1. An aircraft is in cruising flight at FL095 and TAS 155 kts. The pilot intends to descend at 500 ft/min to arrive overhead the MAN VOR at 2.000 ft (QNH 1030 hPa). The TAS remains constant in the descent, wind is negligible, temperature standard. At which distance from MAN should the pilot commence the descent?
2. You are flying a constant compass heading of 252°. Variation is 22°E, deviation is 3°W and your INS is showing a drift of 9″ to the right. True track is?
3. Minimum planned takeoff fuel is 160 kg (30% total reserve fuel is included). Assume the groundspeed on this trip is constant. When the aeroplane has done half the distance the remaining fuel is 70 kg. Is diversion to a nearby alternate necessary?
4. An aircraft flight planning chart states that the time to reach FL190 at a given gross mass is 22 minutes with a still air distance of 66 NM. The ground distance travelled when the average headwind component is 35 kts will be:
5. A twin-jet aeroplane carries out the WASHINGTON – PARIS flight. When it reaches point K (35°N 048°W) a non- mechanical event makes the Captain consider rerouting to one of the three following fields. The flight conditions are:
from K to BERMUDAS (distance 847 NM, headwind component = 18 kts)
from K to SANTA MARIA (distance 1.112 NM, tailwind component = 120 kts)
from K to GANDER (distance 883 NM, wind component = 0)
With an aeroplane true airspeed of 460 kts, the field selected will be that more rapidly reached:
.
