Metro 3 users,what Aircraft Flight Manual do you use,for the acc/stop distance wet full stop???
We're using the FAA one,but there is a school of thought that there is other information available(JAR23??):confused:

My company uses the FAA approved Metro III ICAO Annex 8 AFM for performance. Transport Canada gave this their blessing. Depending on your approval / waiver status you should be more concerned with "single engine take off distance to 35 feet" charts, these are generally more restrictive, and use TODA vs ASDA (unless single engine climb gradients are steep and take precedence).

Fairchild will supply you with a CD ROM to simplify publishing company charts, but make sure you tell them which regulations you need to conform to, and know your own regulations (ie, 60% factored, 70% factored, or unfactored landing requirements).

And yes, there are Australian supplements, New Zealand supplements, and probably many more that I am unaware of.
