Both ZFW and Takeoff weight are within the envelope. See table at left. 2. To find out how much weight can be added in Zone 2, simply see what effect 50 kg added there would havesee table at right. Note: Max weight allowable up to Max t/off weight 1115 kg. Do not go over this! 3. Check Takeoff C of G position at 960 kg/2909 and 1010 kg/2943 respectively. See graph below. 4. Note that trend line leaves the rear of the envelope at about 1060 kg. 5. Weight that can be added to row 2 is 1060 kg - 960 = 100 kg 6. CASA would likely round this down a few kg so answer B 90 kg would be the correct one. 7. Be aware that accurate plotting on such a poorly defined load envelope as this is near impossible.

Copyright Avfacts 2014 - All rights reserved. PPL practice exam 3/page 4. Q8. An airplane descends to an airport given the following conditions: Cruising altitude 6500 ft Destination aerodrome elevation 700 ft Descends to 800 ft AGL Rate of descent 500 ft/min Average true airspeed 110 kt True course 335 Average wind velocity 030 T at 20 kt. Variation 6 W Determine the approximate time, compass heading, distance, during the descent. Working: 1. Vertical distance in descent to 1500 ft (800 + 700) AMSL is 5000 ft. 2. At a 500 fpm rate of descent this will take 10 minutes. 3. From wind side of navigation computer find ETAS 109 kt, groundspeed 97 kt (109 kt-12kt). 4. 10 minutes in descent at 97 kt means Top of Descent (TopD) is 16 nm from aerodrome. 5. Drift is 9 left (wind from right), so heading to steer is 344 T = 350 M. Q12. Your are nearing the destination airport and have tuned in the destination NDB beacon. After some turns to avoid cloud you become unsure of the direction to the destination airport. If the magnetic heading is 040 and the ADF needle point reads 290 relative. The magnetic heading to fly direct TO this radio beacon, assuming no wind would be? Working: 1. Heading + relative bearing = track to beacon, so 290 + 40 = 330 M TO the NDB beacon. Answer! Q13. You are approaching your destination aerodrome, and are taking directions from ATC. You subsequently become aware that the gyro-compass has failed. If your current heading is 100 M, and ATC now command you to turn onto 180 M, your rollout heading using the standby direct indicating compass would be closest to? Thinking: 1. Use ONUS rule (Over-turn North/Under-turn South). 2. The error on 180 M is 30 degrees (under-turn). So role out before 180 by 30 degrees. 3. Roll out on 150 degrees. Answer!

Flight Planned journey is from NARRABRI (YNBR) (3019S 14950E) direct to ST GEORGE (YSGE) (2803S 14836E). To remain clear of cloud after departing YNBR you divert left of planned TR along the YNBR - WALGETT railway line. At WEE WAA township (approximately 20 nm WNW YNBR) you decide to track direct to YSGE. Cruise level ARFOR wind is 040 T/20 kt. TAS is 120 kt 120 kt The HDG (M) to steer to YSGE in these conditions is closest to? Working. 1. True track is 341 T. Magnetic track is 331 M (Var 10 E). 2. Wind is from 030 M@20 kt. 3. Refer diagram above. 4. Drift is 8 Left. 5. Heading to steer is therefore 339 M (331 + 8). 20 kt TAS 331 MC 10 kt 8 17 kt 040 17 kt Q15. In Australia, in what direction from the departure aerodrome will the end of daylight (expressed in LMT) be later during winter? Refer to AIP Daylight darkness graphs for winter period (say June).
