What are the difference between the single engine service ceiling (table 4.2.2 AOM), single engine cilmb data (5.8.2) and single engine cruise data (5.8.4) :
the three gives you different altitudes in the same conditions:
for example : in ISA conditions at 28t you can according to the single engine climb data climb to FL160 , and according to the single engine cruise data you can cruise at FL200 and according to the single engine service ceiling you can drift down to 17480ft . why is that so different ?
