This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers the airworthiness design standards associated with general aeroplane performance. The material was
developed through open consensus of international experts in general aviation. This information was created by focusing on
Normal Category aeroplanes. The content may be more broadly applicable; it is the responsibility of the Applicant to substantiate
broader applicability as a specific means of compliance. The topics covered within this specification are: Stalling, Takeoff and
Landing Speeds; Takeoff Performance, Distances and Path; Climb; Landing Performance and Distances; Balked Landing.
1.2 An applicant intending to propose this information as Means of Compliance for a design approval must seek guidance from
their respective oversight authority (for example, published guidance from applicable civil aviation authorities (CAAs)) concerning
the acceptable use and application thereof. For information on which oversight authorities have accepted this standard (in whole
or in part) as an acceptable Means of Compliance to their regulatory requirements (hereinafter “the Rules”), refer to ASTM
Committee F44 webpage (www.astm.org/COMMITTEE/F44.htm).
1.3 Units—This specification may present information in either SI units, English Engineering units, or both. The values stated in
each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used
independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
