Flight Planning Flashcards
Distance on parallels = ?
departure
Distance on parallels in Nm = ?
delta longitude x cos latitude
Convergency (on earth) = ?
delta longitude x sin mean latitude
Conversion angle =
convergency angle / 2
Grivation i
algebric sum of :
- variation
- convergence
Chart convergency =
delta longitude x sin parallel of origin
Constant of the cone =
sin parallel of origin
Cadbury…
Cadbury dairy Milk (is) very Tasty (&) completely Good
Compass deviation Magnetic variation True convergence Grid
Agonic lines?
lines of points with NO variation
Isogonic lines ?
lines of points with SAME variation
Grid is?
change between:
- datum meridian
- local meridian
TOC is?
TOD is?
Top Of Climb
Top Of Descent
MTOM is?
MLM is?
Maximum Take-Off Mass
Maximum Landing Mass
MZFM is?
Maximum Zero Fuel Mass = total mass of the aircraft - the usable fuel
BEM is?
Basic Empty Mass
Mass of the engines, oil, unusable fuel, equipment as passengers seats or extinguishers
VL is?
Variable Load
Weight of the crew, their baggage, food, water and any special equipment for a special role
DOM is?
Dry Operating Mass = BEM (Basic Empty Mass) + VL (Variable Load)
(excludes usable fuel and payload)
Traffic load is?
Payload + non-revenue load
Traffic load + DOM (Dry Operation Mass) = ZFM (Zero Fuel Mass)
TOM is?
Take Off Mass = ZFM (Zero Fuel Mass) + takeoff fuel
OM is?
Operating Mass = DOM (Dry Operating Mass) + takeoff fuel = TOM (Take Off Mass) - payload
RM is?
Ramp Mass = taxi mass = ZFM + fuel
LM is?
Landing Mass = TOM (Take Off Mass) - trip fuel
AUM is?
All Up Mass or gross Mass = the total aircraft mass at a specified point
WCA is?
Wind Correction Angle
ZFM is?
Zero Fuel Mass = Dry Operating Mass + Traffic Load
structural limit never be exceed
Trip fuel is?
Fuel from runway to runway
Bloc fuel is?
Total fuel load = taxi + trip + contingency + alternate + final reserve
Planning phase: weather at the destination will normally be considered for the period?
ETA +/- 1h
