Question 1 of 15
1. Question
In the Bonanza take-off chart above, work out the TODR in feet.
Runways: 09 27 Pressure alt: 4000 OAT 10ºC Aircraft Weight: 3200 lbs
Wind: 270°M 10 kt To Clear Obstacle: 50 FT
Further notes thanks to Sergey.
“using the optimum runway 27 results in 10 kt straight headwind…”
However, exact definition of TODR requires an additional safety factor of 1.15 (for small (with MTOW < 5700 kg) aircraft, see CAO 2.7.4 §6). The manufacturer’s charts don’t account for it.Correct
Find 10ºC, follow up to 4000 ft, go across to next section.
Follow slope down to reach 3200 lbs, go across to next section.
Follow slope down to reach 10 kt headwind, go across to next section.
Follow slope upwards till 50 ft obstacle clearance.
This final point gives you take off distance in feet = 1800 feet

Question 3 of 15
3. Question
A suitable landing area on an ALA on say a farm or remote area for a 1500 kg aircraft should be at least how many meters wide according to CASA ALA guides?
Correct
From “Mapping of CAR to Part 91 of CASR (Dec 2021)”
CASA will be amending Part 135 CASR to include the relevant aircraft currently captured by CAR 235A and which are not encompassed by Part 91 of CASR. Part 135 CASR relates to smaller aeroplane air transport.

Question 4 of 15
4. Question
An ALA has a 5 m tower located 80 m off the end of an airstrip. What distance will this reduce the effective length of the takeoff strip?
Correct
Using the 1 in 20 rule or 5% Take off gradient. 20 x Height reduces by 100 m but it is located 80 m anyway. So thus 20 m reduction.
Please note: Although 1 in 20 rule allows for easy calculation the required takeoff gradient is 6% (CAO 2.7.4 §7).Incorrect

Question 6 of 15
6. Question
A pilot is trying to work out if it will be safe to take off at a small runway.
Calculated ground roll : 500 m Obstacle distance: 40 m
Obstacle height: 5 m
At what length would the runway become too short for this aircraft to mathematically take off?Correct
Ground roll requires 500 m.
5 m high obstacle requires 100 m to clear and is located 40 m off end of runway.
Runway effectively shortened 60 m by obstacle.
500 m + 60 m = 560 m mathematical minimum. Note this allows zero margin of safety!Incorrect

Question 7 of 15
7. Question
This is a theoretical C of G envelope for an aircraft you intend to fly.
The aircraft has a Take Off Weight (TOW) of 700 kg and you calculate the moment to be 600 mm from the datum point.
Is it safe to fly?Correct

Question 10 of 15
10. Question
You do your imperial calculations and you discover the C of G chart for the aircraft is in metric. Is the aircraft safe to fly with these weights?

Convert to inches to cm and lbs to kg. Should come out at approx. moment 134 index and 1457 kg.
Incorrect
Convert to inches to cm and lbs to kg. Should come out at approx. moment 134 index and 1457 kg.

Question 12 of 15
12. Question
Using a loading system Charlie (from RPL, PPL, & CPL(Aeroplane) workbook 02 December 2021 V3.0a), a pilot has the following details:
Empty weight: 780 kg Fuel: 220 kg Oil: 15 kg Row 1 Person : 200 kg
Row 2 PAX: 160 kg Baggage: 30 kg
Empty weight: 0 cm Fuel: 240 cm Oil: 80 cm Row 1 Person : 180 cm
Row 2 PAX: 280 cm Baggage: 300 cm
MTOW: 1400 kg Max Moment Index at MTOW 140
Is the aircraft within its safe to fly C of G envelope?Correct
Irrespective of the moment calculation which you didn’t need to do, it is over MTOW and thus not safe to fly.
If you did the calculation, never mind, it is great practice.Incorrect

Question 13 of 15
13. Question
If an aircraft has a datum point located at front tip of the spinner and assuming the tanks are located forward of the C of G, putting fuel into the tanks will move the centre of gravity forward.
Correct
Incorrect
-
Question 14 of 15
14. Question
A 6 seat aircraft is right on MTOW and right near the aft C of G limit, but within its C of G in the flight envelope. What could the pilot do prior to takeoff to make this situation safer?
Correct
Even when aircraft are within limits, if you can improve safety, you should. Moving the heavier passengers forward will assist in bringing the aircraft well within its envelope. Some will say it is unnecessary. But what if you have made a miscalculation?

Question 15 of 15
15. Question
Wind is 2 kt 230° Runways are 01 19 Aircraft Cessna 182 well under MTOW.
Runway 19 10 m obstacle 25 m from end of runway.
Runway 01 5 m obstacle located 200 m from end of runway.
A take off distance has been calculated and is 5 m too long to clear the obstacle located off end of runway 19.
What should the pilot do?Correct
2 kt tail wind is insignificant to takeoff performance, the wind is almost side on. The obstacle on runway 01 is 200 m away and 5 m tall. Using the 20:1 rule or 5% rule it is not really an obstacle that should affect the runway.
