99 - What is the fuel flow and the true airspeed for cruise flight with 60 % power in flight level 85 at an OAT of -25° C? See annex (PFP-014) (1,00 P.) Siehe Anlage 13

Fuel flow: 17 l. TAS: 81 kt. Fuel flow: 17.5 l. TAS: 83 kt Fuel flow: 20 l. TAS: 89 kt. Fuel flow: 18.5 l. TAS: 85 kt.

100 - What is the lowest possible VFR flight level if a true course of 181° is selected and a variation of 3° east exists? FL 050 FL 060 FL 055 FL 065

101 - During a VFR flight the remaining usable fuel at a checkpoint is 80 USG. Reserve fuel is 20 USG, remaining flight time according to flight plan is 2h 20min. What is the highest acceptable fuel flow (FF) for the rest of the trip? FF = 8.6 USG/h FF = 42.9 USG/h FF = 25.7 USG/h FF = 34.3 USG/h

102 - The center of gravity (CG) defines... The point on the longitudinal axis or its extension from which the centers of gravity of all masses are referenced. The point through which the force of gravity is said to act on a mass. The distance from the datum to the position of a mass. The product of mass and balance arm.
