Net vs Gross

From memory, Net performance of airplanes is factorized to give Gross performance meaning that Gross performance has a safety factor to account for the average pilot, flying the average airplane in the fleet on an average day.

Measured performance is that demonstrated by highly skilled test pilots (i.e. not me at least )
