(c) Aircraft Flight Management

(d) Authority of Flight Management

This question was addressed to me in an interview for internship.

I would like to ask this question from Fixed-Wing Aircraft topic in section Fixed-Wing Aircraft Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Aircraft Flight Manual

To explain I would say: AFM stands for Aircraft Flight Manual. It is also known as Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH). It contains the operating data such as climb, take-off and range data of the aircraft. Few changes had to be done by the user or check for those variations to make the data useful.
