Q

When a pilot is operating an aircraft in the altimeter-setting region, he/she should:

While in flight, sec the altimeter to the aitimecer setting of the nearest station along the route of flight or. where the nearest stations along the route of flighc are separated by more than 150 nautical miles, to the altimeter setting of a station near the route of flight.

Immediately before conducting a takeoff from an aerodrome, set the altimeter to the altimeter setting of the aerodrome or, if thac altimeter setting is not obtainable, to the elevation of the aerodrome.

immediately before commencing a descent for the purpose of landing at an aerodrome, set the altimeter to the altimeter setting of the aerodrome, if that altimeter setting is obtainable.

Q

Whac is the difference between an EICAS and an ECAM?

The eicas is an electromagnetic system whereas the ECAM is an electronic system.

unlike the ECAM. the eicas recommends remedial action.

unlike the eicas. the ECAM improves pilots’ situational awareness by showing them detailed information in a graphical format

None of the above.

A

None of the above.

The EICAS (Engine indications and Crew Alerting System) is an electronic system replacing traditional gauges to indicate information about the aircraft systems such as fuel, electrical and propulsion systems, usually, the information displayed looks like the traditional gauges while supplying digital readouts of the parameters.

This system can improve pilots” situational awareness by showing them detailed information in a graphical format and by alerting them of unusual or dangerous situations (oil pressure loss, too high engine temperatures, etc.) by changing displays and colours and emitcmg audio alerts, a lot of warnings and alarms can be set on the EiCAS: it is important to choose a good alert setting to ensure that pilots always receive the most useful information and are not overwhelmed by warnings.

The ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) is a similar system to the EAiCAS. The difference is that this system also recommends remedial action.

Regarding the information below, determine the flight level at which the aircraft will have the best fuel efficiency.

At FL280:

  • TAS = 430 ktS
  • Fuel flow = 530 lbs/h
  • Headwind = 80 kts

At FL320:

  • TAS = 450 kts
  • Fuel flow = 500 lbs/h
  • Headwind = 125 kts
A

FL280 with a specific ground range of 0.66 NM/lb.

Explanation

in order to burn as little fuel as possible, it is important to choose a good altitude or flight level. There are three formulas to use regarding situation that will help the pilot to do so. With these three formulas, the pilot is able to calculate the specific range of an aircraft at different altitudes, or the specific range of different aircraft at the same altitude, allowing him/her to know what altitude or which aircraft is che most fuel economical.

  • Specific Range is calculated as below:

Specific Range = Distance Flown (NM) / Fuel Burned (gallons or pounds).

  • To choose che right altitude, consider groundspeed to obtain the Specific Ground Range (SGR). it is calculated as below:

Specific Ground Range = Groundspeed (kts) / Fuel Flew (GPH or lbs/h).

  • The Specific Air Range (SAR) is used to compare performances of different aircraft, it is used with the aircraft true airspeed:

Specific Air Range = TAS (kts) / Fuel Flow (GPH or lbs/h).

Here, at FL280. groundspeed is: 430 - 80 = 350 kts. The specific ground range is: 350 / 530 = 0.66 NM/lb.

At FL320. groundspeed is: 450 -125 = 325 kts. The specific ground range is: 325 / 500 = 0.65 NM/lb.
