Given: |
|
|
Dry Op Mass |
= 33 510 kg |
|
Traffic Load |
= 7600 kg |
|
Final reserve fuel |
= 983 kg |
|
Alternate fuel |
= 1100 kg |
|
Contingency fuel |
= 102 kg |
The estimated landing mass at the alternate should be:
a.42 312 kg
b.42 093 kg
c.42 210 kg
d.42 195 kg
2.What is the purpose of Decision Point Procedure?
a.Carry minimum fuel to increase Traffic Load
b.Increase safety of the flight
c.Reduce landing mass to avoid stressing the aircraft
d.Reduce contingency fuel to below that required from Decision Point to destination
3.What is Decision Point Procedure?
It is a procedure to reduce the amount of fuel carried on a flight by:
a.reducing contingency fuel from 10% to 5% of trip fuel
b.reducing contingency fuel to only that required from Decision Point to destination
c.reducing trip fuel to only that required from Decision Aerodrome to destination
d.reducing contingency fuel to below that required from Decision Point to destination
4.Turbojet a/c; taxi fuel 600 kg; fuel flow cruise 10 000 kg/h; fuel flow hold 8000 kg/h; alternate fuel 10 200 kg; flight time 6 hours; visibility at destination 2000 m. What is the minimum ramp fuel?
a.80 500 kg
b.79 200 kg
c.77 800 kg
d.76 100 kg
5.Given: DOM 33 510 kg; Traffic load 7600 kg. Trip fuel 2040 kg. Final reserve 983 kg. Alternate fuel 1100 kg. Contingency 5% of trip fuel.
Which of the following is correct?
a.Est. landing mass at destination 43 193 kg

Multi-engine a/c on IFR flight. Given: trip fuel 65 US gal; contingency 5% trip; |
|||||
|
|
|
||||
|
Alternate fuel including final reserve 17 US gal; Usable fuel at departure 93 US |
|
|
|
||
|
gal. At a point halfway to destination, fuel consumed is 40 US gal. Assuming fuel |
2 |
||||
|
consumption is unchanged, which of the following is correct? |
|||||
|
|
Questions |
||||
|
a. |
At departure reserve fuel was 28 US gal |
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|||
|
b. |
At destination required reserves remain intact |
|
|
|
|
|
c. |
Remaining fuel is insufficient to reach destination with reserves intact |
|
|
|
|
|
d. |
At destination there will be 30 gal in tanks |
|
|
|
|
7. |
Minimum planned take-off fuel is 160 kg (30% total reserve is included). Assume the |
|
|
|
||
|
ground speed on this trip is constant. When half the distance has been flown, the |
|
|
|
||
|
remaining fuel is 70 kg. Is it necessary to divert to a nearby alternate? |
|
|
|
||
|
a. |
Diversion to a nearby alternate is necessary, because the remaining fuel is not |
|
|
|
|
|
|
sufficient |
|
|
|
|
|
b. |
Diversion to a nearby alternate is not necessary, because the reserve fuel has |
|
|
|
|
|
|
not been used completely |
|
|
|
|
|
c. |
Diversion to a nearby alternate is necessary, because it is allowed to calculate |
|
|
|
|
|
|
the fuel without reserve |
|
|
|
|
|
d. |
Diversion to a nearby alternate is necessary, unless the captain decides to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
continue on his own responsibility |
