JAR - FCL INTRODUCTION The following flight planning tables allow the planner to determine trip fuel consumption and trip time required to cover a given air distance. These tables are established for: - Takeoff - Climb profile : 250kt/300kt/M.80 - Cruise mach number: M.80, M.82, M.84, LR - Descent profile: Cruise Mach number/300kt/250kt - Approach and landing : 240 kg - 6 minute IFR - ISA - CG = 37 % - Normal air conditioning -Anti ice OFF Note: 1. In the tables, the asterisk (*} means that a step climb of 4000 feet must be flown to reach the corresponding FL. 2. To obtain a flight plan at optimum cruise level, the highest flight level desired within the flight has to be selected in the table. 3. For each degree Celsius above ISA temperature apply fuel correction 0.010 (kg/C/NM) x ISA(C) x Air Distance (NM). CORRECTION FOR DEVIATION FROM REFERENCE LANDING WEIGHT The fuel consumption must be corrected when the actual landing weight is different from the reference landing weight If it is lover (or greater) man the reference landing weight subtract (or add) the value given in the correction part of the table per 1000 kg below (or above) the reference landing weight.

FUEL TANKERING

FUEL TANKERING

GENERAL Fuel tankering graphs allow to determine the Optimum fuel quantity to be tankered as a function of the fuel price ratio between departure and destination airports. The following pages present for one flight level per page the Optimum aircraft takeoff weight depending on the fuel price ratio (departure fuel price divided by destination fuel price) and on the air distance to fly. The computed optimum takeoff weight is based on the additional fuel consumption needed for the transport of the extra (tankered) fuel and it is the weight at which the maximum profit can be achieved. The quantity of extra fuel that can be loaded is calculated as the difference between the Optimum takeoff weight (including extra fuel) and the planned takeoff weight {without fuel tankering). The graphs are established for: - FL 290, 310, 330, 350, 370, 390 - Air distances from 500 to 5000 NM - Flight profile : Climb 250kt/300kt/M.80 Cruise M.80 Descent M.80/300kt/250kt

Note:
1. ff necessary, step climbs are performed to reach the indicated flight levels. 2. The crew/operator has to verify that the found aircraft weight complies with basic aircraft limitations (e.g. max fuel capacity) as well as with mission dependent restrictions (e.g. MLW at destination).

EXAMPLES 1. Fuel price ratio = 0.930 Cruising Altitude = FL310 Planned TOW = 200 000 kg (mission weight without fuel tankering) Air Distance = 2500 NM Enter graph For the given air distance, the optimum fuel tankering weight is 187 000 kg, which is lower than the planned takeoff weight d no fuel tankering recommended. 2. fuel price ratio = 0.890 Cruising Altitude = FL 350 Planned TOW = 190 000 kg (mission weight without fuel tankering) Air Distance = 3250 NM Enter graph For the given air distance, the optimum fuel tankering weight is 198 000 kg, which is 8 000 kg higher than the planned takeoff weight d optimum quantity of extra fuel is 8 000 kg. Check : a) new TOW less or equal MTOW from departure airport. b) total fuel to be loaded less or equal maximum fuel capacity. c) MLW at destination

Step Climb simplified Fuel Planning (Fig. 4.3.5)

This chart allows the planner to optimise aeroplane performance by increasing the cruise altitude in 4000 ft. steps in order to allow for the increase in optimum altitude as aeroplane weight decreases. The graph is valid for altitudes with 'Step Climb' of 4000 ft. to 2000 ft above optimum altitude. The graph provides trip fuel and time, at LRC or 0.74M, from brake release to touchdown. The method of use is the same as that for the constant altitude charts except that the argument of 'brake release weight is used in place of cruise 'pressure altitude'- see example on chart Figure 4.3.5 SIMPLIFIED FLIGHT PLANNING STEPPED CLIMB CRUISE

It is inadvisable to fly when suffering from a cold. The reason for this is: a) the tissue around the nasal end of the Eustachian tube is likely to be swollen thus causing difficulty in equalising the pressure within the middle ear and the nasal/throat area. Pain and damage to the eardrum can result, particularly during fast descents because it will seriously affect peripheral vision swollen tissue in the inner ear will increase the rate of metabolic production resulting in hyperventilation although the change in air pressure during a climb at lower altitudes is very small, it increases rapidly at high altitudes. If the tissue in the Eustachian tube of the ear is swollen, gentle descents at high altitude would result in damage to the ear drum

All pilots should master it because the aeronautical world needs one common language.

