PART A
DATA SOURCES AND METHOD OF DATA ACQUISITION
Demonstration Method
1. | Data Sources (Calibrated Performance) |
Since special flight test instrumentation will not be used, data will be taken from flight deck instrument displays or available aircraft data systems and the appropriate calibration corrections will be applied to such data. The applicable instruments shall be calibrated in Boeing laboratories or equivalent prior to the test. The following tabulation summarizes the minimum data which will be taken.
Mach | ||
Altitude | ||
Air Temperature | ||
Primary Power Setting Parameter | [*] | |
Ground Speed |
[*] | |
Fuel Flow | [*] | |
Initial Gross Weight | [*] | |
Current Gross Weight |
2. | Data Correction |
The corrections applied to the data will be in accordance with normal engineering practices as detailed in the then current revision of Boeing Document D041A404, “The Determination of Cruise Fuel Mileage by Flight Testing Boeing Commercial Production Airplanes.” These procedures correct the data for instrument calibrations, temperature deviation from a standard day, variation from unaccelerated level flight, difference between test and nominal gross weight divided by ambient static pressure ratio (W/d), altitude effect, Xxxxxxxx Number effect, wing aeroelastics, center of gravity, variation in electrical load, ECS operation, the differences between the measured fuel heating value and the Boeing standard value of 18,580 BTU/LB, and other corrections as appropriate.

PART B
METHOD FOR DETERMINING CALIBRATED PERFORMANCE
Demonstration Method
1. For each Demonstration Aircraft, a series of points will be taken during the delivery flight to determine Cruise Specific Air Range with the target of getting [*] Mach numbers at or near the cruise Mach number specified in the Performance Guarantees and for [*] W/d values to be representative of conditions of the Performance Guarantees with a minimum impact on the scheduled flight plan. All test data will be adjusted to represent conditions of level, unaccelerated flight on a standard day and nominal conditions consistent with those used in the analysis of extensive flight test data obtained on an aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft as documented in the Cruise Performance Substantiation Document for the applicable Model 767-300 Freighter.
2. For the purpose of determining the Demonstration Calibrated Performance to be used in demonstrating compliance with the Particular Guarantees, the numerical average of deviations of the data for the Demonstration Aircraft will be calculated as compared to the database used for the “Standard Method”. The average deviation so determined will be used to determine an adjustment factor to be applied to the fuel mileage level documented in the Cruise Performance Substantiation Document for the applicable Model 767-300 Freighter. This factored fuel mileage level will be used to establish the Demonstration Calibrated Performance to be used in the calculation of compliance of the Demonstration Aircraft with the Particular Guarantees.
