Teeny tiny cats always fight angry elephants

Question 2

What does the normal taxi fuel consist of

Answer 2

Based on airport of departure

Question 3

What does normal trip fuel consist of

Answer 3

Take off 
Climb 
Cruise 
Descent 
Approach 
Land

Question 4

What does normal contingency fuel consist of

Answer 4

Greater of:

5% trip fuel

Or

5 min of flight time at 1500’ above destination in ISA conditions

Question 5

If questions says “en-route” alternate nominated

What is the contingency fuel

Answer 5

The greater of

3% trip fuel

Or

5 min flight time

Question 6

What is decision point departure “reduced contingency fuel procedure”

Answer 6

The greater of:

Trip fuel to destination via decision point
\+ 
Contingency fuel (5% fuel from decision point to destination) 

Or

Trip fuel to alternate via decision point
+ contingency (5% trip fuel from departure to alternate)

Question 7

What is the alternate fuel for pre determined point procedure to continue to destination

Answer 7

For reciprocating engines =
Fly for 45mins 
\+ 
15% of flight time at cruise 
Or 
2 hours whichever is less 

For turbine=
2 hours at normal cruise consumption over destination

Question 8

What is the alternate fuel for pre determined point procedure to alternate

Answer 8

Reciprocating engines = fuel to fly for 45mins

Turbine engines = fuel to fly for 30 mins at hold speed at 1500ft above destination

Question 9

What is isolated aerodrome procedure

Answer 9

Combination of final reserve and additional fuel must be enough to fly for 2 hours at cruise consumption

Question 10

What information sources are available

Answer 10

Air information publication 
Notices to airman 
TAF/ METARS 
wind / temp charts 
ATIS 
Fuel / performance planning data 
Charts / SIDS / STARS / IAPs

Question 11

What is in aeronautical information publication (AIP) general section

Answer 11

Section 1 = regulations / requirements
Section 2 = tables / codes
Section 3 = services including search and rescue
Section 4 = changes

Question 12

What is in aeronautical information publication (AIP) en-route section

Answer 12

Includes flight rules (VFR / IFR)

Radio nav aids charts

Question 13

What is in aeronautical information publication (AIP) aerodrome section

Answer 16

BFO required

Question 17

What does a 2 in a diamond mean on a chart

Answer 17

The sides of a hold are 2 mins long instead of 1

Question 18

What does 5000T mean

Answer 18

MOCA number

Minimum obstacle clearance altitude

Question 19

What does 4000a mean on a chart

Answer 19

MORA

Question 20

What is maximum authorised altitude (MAA)

Answer 20

A published altitude representing the maximum usable altitude or flight level for an airspace structure or route segment

Question 21

What is minimum crossing altitude (MCA)

Answer 21

The lowest altitude at certain fixes at which an aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher minimum enroute IFR altitude (MEA)

Question 22

What is minimum descent altitude / height (MDA/A) (ICAO)

Answer 22

A specified altitude or height in a non precision approach or circling approach below which descent may not be made without visual reference

Question 23

What is minimum en route altitude (MEA)

Answer 23

The lowest published altitude between radio fixes that meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixed and in many countries assures acceptable navigational signal coverage. The MEA applies to the entire width of the airway segment or route between the radio fixes defining the airway segment or route

Question 24

What are the minimum IFR altitudes

Answer 24

Minimum altitudes for IFR operations are published in aeronautical charts for airways, routes and for standard instrument approaches, within the USA if no applicable minimum altitude is prescribed the following minimum IFR alts apply l;

1) mountainous areas 2000fr above higher obstacle within 5nm
2) non mountainous areas 1000ft above highest obstacle within 5nm

Question 25

Minimum obstruction clearance altitude (MOCA)

Answer 25

Lowest altitude in effect between radio fixes on VOR airways / off airway routes / route segments which meets the clearance requirements for entire route segments

Question 26

What is minimum off route altitude (MORA)

Answer 26

Obstacle clearance within 10nm of the route centreline

Question 27

What do SIDS and STARS do

Answer 27

Minimise radio communications and de conflict airspace
