ATPL Flight Planning and Monitoring Questions in English

Practise Flight Planning and Monitoring

From which of the following would you expect to find facilitation information regarding customs and health formalities? 4 Answers An IFR flight follows a true track of 215 degrees with variation 3 degrees W. Apply the standard magnetic-track semicircular cruising-level table, with no regional or ATC variation. The highest obstacle is 10 600 ft AMSL and the required clearance is 1 500 ft. QNH is 1035 hPa at a sea-level reference aerodrome. Assume a uniform ISA -15 degrees C deviation from that datum to the aircraft, no instrument or position errors, 30 ft per hPa and a 4% height correction per 10 degrees C. What is the lowest flight level satisfying both obstacle clearance and the semicircular rule? 4 Answers Under the EU fuel rules for commercial air transport aeroplanes, for how long must the final reserve fuel of a turbojet aeroplane permit flight at holding speed at 1500 ft above aerodrome elevation in standard conditions, calculated using the estimated arrival mass? 4 Answers Refer to Performance Manual MRJT1 Page 13 Figure 4.3.3C Simplified Flight Planning - Trip Distances Given: ground distance to destination aerodrome 1600 NM headwind component 50 kt FL 330 cruise 0.78 Mach ISA +20 °C estimated landing weight 55000 kg. Find: simplified flight planning to determine estimated trip fuel and trip time. 4 Answers Refer to Performance Manual MRJT1 Page 17 Figure 4.4 Holding Fuel Flow - Flaps Retracted The final reserve fuel taken from the HOLDING PLANNING table for the twin jet aeroplane is based on the following parameters: 4 Answers Find the time to the Point of Safe Return (PSR). Given: Maximum useable fuel 15000 kg, Minimum reserve fuel 3500 kg, TAS out 425 kt, Head wind component out 30 kt, TAS return 430 kt, Tailwind component return 20 kt, Average fuel flow 2150 kg/h 4 Answers Refer to Performance Manual MRJT1 Page 75 Figure 4.7.2 Area of Operation - Diversion Distance One Engine Inoperative Using the above table, in ISA conditions and at a speed of M.70/280KIAS, in an elapsed time of 90 minutes an aircraft with mass at point of diversion 48000 kg could divert a distance of: 4 Answers Given: Distance from departure to destination 140 NM GS Out 90 kt GS Home 80 kt What is the distance of the PET from the departure point? 4 Answers Given: Distance from departure to destination 2800 NM True track 140 W/V 140/100 TAS 500 kt What is the distance and time of the PET from the departure point? 4 Answers Given: Distance from departure to destination 340 NM True track 320 W/V 160/40 TAS 110 kt What is the distance of the PET from the departure point? 4 Answers
