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

Question 1

When reviewing the flight, which statement is correct for fuel reserve?

Accepted Answer

Reserve fuel provides margin for contingencies, delays and diversion

Answer

It is a passenger comfort item only

Answer

It cancels obstacle clearance

Answer

It removes fuel reserve requirements

Question 2

Unless the aircraft is equipped and certified accordingly...

Accepted Answer

Flight into known or forecast icing conditions is prohibited. Should the aircraft enter an area of icing conditions inadvertently, it should be left without delay.

Answer

Flight into known or forecast icing conditions is only allowed as long as it is ensured that the aircraft can still be operated without performance degradation.

Answer

Flight into forecast icing conditions is prohibited. Should the aircraft enter an area of icing conditions inadvertently, the flight may be continued as long as visual meteorological conditions are maintained.

Answer

Flight into areas of precipitation is prohibited.

Question 3

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should obstacle clearance be understood?

Accepted Answer

It must be considered during take-off, climb, approach and landing planning

Answer

It replaces weather planning

Answer

It is unrelated to runway surface

Answer

It is a maintenance interval

Question 4

What is correct about centre of gravity limits?

Accepted Answer

The CG must remain within approved limits for stability and control

Answer

It is always favourable in tailwind

Answer

CG may be ignored if below maximum mass

Answer

It affects only radio phraseology

Question 5

For a VFR private pilot, what should be remembered about obstacle clearance?

Accepted Answer

It must be considered during take-off, climb, approach and landing planning

Answer

It is ignored below maximum take-off mass

Answer

It is a passenger comfort item only

Answer

It removes fuel reserve requirements

Question 6

For a VFR private pilot, what should be remembered about take-off distance?

Accepted Answer

It must be checked against actual mass, wind, runway, slope, temperature and pressure altitude

Answer

It affects only radio phraseology

Answer

It replaces weather planning

Answer

It is unrelated to runway surface

Question 7

Considering the following fuel data, how much trip fuel is required? Fuel for start-up and taxi: 5 L Fuel for take-off and climb: 12 L Fuel for cruise flight: 25 L Fuel for descent, approach and landing: 7 L Fuel for taxi and parking: 3 L Fuel to alternate: 13 L Final reserve fuel: 10 L

Accepted Answer

44 L

Answer

75 L

Answer

52 L

Answer

49 L

Question 8

Best angle of climb speed is...

Accepted Answer

Vx

Answer

Vy

Answer

VNE

Answer

VS1

Question 9

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should density altitude be understood?

Accepted Answer

Higher density altitude reduces take-off, climb and landing performance margins

Answer

It is checked only after landing

Answer

It is a passenger comfort item only

Answer

It is set by the transponder

Question 10

Which factor shortens landing distance?

Accepted Answer

Strong head wind

Answer

High pressure altitude

Answer

Heavy rain

Answer

High density altitude
