Which statement about the duration of daylight is true?
An aircraft departs from Schiphol airport (STF 1 h) (52.3° N 004.8° E) and flies to Santa Cruz (17.8° S 063.2° W) in Bolivia, South America via Miami (25.8° N 080.2° W) in Florida. The departure time (off blocks) is 07:45 ST at the 10th of November, taxi time before take off Schiphol is 25 min. The flight time to Miami over the Atlantic Ocean is 09:20. The total taxi time in Miami to and from the gate is 25 min. The time spent at the gate is 02:40. From Miami to Santa Cruz the airborne time is 06:30. Calculate the time and date of touch down in Santa Cruz in ST Bolivia if the difference between ST and UTC is 4 h.
When the length of day is measured with reference to the passage of the apparent Sun:
Using the attached historical training chart, an aircraft passes STORNOWAY (STN, 58°12.4'N 006°11'W) at 11:15 UTC. Its original estimate for GLASGOW (GOW, 55°52.2'N 004°26.7'W) was 11:38 UTC. At 11:21 UTC it is exactly over RONAR. Assuming the groundspeed achieved from STN to RONAR is maintained for the remaining charted route, which listed revised estimate for GOW is closest?
On an oblate spheroid representing the Earth's shape:
Given: True Heading = 090° TAS = 180 kt. GS = 180 kt. Drift 5° right. Calculate the W/V?
Given: True HDG = 074°, TAS = 230 kt, Track (T) = 066°, GS = 242 kt. Calculate the W/V?
Given: True HDG = 206°, TAS = 140 kt, Track (T) = 207°, GS = 135 kt. Calculate the W/V?
Given: True HDG = 002°, TAS = 130 kt, Track (T) = 353°, GS = 132 kt. Calculate the W/V?
Given: Magnetic track = 075°, HDG = 066°(M),VAR = 11°E, TAS = 275 kt. Aircraft flies 48 NM in 10 MIN. Calculate the true W/V °?
