C.
Determine the total distance required for takeoff to clear a 50 foot obstacle.
OAT….Std Pressure ……….. 4,000 feet
Takeoff weight ………2,800 lbs Headwind component ……. calm
a. 1500 ft
b. 2000 ft
c. 1750 ft
c.
If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter?
a. the elevation of the nearest airport corrected to mean sea level
b. the elevation of the departure area
c. pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard
b.
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be:
a. less stable at slow speeds, but more stable at high speeds
b. less stable at high speeds, but more stable at low speeds
c. less stable at all speeds
c.
What is the purpose of calculating the zero fuel weight (ZFW) of an aircraft?
a. to determine the maximum weight the aircraft can carry without considering fuel
b. to establish the maximum allowable landing weight
c. to calculate the total weight of the aircraft immediately before fueling
d. to determine the amount of fuel required for the flight
a.
If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs?
a. 700 ft increase in indicated altitude
b. 70 ft. increase in indicated altitude
c. 70 ft increase in density altitude
a.
When computing weight and balance, the basic empty weight includes the weight of the airframe, engine(s), and all installed optional equipment. Basic empty weight also includes?
a. the unusable fuel, full operating fluids, and full oil
b. all usable fuel, full oil, hydraulic fluid, but does not include the weight of pilot, passengers, or baggage
c. all usable fuel and oil, but does not include any radio equipment or instruments that were installed by someone other than the manufacturer
a.
If the tower-reported surface wind is 010 degrees at 18 knots, what is the crosswind component for a rwy 08 landing?
a. 7 knots
b. 15 knots
c. 17 knots
c.
- rwy heading (080) - wind direction (010) = 70 (difference)
- wind speed (18 knots) x sine of difference (sin70) = 17 knots

a. 635 miles
b. 645 miles
c. 810 miles
c.
What would be the endurance at an altitude of 7500 ft, using 52% power? NOTE: with 48 gallons of fuel - no reserve
a. 6.1 hours
b. 7.7 hours
c. 8.0 hours
b.
“7”

a. 103 mph TAS, 6.3 gph
b. 105 mph TAS, 6.6 gph
c. 105 mph TAS, 6.2 gph
c.
“52” = “6.2”
If all index units are positive when computing weight and balance, the location of the datum would be at the:
a. centerline of the main wheels
b. nose, or out in front of the airplane
c. centerline of the nose or tailwheel, depending on the type of airplane
b.
Which of the following factors is not directly considered when calculating the required runway length for takeoff??

b. wind direction and speed
c. type of jet fuel used
d. temperature
c.
GIVEN:
Aircraft weight - 3700 lbs
Airport pressure altitude - 4000 ft
Temperature at 4000 ft - 21 deg. C

a. 30 lbs
b. 37 lbs
c. 46 lbs
c.
“4000 ft” = “46 lbs”
