Given the following data for a VFR flight: Take-off fuel: 180 kg including reserve fuel, which is 30% of take-off fuel. After half of the distance, the remaining fuel is 100 kg. Assume that cruise conditions will remain unchanged. Determine the remaining fuel at the destination: 4 Answers During a VFR flight the remaining usable fuel at a checkpoint is 80 USG. Reserve fuel is 20 USG, remaining flight time according to flight plan is 2h 20min. What is the highest acceptable fuel flow (FF) for the rest of the trip? 4 Answers Using the attached representative SEP cruise table, at FL 75, ISA temperature and 3400 lb, use 23.0 inHg or full throttle if limiting, at 2300 RPM. Approximately what TAS and fuel flow are obtained by interpolation? 4 Answers Using the attached representative SEP cruise table, at FL 65, ISA +20 °C and 3400 lb, use 23.0 inHg or full throttle if limiting, at 2300 RPM. Approximately what IAS and fuel flow are obtained by interpolation? 4 Answers Using the attached representative SEP table, calculate block fuel for this arithmetic exercise: overhead-to-overhead time 2 h 43 min, add 7 min climb and 10 min approach/landing; altitude 6500 ft, ISA −20 °C, 2300 RPM, 23.0 inHg or full throttle if limiting; taxi 2 USG and reserve 30% of trip fuel. Interpolate the hourly fuel flow then round it to 0.1 USG/h before multiplying by total flight time. Round block fuel to 0.1 USG. The stated reserve is an exercise assumption, not a universal legal requirement. 4 Answers Using the attached representative SEP table, calculate block fuel for this arithmetic exercise: overhead-to-overhead time 2 h 42 min, add 8 min climb and 10 min approach/landing; altitude 7500 ft, ISA temperature, 2300 RPM, 23.0 inHg or full throttle if limiting; taxi 2 USG and reserve 30% of trip fuel.

Alternate and final reserve fuel = 20 US gallons. Usable fuel at take-off = 95 US gallons. After half of the distance, you read that you have consumed 40 US gallons. Assume that fuel flow and groundspeed remain unchanged. Which statement is correct? 4 Answers Given the following data for a VFR flight: Trip fuel = 70 US gallons. Contingency fuel = 5% of trip fuel.
