Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

FF = 25.7 USG/h

Answer

FF = 8.6 USG/h

Answer

FF = 42.9 USG/h

Answer

FF = 34.3 USG/h

Question 2

The term "steady flight" is defined as...

Accepted Answer

Unaccelerated flight. The four forces thrust, drag, lift, and weight are in equilibrium.

Answer

Flight with a steady power setting without changing course

Answer

Climb or descent with a constant climb or descent rate in calm weather conditions.

Answer

Flight in smooth air without turbulence and a perfectly trimmed aircraft.

Answer

Behind the rear C.G. limit.

Answer

In front of the front C.G. limit

Answer

Right of the lateral C. G. limit.

Question 7

(For this questions use attachment or CAP697 SEP1 Fig. 2.2 Table 2.2.3) For planning a VFR flight, the following data are given: Flight time with planning "overhead-overhead" = 2h 43min Pressure Altitude = 6.500 ft Temperature = ISA-20 Power setting = 2300 RPM Taxi Fuel = 2 USG Additional time for climb = 7 min, Additional time for approach and landing = 10 min The reserve fuel has to be 30% of trip fuel. Determine the minimum block fuel: (2,00 P.) Siehe Anlage 21

Accepted Answer

50.4 USG

Answer

47.3 USG

Answer

43.8 USG

Answer

39.2 USG

Question 8

The upper limit of LO R 4 equals... See annex (PFP-030) (1,00 P.) Siehe Anlage 16

Accepted Answer

4.500 ft MSL.

Answer

4.500 ft AGL

Answer

1.500 ft MSL.

Answer

1.500 ft AGL

Question 9

(For this questions, use attachment or CAP697 SEP1 Fig. 2.2 Table 2.2.3) Planning a flight from EDWH (Oldenburg Hatten) to EDWF (Leer Papenburg), the following conditions apply: Cruise level = FL 65 Temperature = ISA+20 Cruise weight = 3400 lbs Power setting = 23.0 in. HG @ 2300 RPM What Indicated Airspeed (IAS) and Fuel Flow (FF) can be expected? (2,00 P.) Siehe Anlage 21

Accepted Answer

IAS = 142 kt FF = 11.5 GPH

Answer

IAS = 145 kt FF = 11.9 GPH

Answer

IAS = 158kt FF = 11.5 GPH

Answer

IAS = 150 kt FF = 12.3 GPH

Question 10

Given the following data for a VFR flight: Trip fuel = 70 US gallons Contingency fuel = 5% 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 remains unchanged. Which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

The remaining fuel is insufficient for a landing at destination with alternate and final reserve fuel remaining.

Answer

Upon landing 15.0 US gallons will remain in addition to alternate and final reserve fuel.

Answer

Upon landing 5.0 US gallons will remain in addition to alternate and final reserve fuel

Answer

Upon landing, a total of 40.0 US gallons will remain.
