological Conditions are meteorologicalconditions expressed in terms of visibility, distance fromcloud, and ceiling less than the minima for visual flightdefined in FAR Standard Atmosphere (standard day) is anatmosphere where (1) the air is a dry perfect gas, (2) thetemperature at sea level is 15 C, (3) the pressure at sealevel is ( millibars), and (4) thetemperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at whichthe temperature is C is C per foot and zeroabove that Sea Level is the average height of the surface of thesea for all stages of tide. In this Handbook, altitude given asMSL is the altitude above the mean sea level. It is thealtitude read from the altimeter when the altimeter sbarometric adjustment has been set to the altimeter settingobtained from ground meteorological Air Temperature is the free air static temperatureobtained from inflight temperature indications or from groundmeteorological sources.

8 It is expressed in either degreesCelsius or degrees 20111-10P/N 13999-002 Info ManualSection 1 CIRRUS DesignGeneralSR20 Engine Power TerminologyPerformance and Flight Planning Terminology Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from the altimeterwhen the altimeter s barometric adjustment has been set (1013 mb) corrected for position and instrumenterror. In this Handbook, altimeter instrument errors areassumed to be zero. Standard Temperature is the temperature that would befound at a given pressure altitude in the standardatmosphere. It is 15 C (59 F) at sea level pressure altitudeand decreases approximately 2 C ( F) for each 1000feet of altitude increase. See ISA is the power developed by the Continuous Power is the maximum power thatcan be used Pressure is the pressure measured in theengine s induction system expressed as in.

9 Per Minute is engine rotational speed. Static RPM is RPM attained during a full-throttle enginerunup when the airplane is on the ground and g is a quantity of acceleration equal to that of earth sgravity. Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of thecrosswind component for which adequate control of theairplane during taxi, takeoff, and landing was actuallydemonstrated during certification testing. Demonstratedcrosswind is not considered to be limiting. Service Ceiling is the maximum altitude at which theaircraft at maximum weight has the capability of climbing ata rate of 100 feet per Per Hour is the amount of fuel (in gallons)consumed by the aircraft per 2011P/N 13999-002 Info Manual1-11 CIRRUS DesignSection 1SR20 GeneralWeight and Balance TerminologyNMPGN autical Miles Per Gallon is the distance (in nautical miles)which can be expected per gallon of fuel consumed at aspecific engine power setting and/or flight configuration.

10 Unusable Fuel is the quantity of fuel that cannot be safelyused in flight. Usable Fuel is the fuel available for flight of Gravity is the point at which an airplane wouldbalance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datumis found by dividing the total moment by the total weight ofthe airplane. Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum tothe center of gravity ( ) of an item. The airplane s arm isobtained by adding the airplane s individual moments anddividing the sum by the total weight. Basic Empty Weight is the actual weight of the airplaneincluding all operating equipment that has a fixed location inthe airplane. The basic empty weight includes the weight ofunusable fuel and full Aerodynamic Chord is the chord drawn through thecentroid of the wing plan Edge of Mean Aerodynamic Chord is the forwardedge of MAC given in inches aft of the reference datum(fuselage station).
