Your concern says, very clearly, that the confusion relates to what fuel SG values you are using. Keep in mind that the old "standard" SGs of 0....
Following on from my earlier comments. You now have the answer as to how to approach the question. However, it is worth including a comment a...
Ah hah ! Now I am in the picture. Afraid you are using the wrong chart. Q8 relates only to the takeoff chart and has naught to do with the climb ...
Unfortunately, I don't have any of the paperwork to which you are referring so I'm a little bit wading about in the swamp, here. I had presumed that ...
The chart data is there to provide usable information to the pilot. Whence would you obtain TAS as an instrument reading in the cockpit of a smal...
First, whence comes your 210m figure ?
"Unusable fuel" is a certification definition and is included in the empty weight of the aircraft - ie, it doesn't come into operational calculations ...
I'm with you, Sam. Always, with multi-guess questions, test each and every answer to get rid of the wrong ones, first. (a) [color=red][i][b]Assert...

In short, there is no specific answer to your question. You need to think back to what the coefficient is doing for us. By using non-dimensional ...
Problem is do you know what the basis of the chart you might be using is ? For the old DCA P-charts, the CAO 101.22 factors were built in. If ...
Notwithstanding a literal reading of the CAO, the aim is to be conservative in determining the LW limited takeoff weight or local landing weight when ...
With the graphic, I can run a calculation. Reading via a drawing package (which allows for very accurate plotting), the answer looks to be 20.6nm f...
Dan, I don't have a copy of Bob's book so I don't know just what it might say. The only concern I might have with your first post is that it ...
