ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot license: Flight Planning and Monitoring 10 Questions no time limit

1 - An aircraft, following a 215° true track at variation 3°W, must fly over a 10 600 ft obstacle with a minimum obstacle clearance of 1 500 ft. Knowing the QNH received from an airport close by, which is almost at sea-level, is 1035 and the temperature is ISA -15°C, the minimum flight level will be:
2 - In the ATC flight plan Item 19, emergency and survival equipment carried on the flight should be indicated by:

3 - Given: True course (TC) 017°, W/V 340°/30 kt, True air speed (TAS) 420 kt Find: Wind correction angle (WCA) and ground speed (GS)
4 - The planned departure time from the parking area is 1815 UTC. The estimated take-off time is 1825 UTC. The flight plan must be filed with ATC at the latest at:
5 - In an ATC flight plan, Item 15 (route), a cruising pressure altitude of 32000 feet would be entered as:

6 - In the cruise at FL 155 at 260 kt TAS, the pilot plans for a 500 feet/min descent in order to fly overhead MAN VOR at 2000 feet (QNH 1030). TAS will remain constant during descent, wind is negligible, temperature is standard. The pilot must start the descent at a distance from MAN of:
7 - On a given path, it is possible to choose between four flight levels (FL), each associated with a mandatory flight Mach Number (M). The flight conditions, static air temperature (SAT) and headwind component (HWC) are given below: FL 370 - M = 0.80 Ts = -60°C HWC = -15 kt. FL 330 - M = 0.78 Ts = -60°C HWC= - 5 kt. FL 290 - M = 0.80 Ts = -55°C HWC = -15 kt. FL 270 - M = 0.76 Ts = -43°C HWC = 0. The flight level allowing the highest ground speed is:
8 - How many hours in advance of EOBT should a ATC flight plan be filed in the case of flights into areas subject to air traffic flow management (ATFM)?
9 - In the ATC flight plan item 7, for a radio equipped aircraft, the identifier must always:

10 - Which of the following statements regarding filing a ATC flight plan is correct?
