An aeroplane with reciprocating engines is planning to depart for an isolated destination aerodrome, as a Commercial Air Transport operation. Calculate the minimum amount of fuel required when overhead the isolated aerodrome, considering the following details?
Flight time: 2 hours and 45 minutes
Top of climb to top of descent time: 2 hours
Normal fuel consumption at cruise: 600 kg per hour
Use the following information to calculate the total amount of fuel required for a Commercial Air Transport flight in a Medium Range Jet Transport MRJT aeroplane, with no destination alternate?
APU fuel flow: 115 kg/h
Taxi Fuel: 11 kg per minute
Planned APU usage at the parking position: 15 minutes
Planned taxi time: 15 minutes at both departure and destination aerodromes
Total trip distance: 315 NM
Average fuel flow: 2878 kg/h
TAS: 440 kt
Average headwind component: 16 kt
Contingency Fuel: 5 minutes Holding Fuel Holding fuel flow: 2200 kg/h
Answer in KG
Determine the Take-off Mass (TOM) for the following single engine aeroplane.
Given Basic Empty Mass 1764 lbs Optional Equipment 35 lbs Pilot + Front seat passenger 300 lbs Cargo Mass 350 lbs Take-off Fuel 60 Gal Trip Fuel 35 Gal Fuel density 6 lbs/Gal
An aircraft flies a planned heading of 040* according to the forecast wind of 160° T40 kt.
If the aircraft finally experiences in-flight a wind of 100*(T40 kt, which of the following statements is correct?
The engines always feed from each individual inner tank (left engine from left tank and right engine from right tank).
The trim tank transfer all content to the inner tanks when the inner tanks have less than 4000kg.
The outer tanks transfer all content to the inner tanks when the inner tanks have less than 3500 kg.
The fuel state of the aeroplane is as follows:
Trim tank: Full.
Outer tanks: Full.
During the flight, the trim tank transfer pump fail when the total fuel on board is 18620 kg. What is the Remaining endurance if the aeroplane fuel consumption is 96 kg/min?
Refer to GSPRM-VFR Chart ED-4.
Find the magnetic course for a flight from Germany to Czech Republic?
Departure airfield is REGENSBURG (EDNR, N49° 08.52' E012 04.92') and destination airfield is STRUNKOVICE (LKSR, N49*4.95’E14*4.55').
The engines always feed from each individual inner tank (left engine from left tank and right engine from right tank)?
When the inner tanks have 4000 kg fuel in them the trim tack transfer all its content evenly between the two inner tanks.
When the inner tanks have less than 3500 kg the outer tanks transfer all their content into their respective inner tank via transfer valves.
During flight when the fuel quantity reaches 12730 kg the left-hand transfer valve between the left outer and inner tanks fail to open.
What is the remaining endurance for the right engine if the fuel flow is 5420 kg/h?
Refer to ALICANTE - charts 19-1, 19-2 and 19-3 from Jeppesen GSPRM 2017.
A VFR flight intends to land at Alicante Aerodrome (LEAL). The aircraft is currently overhead VFR report point SE, following the Tabarca route to intercept the South Route. The pilot expects delays, as the airport is busy with IFR arrivals and departures.
Where might the pilot be expected to hold?
The aeroplane uses fuel in the following order:
Each engine feeds from the inner tank of the wing (Left engine feeds from Left Inner Tank; Right Engine from Right Inner Tank) When the inner tanks have 4000 Kg then the Trim Tank transfers all its contents equally to the Inner Tanks. When the Inner Tanks have 3500 Kg then the Outer tanks transfer their contents to the Inner Tanks via Transfer Valves.
Fuel state: Outer Tanks FULL Trim Tank FULL
During the flight the Trim Tank transfer pump fails when the total fuel on board is 18620 Kg
What is the Aeroplanes Total Endurance if the fuel consumption is 96 Kg/Min?
Given the following information, calculate the distance from position A to the Point of Safe Return (PSR):
Distance from A to B: 2900 NM
True airspeed: 470 kt
Average wind component "out": +55 kt
Average wind component "back": -75 kt
Safe Endurance: 9 h 30 min
For which flights are Flight Plans required?
1) IFR flights.
2) IFR and VFR flights.
3) Flights crossing national boundaries.
4) Flights over water.
5) Public transport flights.
