Practise Flight Planning and Monitoring
Assume a magnetic variation of 4 degrees East. What are the magnetic course and the distance for a flight from SIGMARINGEN (48°05'N, 009°13'E) to BIBERACH airport (48°07'N, 009°46'E)?
Refer to the original training figure. At longitude 006°02'E, the initial true track is 074°. Use an ideal north-polar grid whose grid north is parallel to the Greenwich meridian; at this position true north is 006°02' west of grid north. What is the initial grid track, to the nearest degree?
On the direct great-circle route from Shannon (52°43'N 008°53'W) to Gander (48°54'N 054°32'W), what are approximately (a) the true course at the midpoint of the route and (b) the total distance?
At Keflavik (64°00'N 022°36'W), an aircraft's initial true course is 084°. Using a north-polar grid whose grid north is parallel to the Greenwich meridian, what is the initial grid course?
On a north-polar grid whose grid north is parallel to the Greenwich meridian, an aircraft flies the great-circle route from A (80°00'N 170°00'E) to B (75°00'N 011°00'E). What is the final grid course at B, rounded to the nearest degree?
A descent is planned from 7500 ft AMSL so as to arrive at 1000 ft AMSL 6 NM from a VORTAC. With a GS of 156 kt and a rate of descent of 800 ft/min. The distance from the VORTAC when descent is started is:
A sector distance is 450 NM long. The TAS is 460 kt. The wind component is 50 kt tailwind. What is the still-air distance?
The still-air distance in the climb is 189 Nautical Air Miles (NAM) and time 30 minutes. What ground distance would be covered in a 30 kt head wind?
A performance class A jet aeroplane uses the EU basic fuel scheme without contingency-fuel variations. Trip fuel is 5350 kg and destination alternate fuel, including the complete missed approach and flight to the alternate, is 4380 kg. The fuel flow at the applicable 1500-ft holding conditions in standard atmosphere is 6000 kg/h for both contingency and final-reserve calculations. No further additional, extra or discretionary fuel is required. What is the minimum usable fuel required at take-off?
Given: Dry operating mass (DOM)= 33510 kg Traffic Load= 7600 kg. Trip fuel (TF)= 2040 kg Final reserve fuel= 983 kg Alternate fuel= 1100 kg. Contingency fuel= 5% of trip fuel. Which of the listed estimated masses is correct?
