the seminole PIM i have doesn't even have normal to/landing charts in it!

before every flight i make my students calculate:
1. Accelerate stop
2. TO
3. S.E. Climb Rate
4. S.E. Service Ceiling
5. Landing

I do this because it aids in learning how to properly plan for every flight in the event you do lose an engine, you know what you can expect for performance as well as have a plan of action "ready" (not that i dwell on it, but at least it has been looked at and thought about for a few minutes)

we climb out at 25/25 105kts (pretty sure that is piper recommended) for visibility and engine cooling reasons, and the time/fuel/distance charts are just guestimates anyway.
