Q

What is the maximum time before departure that a full ATS FPL can be filed?

A

25
Q

What is the minimum requirement for filing a full ATS FPL?

A

Exceptionally never < 30mins before the aircraft commences movement associated with departure.

26
Q

Which of the following pre-flight amendments would require a change message to be sent?

A

2 and 7

27
Q

Which of the following pre-flight amendments would require a cancellation message to be sent?

A

1,3,4,5

28
Q

An acknowledgement message, subject to further processing by the enhanced tactical flow management system, requires adherence to what?

A

EOBT +/- 15minutes

29
Q

In the event of a flight plan being cancelled, due only to a change in EOBT, what should you do before submitting another FPL?

A

Wait the recommended 5minutes before submitting another flight plan.

30
Q

When is the requirement to submit a valid FPL for an IFR/GAT flight operating within the ICAO European region (or integrated flight plan system zone IFPZ) satisfied?

A

When an acceptance acknowledgement message has been recieved.

31
Q

Which type of flight plan (FPL) can be submitted by GAT flights over the RT?

A

An abbreviated FPL with minimum of 10 mins prior to entering CAS

32
Q

If flight is to be operated under IFR, then followed by one or more subsequent changes of flight rules, which letter should be inserted in the FPL ‘type of flight’ field?

A

Y

page 164 FIH

33
Q

If flight is to be operated under VFR, followed by one or more subsequent changes of flight rules, which letter is to be inserted into the FPL ‘type of flight’ field?

A

X

page 164 FIH

34
Q

When you tell ATC that you are “cancelling my IFR FPL” ATC will do what?

A

Always cancel the FPL and advise you of potential weather en-route.

35
Q

How is the endurance field of the FPL calculated?

A

The total fuel on board is converted to an average cruise flight time.

36
Q

Where does the ultimate responsibility of submitting an accurate FPL lie?

A

The Aircraft Commander

37
Q

What is the risk if no mass and balance calculations have been carried out?

A

The aircraft may not achieve published cirtified performance standards

OR

exhibit expected stability and control chatacteristics

38
Q

Which of the following elements make up the aeroplane BEM?

A

1,4,6

39
Q

Which of the following elements make up the aeroplane DOM?

A

2,3,4,5,6,7

40
Q

What is the ZFM given the following data?

A

1610kg

TL + DOM

41
Q

What is the traffic load given the following data?

A

320kg

= MTOM - DOM - Useable Fuel

42
Q

What is the taxi mass calculation see handout

A

See handout

43
Q

Can a package weighing 1500kg with dimensions of 1m x 2m x 3m be placed into a cargo hold with a distribution load of 700kgm-2?

A

Yes on 4 of the 6 faces

44
Q

Can a package weighing 1500kg with dimensions of 1m x 2m x 3m be placed into a cargo hold with a running load of 800kgm-1?

A

Yes but only with 3m or 2m sides positioned lengthways.

45
Q

When will the stalling speed of an aircraft be at its highest?

A

With high gross mass and forward CG

46
Q

When will the stalling speed of an aircraft be at its lowest?

A

With low gross mass and aft CG

47
Q

With the CG on the forward limit what can be expected in the way of pitch stability?

A

Increased pitch stability

48
Q

The nose wheel of an aircraft moves aft during gear retraction, how will this movement affect the location of the CG of the aeroplane?

A

It will cause the CG to move aft

49
Q

What is the equation to calculate moving CG?

A

Mass moved x Distance moved = Aircraft Mass x Distance CG moved

50
Q

Which of the following are correct with respect to weighing aeroplanes. The aeroplane must be weighted…

A

All of the above

51
Q

What is the datum line?

A

An arbitrary point chosen by manufacturers from which the position of any item can be expressed

52
Q

What is a balance line?

A

An arbitrary point chosen by the manufacturers used to avoid large figures when calculating moments reference to datum if given.

53
Q

What is the equation for cal calculating %MAC?

A

%MAC = (( CG position - Leading edge ) / MAC ) x 100

54
Q

The runway in use at Cardiff aerodrome is RW12 and the surface wind is 140o / 20kts, what is the cross wind component?

A

7kts from the right

55
Q

DA42 exercise see handout Q 55

A

See handout

56
Q

What are the take off performance B EU (Air) Ops requirements for a runway with a stop and/or clearway?

A

When multiplied by 1.15 TODR must be less than TODA

57
Q

What are the landing Performance B EU (Air) Ops requirements?

A

Landing mass calculated shall allow a full stop landing from 50ft above threshold within 70% of the LDA.

58
Q

What are the considerations in accordance with EU (Air) Ops when calculating the landing distance required?

A

lowest value of:

1) most favourable runway in still air
2) most likely runway in forecast winds
