ATPL Flight Planning and Monitoring Questions in English

Practise Flight Planning and Monitoring

Using the attached historical Johannesburg/Jan Smuts TAF training bulletin, and including all probability groups valid at 0300 UTC, what is the lowest forecast cloud coverage and base (oktas/ft)? 4 Answers Use the long TAF labelled FT1000 in the attached historical Bordeaux/Merignac training bulletin. For this planning exercise, apply a deteriorating BECMG group from the start of its change interval. What is the heaviest forecast precipitation at 1000 UTC on the morning within that TAF's validity? 4 Answers Given: Distance from departure to destination 1860 NM GS Out 360 kt GS Home 400 kt. What is the time of the PET from the departure point? 4 Answers Refer to Performance Manual MRJT1 Figure 4.4 Given: twin jet aeroplane, Estimated mass on arrival at the alternate 50000 kg, Estimated mass on arrival at the destination 52525 kg, Alternate elevation MSL, Destination elevation 1500 ft Find: Final reserve fuel and corresponding time 4 Answers Use the attached SEP1 training Table 2.3.1 (economy cruise power). At pressure altitude 6000 ft, ISA deviation 0 degrees C and cruise mass 3400 lb, the manifold pressure is set to 21.0 in Hg at 2100 rpm with cruise-lean mixture. What cruise true airspeed and fuel flow in lb/h are read from the table? 4 Answers Use the attached SEP1 training Figure 2.5 under its associated conditions: initial fuel load 444 lb (74 US gal) and mass 3663 lb before engine start, sea-level departure and ISA conditions. At pressure altitude 7500 ft, full throttle, 2300 rpm and mixture 20 degrees C lean of peak EGT, what approximate endurance does the graph give, including its stated climb, taxi/runup and 45-minute reserve allowances? 4 Answers Under SERA.5005(d)(2), what is the highest flight level at which a VFR flight may operate without invoking an exception to the restriction on VFR flights above FL 195? Other applicable airspace and clearance requirements still apply. 4 Answers For an EU commercial air transport aeroplane with reciprocating engines, final reserve fuel is calculated at holding speed at 1500 ft above the applicable aerodrome elevation in standard conditions, using the estimated arrival mass. What is the minimum flight time represented by this reserve? 4 Answers 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 For the EU basic fuel scheme for performance class A aeroplanes, when calculating the additional-fuel critical scenario after engine failure or loss of pressurisation, what holding allowance at the fuel en-route alternate is included before the approach and landing? 4 Answers
