Title: Describe normal climb and descent rates.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Operating the Aircraft

Description should include the following:

- The primary factors most affected by performance are the takeoff and landing distance, rate of climb, ceiling, payload, range, speed, maneuverability, stability, and fuel economy.
- Some of these factors are often directly opposed. For example, high speed vs. short landing distance, long range vs. great payload, and high rate of climb vs. fuel economy. It is the pre-eminence of one or more of these factors that dictates differences among aircraft and explains the high degree of specialization found in modern aircraft.
