PPC

Question 1

When manual calculations are required, calculate PPC values IAW the appropriate operator’s manual and the instructions provided in task 1010 (ATM). Compute values within the following parameters:

Answer 1

• Torque values, +/- 2 percent
• Weight values, +/- 500 pounds
• Fuel flow, +/- 100 pounds per hour
• Airspeeds, +/- 5 knots

Question 2

Item 38- GO/NO-GO TQ:

Answer 2

If the GO/NO-GO TQ is exceeded at the desired HVR altitude, then MAX TQ AVAIL (10 minute limit) will be exceeded if OGE maneuvers are attempted. OGE maneuvers should not be attempted if GO/NO-GO TQ is exceeded.

Question 3

VALIDATION FACTOR:

Answer 3

Validation factor is a TQ value that is equal to your MAX allowable GWT for your mission profile based on departure conditions. If this value is exceeded prior to obtaining a desired wheel height HVR altitude then the aircraft GWT must be adjusted (unload cargo, passengers, or fuel) to ensure the aircraft is kept within the operator’s manual limitations.

Question 4

Calculate the PPC values using accurate conditions for the time of takeoff within the following parameters:

Answer 4

• Free air temp +/- 5 degrees celcius
• Pressure altitude (PA), +/- 500 ft.
• GWT +/- 500 lbs.
