Now that you have passed the exam you can operate in the real world. When using the charts just go to the next higher solid line for each value rather than trying to extrapolate. Rounding up will provide you with an extra safety margin

Remember the charts were done by a factory engineering test pilot flying a new airplane. When you get into your club's 35 year old, well shagged PA 28, "your mileage may vary".
