Congratulations on achieving a pass in Performance. It's been a pleasure watching you progress though the theory mine field. All the best with your ...
Please don't slit your wrists just yet. Put that box cutter down! A PNR calculation has nothing to do with the planned trip. If you decide t...
Don't use 2xTAS unless there is no wind, or a direct head or tail wind. It's much safer to use the two ground speeds. Time to PNR = Safe Endurance x...
Trip fuel is all of the fuel you are going to burn from departure to overhead the destination. It doesn't include any reserves or holding fuel, it's ...
If the question asked for just the safe endurance, wind would not affect that. But if the question asked you to calculate the position of the PNR, th...
John's take is exactly what I tell classes. If the question says 'is closest to', then that's what it means. Pick the numerically nearest answer. ...
If no specific aeroplane is specified, you can assume it is referring to the Echo since that is the only manual you have. I have included a note in t...
The examiner will tell you which compartments to use for shifting or adding or subtracting weight. He does not expect that you will use any other co...
The Gross Weight and Moment given in this question puts your present condition inside the envelope but close to the aft limit. The questions asks you...
If the problem involves the [b]aft limit[/b], you can use the flow chart for [b]all operations[/b] - adding, subtracting or shifting weight. If the...
In the current book the question says that you break out of cloud at 850feet and then find that you can't land on RWY 22. The circling minima is 1000...
Thanks for that 'Stormy'. Congratulations on an excellent score as well. What a pity you just missed out on a perfect score of 100%. Well done! ...
Lift and drag result from the behaviour of the passing airflow as it interacts with the SHAPE of the aircraft. The WEIGHT of the aircraft has nothing...
Well it's certainly not one of our questions. I agree that the wording leaves something to be desired. If the aircraft adopts a final direction that...
In this case, you have assessed the fuel on board over the NDB is 95 gallons and you have burnt 15.8 gallons since departure. So the fuel on board at...
