Perf A is/was performance planning for jets e.g.: take off figures, obstacle clearance distances and same if one engine fails, calculating V1 speeds, brake cooling and lots of other mind bending stuff. Perf A was based on figures for a Tristar (I think) but was just an intro into jet performance.

CAP 509 is a thing of the past, it has been replaced by the JAA Integrated ACPL/IR/ATPL Courses.. .Performance A, B and C is covered in the JAA Performance examinations and again on a Type Rating Course where you are tested on the performance characteristics of the actual aeroplane you are going to fly rather than a mythical one in a stand alone Performance exam.
