Part 1: Assume the A320neo is currently flying with an airspeed (TAS) of 250 kn at an altitude of 5000 ft and is climbing. The throttle factor is set at F,

= 0.85. The mass of the aircraft is 78.5 tonnes. Determine: a) the climb angle and rate of climb. b) the steepest climb angle and maximum rate of climb. c) compare the current airspeed of 250 kn with those required to achieve the steepest climb angle and maximum rate of climb.
