Ice vanes Retracted Fig. 18 provides a chart to determine time, fuel, and distance to cruise climb. At the bottom of the chart, find ISA and move up and to the left on the ISA line to the cruise altitude of 20,000 ft. Then move right horizontally to the initial climb weight of 15,000 lb. Then move down vertically to the bottom of the graph to determine the time to climb of 14.5 min. Move down vertically to the fuel-to-climb line to determine fuel burned of 235 lb., and move down vertically to the next line to determine a distance to climb of 44 NM.
