Hi all,
I don't do a ton of cross country but I'm spoiled by having performance profiles for my work airplanes. Makes cross country planning so simple! I looked through my S-2A performance charts and compared that to my real world experience. Here's what I have in case anyone would like to input their own. I'll email it to ForeFlight as well and maybe they can just put it into their system for those that have Performance subscription. Of course, the climb rate is highly variable based on weight and density altitude so I picked a middle of the road weight/temp. I measured 2000 fpm a couple days ago when solo and full of fuel (around 1450 lbs) but summer is much lower. I'll adjust as I fly it more and check against what ForeFlight predicts.
