Private Pilot Stage 3 Exam
What combination of conditions is most detrimental to takeoff and climb performance?correct
answerHigh temperature, high humidity, and high altitude
According to the accompanying chart, pressure altitude of 5,000 feet with a temperature of +40C will
result in a density altitude of approximatelycorrect answer8,900 feet
According to the accompanying takeoff distance chart and the following conditions, what is the total
distance necessary to clear a 50-foot obstacle?correct answer1,732 feet
Using the listed conditions and the accompanying landing distance chart, determine the distance
required to land over a 50-foot barriercorrect answer1,470 feet
Use the accompanying maximum rate-of-climb chart and the listed conditions to determine the rate of
climbcorrect answer765 f.p.m.
What is the difference between the range and the endurance of an aircraft?correct answerWith a given
amount of fuel, range is the distance that the aircraft can fly, and endurance is the amount of time that
the aircraft can remain in the air.
Center of gravity is defined as the theoretical pointcorrect answerwhere all of the aircraft's weight is
considered to be concentrated
One of the items included in an aircraft's basic empty weight iscorrect answerunusable fuel
What is the CG location after the airplane is loaded with full fuel?correct answer42.66 inches
How much fuel can be carried in the aircraft without exceeding a maximum takeoff weight of 2,700
pounds?correct answer19.6 gallons
Using the loading specifications from the previous problem, the total moment iscorrect
answer113,8976.4 pound-inches
Assume an aircraft has a total weight of 2,950 pounds and a total moment of 210,700 pound-inches. If
the CG range is from 82.1 to 86.7 inches, what action, if any, should you take before you fly the aircraft?
correct answerMove some load aft in the aircraft
Based on the following conditions, what is the total moment/1000 pound-inches?correct answer96.8
According to the center of gravity moment envelope, the aircraft's CG iscorrect answerwithin normal
category limits but outside utility category limits
The time-speed-distance function of your flight computer can be used to solve forcorrect
answergroundspeed and fuel consumption
If your aircraft's fuel consumption rate is 5.6 g.p.h., how much fuel will it use on a flight of 230 n.m. with
an average groundspeed of 93 knots?correct answer13.8 gallons
Determine the density altitude using the listed conditionscorrect answer4097 feet