096.)

Which of the following statements best fits the definition of an active error? Active error is: a) b) c) d) produced by the operator and can be rapidly detected rare in front-line actions and difficult to detect owing to the fact that it usually occurs in a complex system of uncontrolled and involuntary deviations produced either by a front-line operator or by a remote operator and results in a hidden or latent consequence at a specific moment of the action essentially results from the application of a bad rule or the poor application of a good rule by aeroplane designers

Which of the following statements fits best the concept of latent error? Latent errors: have been present in the system for a certain length of time and are difficult to identify as a result of the time lag between the generation and the occurrence of the error are rarely made by front-line operators, and are consequently readily identified and detected by the monitoring, detection and warning links rapidly may be detected via their immediate consequences on the action in progress are mainly associated with the behaviour of front-line operators and are only detected after advanced problem-solving

101.)

Why must flight safety considerations consider the human error mechanism? -1: It is analysis of an incident or accident which will make it possible to identify what error has been committed and by whom. It is the process whereby the perpetrator is made responsible which may lead to elimination of the error. -2: If we have a better understanding of the cognitive error mechanism, it will be possible to adapt procedures, aircraft interfaces, etc. -3: It is error management procedure which enables us to continuously adjust our actions. The better we understand the underlying mechanism of an error, the better will be our means for detecting and reducing future errors. -4: Since error is essentially human, once it has been identified by the use of procedures, a person will be able to anticipate and deal with it automatically in the future.

A flight is to depart from an airport with runways 09 and 27. Surface wind is 270/05; an inversion is reported at 300 feet with turbulence and wind shear. The wind just above the inversion is 090/30. What is the safest departure procedure ? a) b) c) d) Take-off is not possible under these conditions. Depart on runway 09 with a tailwind. Depart runway 27 with as steep an ascent as possible. Depart runway 27 with maximum throttle during the passage through the inversion.

773.)

The turbulence which occurs at high flight levels (above FL 250) is mainly of the type Clear Air Turbulence. In what way can moderate to severe Clear Air Turbulence affect an aircraft, the flight and the passengers? a) The turbulence is a small scale one and can cause damage. The manoeuvring of the aircraft will be made more difficult or even impossible. For the passengers the flight will be unpleasant. The turbulence is a large scale one (waving) so that the aircraft will be difficult to manoeuvre. The passengers will feel some discomfort. The turbulence is wave like which makes the flight unpleasant for the passengers but the manoeuvring will not be affected essentially. The turbulence can be resembled with the roughness of a washing-board (small scale) and will not have influence on the aircraft and its solidity, but will make flight a little more difficult. The passengers will seldom notice anything of this turbulence.

Aircraft struck by lightning may sometimes get considerable damage and at least temporarily the manoeuvring of the aircraft will be made more difficult. Which one of the following statements is correct? a) An aircraft has in the atmosphere the same qualities as a "Faradays cage", which means that struck of lightning seldom occurs. But if it happens, the result will be an occasional engine failure. The crew may get a shock. Aircraft made by composite material may get severe damage, the crew may be blinded and temporarily lose the hearing. Aircraft made by composite material can't conduct a lightning and will therefore very seldom be struck. An aircraft made by metal has a certain capacity to attract a lightning, but the lightning will follow the surface and therefore no damage will be caused.

Which statement in respect of a trimmable horizontal stabiliser is correct? An aeroplane with a forward cg requires the stabiliser leading edge to be lower than for one with an aft cg in the same trimmed condition. An aeroplane with a forward cg requires the stabiliser leading edge to be higher than for one with an aft cg in the same trimmed condition. Because take-off speeds do not vary with centre of gravity location, the need for stabiliser adjustment is dependant on flap position only. At the forward C.G. limit , stabiliser trim is adjusted fully nose down to obtain maximum elevator authority at rotation during take-off.
