Flight Planning

Question 1

Which climb schedule uses a lower climb speed
allowing it to get to the target altitude faster and
with a lower fuel burn?

Answer 1

Climb Schedule 1

Question 2

Describe Climb Schedule 1:

Answer 2

250 KIAS up to 10,000 ft, then accelerating to
275 KIAS and climbing at 275 KIAS/Mach 0.66
up to the selected altitude (AOM 6-10)

Question 3

Which climb schedule uses a shallower pitch

angle, which gives a lesser climb rate?

Answer 3

Climb Schedule 2

Question 4

Describe Climb Schedule 2:

Answer 4

250 KIAS up to 10,000 ft, then accelerating to
300 KIAS and climbing at 300 KIAS/Mach 0.70
up to the selected altitude (AOM 6-10)

Question 5

List the two ice protection system statuses that

planning tables are presented for:

Answer 5

OFF (both engine and wing and horizontal stabilizer
ice protection systems OFF) and ALL (both
engine and wing and horizontal stabilizer ice
protection systems ON) (AOM 6-10)

Question 6

What load factors are published in the Maneuver

Capability Altitude charts?

Answer 6

Various load factors from 1.2 g up to 1.5 g

AOM 6-30

Question 7

Describe the descent schedule that is used for

planning:

Answer 7

A descent at Mach 0.78 then 300 KIAS down to
10,000 ft, then a deceleration to 250 KIAS and
250 KIAS down to sea level (AOM 6-20)

Question 8

What speeds are holding tables presented for?

Answer 8

Minimum drag speed and 200 KIAS

AOM 6-25
