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

Question 1

When preparing a PPL(A) flight, what is correct about climb performance?

Accepted Answer

It may be limiting when obstacles, high mass or high density altitude are present

Answer

It has no effect on distance required

Answer

It is set by the transponder

Answer

It is a maintenance interval

Question 2

Given the following conditions, the TAS equals... Outside air temperature: -2° C Pressure altitude: 8000 ft Power: 75 % See annex (PFP-014)

Accepted Answer

104 kt.

Answer

100 kt.

Answer

95 kt.

Answer

110 kt.

Question 3

Which statement gives the best operational interpretation of aircraft mass?

Accepted Answer

Higher mass increases take-off and landing distances and reduces climb performance

Answer

It cancels obstacle clearance

Answer

It removes fuel reserve requirements

Answer

Mass affects only radio range

Question 4

In normal private flying, which statement about climb performance is correct?

Accepted Answer

It may be limiting when obstacles, high mass or high density altitude are present

Answer

It changes aircraft registration

Answer

It is unrelated to runway surface

Answer

It removes fuel reserve requirements

Question 5

How should pressure altitude be understood by a private pilot?

Accepted Answer

It is used with temperature to assess density altitude and performance

Answer

It is a passenger comfort item only

Answer

It applies only to IFR flights

Answer

It is the same as indicated altitude in all cases

Question 6

Which statement gives the best operational interpretation of take-off distance?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

It replaces weather planning

Answer

It is a passenger comfort item only

Answer

It cancels obstacle clearance

Question 7

A flight plan has been filed for a flight departing at an uncontrolled aerodrome. When has the actual take-off time been transmitted to ATC?

Accepted Answer

Immediately after take-off.

Answer

Upon request from ATC.

Answer

When landing is assured.

Answer

At deviation from expected off-block time by more than 15 min.

Question 8

Exceeding the maximum allowed aircraft mass is...

Accepted Answer

Not permissible and essentially dangerous

Answer

Only relevant if the excess is more than 10 %

Answer

Compensated by the pilot's control inputs

Answer

Exceptionally permissible to avoid delays

Question 9

Which statement about runway surface condition is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

Wet, soft or contaminated surfaces can increase required distances

Answer

They always reduce landing distance

Answer

They affect only radio calls

Answer

They remove obstacle concerns

Question 10

Total mass is 900 kg and total moment is 360.0 kg m. What is the centre of gravity arm?

Accepted Answer

0.40 m

Answer

0.44 m

Answer

0.36 m

Answer

360.0 m
