climb chart

A chart that gives the time required to climb to any given density altitude, the fuel consumed, and the distance covered in still air during the climb. With this chart, pilots or navigators can find the expected average true air speed during a climb to any density altitude and the distance covered. By applying one to the other, the user can also obtain the fuel consumed.
