ATPL Flight Planning Practice Questions - CASA Airline Transport Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) - Flight Planning (AFPA) Exam - ATPL Flight Planning Practice Questions - CASA Airline Transport Pilot Licence (Aeroplane)

Question 1

A B727 is cruising at FL330 with a TAS of 460 kt. The track is 090°T and the wind velocity is 270°/50 kt. What is the groundspeed and the time required to cover a sector distance of 230 NM?

Groundspeed is 510 kt; time required is 30 minutes. Groundspeed is 410 kt; time required is 34 minutes. Groundspeed is 460 kt; time required is 30 minutes. Groundspeed is 510 kt; time required is 27 minutes.

Correct Answer:

Groundspeed is 510 kt; time required is 27 minutes.

Question 2

Given a sector distance of 340 NM, a TAS of 470 kt, and a constant headwind component of 60 kt, calculate the sector flight time and the fuel burn if the aircraft fuel flow (FF) is 4,800 kg/hr.

Time: 55.4 minutes; Fuel burn: 4,432 kg. Time: 49.8 minutes; Fuel burn: 4,320 kg. Time: 49.8 minutes; Fuel burn: 3,980 kg. Time: 43.4 minutes; Fuel burn: 3,472 kg.

Correct Answer:

Time: 49.8 minutes; Fuel burn: 3,980 kg.

Question 3

An aircraft is planned to climb from Sea Level to FL310. The climb tables indicate: time to climb is 18 minutes, distance covered is 85 NM, and fuel used is 1,200 kg. If the average headwind component during climb is 20 kt, what is the ground distance covered during the climb?

85 NM. 73 NM. 91 NM. 79 NM.

Correct Answer:

79 NM.

Question 4

During a high-altitude sector, your flight plan specifies a track of 180°T, a TAS of 450 kt, and wind from 270°T at 90 kt. What is the drift angle and the groundspeed (GS) using navigation computer principles?

Drift angle: 11.5° Left; GS: 441 kt. Drift angle: 11.5° Right; GS: 459 kt. Drift angle: 11.5° Right; GS: 441 kt. Drift angle: 9.0° Right; GS: 430 kt.

Correct Answer:

Drift angle: 11.5° Left; GS: 441 kt.

Question 5

Define 'Sector Fuel' in the context of flight planning logs under Australian regulations.

The fuel required to fly from departure to destination, including alternate and variable reserves. The minimum fuel required to fly from the point of entry of a flight information region (FIR) to its exit. The fuel required to perform a step climb within a sector, including cruise and taxi allowances. The fuel required to fly from the start of a sector to the end of that sector, based on planned cruise speed and expected meteorological conditions, excluding reserve fuels.

Correct Answer:

The fuel required to fly from the start of a sector to the end of that sector, based on planned cruise speed and expected meteorological conditions, excluding reserve fuels.
