Performance and flight planning - EASA PPL(A) - Private Pilot License

Question 1

Which statement gives the best operational interpretation of landing distance?

Accepted Answer

It must be assessed using expected mass, runway condition, wind and required safety margin

Answer

It is always favourable in tailwind

Answer

It is checked only after touchdown

Answer

It always improves performance

Question 2

The speed Vx means...

Accepted Answer

That a given altitude is reached within minimum distance

Answer

That a given altitude is reached within minimum flight time

Answer

Maximum altitude gain per 10 % power

Answer

That a given altitude is reached with minimum fuel consumption

Question 3

According to the aeronautical chart, Friesach/Hirt (LOKH) has a 707 m grass runway. Prevailing runway is 17 due to a surface wind of 18010KT. The required landing distance for your aircraft under present conditions is 550 m. Considering the NOTAM below ,is it safe to plan LOKH as an alternate aerodrome? See figure (PFP-026)

Accepted Answer

No

Answer

Don't know

Answer

Maybe

Answer

Yes

Question 4

Which performance or flight planning statement is correct? Best angle of climb speed is...

Accepted Answer

Vx

Answer

It applies only to IFR flights

Answer

VNE

Answer

It changes aircraft registration

Question 5

For a VFR private pilot, what should be remembered about performance margin?

Accepted Answer

A conservative margin should remain after applying actual conditions and limitations

Answer

It cancels obstacle clearance

Answer

It removes fuel reserve requirements

Answer

Margins apply only to airline operations

Question 6

POH take-off distance is 700 m. If planning conservatively for high density altitude with a factor of 1.25, what distance should be allowed?

Accepted Answer

875 m

Answer

700 m

Answer

955 m

Answer

795 m

Question 7

The centre of gravity must remain within limits because...

Accepted Answer

stability and controllability depend on it

Answer

it changes runway heading

Answer

it sets radio frequency

Answer

it determines QNH

Question 8

Which section of the flight manual describes the basic empty mass of an aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Weight and balance

Answer

Normal procedures

Answer

Limitations

Answer

Performance

Question 9

Which statement about headwind and tailwind is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

Headwind improves and tailwind degrades take-off and landing distance performance

Answer

Tailwind always improves landing distance

Answer

Wind has no effect on ground roll

Answer

Headwind increases take-off distance

Question 10

What must be considered for cross-border flights?

Accepted Answer

Requires flight plans

Answer

Transmission of hazard reports

Answer

Regular location messages

Answer

Approved exceptions
