ATPL Flight Planning and Monitoring Questions in English

Practise Flight Planning and Monitoring

A performance class A turbojet aeroplane uses the EU basic fuel scheme without contingency-fuel variations. Taxi fuel is 600 kg. For this exercise, total trip fuel is calculated as 6 hours at 10000 kg/h. Destination alternate fuel is 10200 kg. The applicable holding fuel flow at 1500 ft above aerodrome elevation in standard conditions is 8000 kg/h for contingency and final reserve. No additional, extra or discretionary fuel is required. What is the minimum ramp fuel? 4 Answers What is the principal fuel-planning purpose of the reduced contingency fuel (RCF) procedure using a decision point, with destination 1 and an optional refuelling destination 2? 4 Answers Under the EU fuel rules for commercial air transport aeroplanes, final reserve fuel for a turbine-engined aeroplane, calculated using the estimated mass on arrival at the destination alternate or at the destination when no alternate is required, is: 4 Answers Find: Air distance in Nautical Air Miles (NAM) for this leg and fuel consumption. Given: Flight time from top of climb at FL 280 to the enroute point is 48 minutes. Cruise procedure is long range cruise. Temperature is ISA -5°C. The take-off mass is 56000 kg and climb fuel 1100 kg. 4 Answers Given: X = Distance A to point of equal time (PET) between A and B E = Endurance D = Distance A to B O = Groundspeed 'on' H = Groundspeed 'back'. The formula for calculating the distance X to point of equal time (PET) is: 4 Answers Given the following: D = flight distance X = distance to Point of Equal Time GSo = groundspeed out GSr = groundspeed return. The correct formula to find distance to Point of Equal Time is: 4 Answers In a constant-condition flight-planning exercise, departure-to-destination distance is 338 NM, outbound true track is 045 degrees, wind is from 225 degrees true at 35 kt, and TAS is 120 kt in both directions. What are the distance from departure and outbound flight time to the point of equal time (PET), rounded to the nearest nautical mile and minute? 4 Answers Given: Distance from departure to destination 1950 NM GS Out 400 kt GS Home 300 kt What is the time of the PET from the departure point? 4 Answers Given: Distance from departure to destination 95 NM True track 105 W/V 060/15 TAS 140 kt What is the distance of the PET from the departure point? 4 Answers Given: Distance from departure to destination 150 NM True track 142 W/V 200/15 TAS 132 kt What is the distance of the PET from the departure point? 4 Answers
