1. (Refer to figure 033-41) For a flight departing from MSL at 3.663 lbs, cruising at FL80 at 2.300 RPM, 20 °С lean of peak EGT, in 40 kts headwind, calculate endurance:
2. (Refer to figure 033-01)
A flight has to be made with a single engine aeroplane. For the fuel calculation allow:
• 10 lbs fuel for start up and taxi
• 3 minutes and 1 gallon of additional fuel to allow for the climb
• 10 minutes and no fuel correction for the descent
• Planned flight time (takeoff to landing) is 3 hrs and 12 minutes
• Reserve fuel 30% of the Trip Fuel
• Power setting is 25 inHg (or full throttle), 2.100 RPM, 20 °С lean
• FL70 and the OAT is 10 °С The minimum Block Fuel is:
.
3. (Refer to figure 033-41) Given: Cruising: FL75 Mixture: lean Full throttle: 2.300 RPM Takeoff fuel: 444 lbs Takeoff from: MSL Find endurance in hours:
.
4. Given:
Dry Operating Mass (DOM): 33.000 kg
Load: 8.110 kg
Final reserve fuel: 983 kg
Alternate fuel: 1.100 kg
Contingency fuel: 102 kg
If the flight is performed as planned, the estimated Landing Mass at destination airport should be:
.
5. For a flight to an offshore platform, an alternate aerodrome is compulsory, except if:
1) flight duration does not exceed two hours
2) during the period from two hours before to two hours after the estimated landing time, the forecast conditions of ceiling and visibility are not less than one and a half times the applicable minima
3) the platform is available and no other flight either from or to the platform is expected between the estimated time of departure and one half hour after the estimated landing time
.
