Answer 10

TODR

50ft

15 degrees

Question 11

because the graphs only permit the calculation of rate of climb, it is necessary to use certain formula to solve take-off climb problems

time to climb (seconds) =

Answer 11

(height difference (ft) / rate of climb (fpm)) x 60

Question 12

because the graphs only permit the calculation of rate of climb, it is necessary to use certain formula to solve take-off climb problems

distance to climb (NM) =

Answer 12

(height difference (ft) / ROC (fpm)) x (groundspeed (kt) / 60)

Question 13

because the graphs only permit the calculation of rate of climb, it is necessary to use certain formula to solve take-off climb problems

still air climb gradient =

Answer 13

see image
