The performance or operational information section of the Airplane Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) contains the operating data for the airplane; that is, the data pertaining to takeoff, climb, range, endurance, descent, and landing.
1-1 When pressure is applied to the airplane controls, one or more of the basic forces changes in magnitude and becomes greater than the opposing force, causing the airplane to accelerate or move in the direction of the applied force.
Flight Level (FL) A surface of constant atmosphere pressure which is related to a specific pressure datum, 1013.2hPa, and is separated from other such surfaces by specific pressure intervals. Altitude above sea-level in 100 feet units measured according to a standard atmosphere.
There are two major parts of the pitot-static system: (1) impact pressure chamber and lines; and (2) static pressure chamber and lines, which provides the source of ambient air pressure for the operation of the altimeter, vertical speed indicator

The understanding of basic aerodynamics – the possibility of flight, forces acting on aircraft in flight, why aircraft is designed with particular flight control systems, - is important for understanding the maintenance of aircraft systems.
Pressure altitude can be defined as the vertical distance from the 1013.25 hPa pressure level. When the term 'altitude' appears in Operating Data Manuals (ODMs) and performance charts, it...
