"TAKE-OFF AND LANDING DISTANCE - Under the most favorable conditions
of smooth packed snow at temperatures approximating 32 degrees F the
skiplane take-off distance is approximately 10% greater than that shown for the
landplane and the skiplane landing distance is approximately 20% greater than
that shown for the landplane. In estimating take-off and landing distance for
other conditions caution should be exercised in that lower temperatures or other
snow conditions will usually increase the take-off distances and either decrease
or increase the landing distances.
NORMAL RATE OF CLIMB - Reduce rate of climb values of landplane by approximately 10%.
STALLING SPEEDS (POWER OFF) - Stalling speeds for skiplane are same as shown for landplane."
