C-GEAC C150L Performance Data

Airspeed indicator has KIAS on the outside, mph indicated on the inside.

The correct POH, however, gives speeds in miles per hour.

All speeds in Sections I, II and III are indicated, others are calibrated mph, unless otherwise stated.

Use the conversion table on page 6-2 to convert calibrated speeds to indicated.

Some numbers may be slightly different in the POH you have. Favour the POH for the actual aircraft.

Understand how to find all this data in the aircraft documents. You can be asked to find them on the flight test, and you will probably someday have to find them for another aircraft in an unfamiliar POH.

Bold speeds you must have memorized for the flight test.
