ATPL Flight Planning questions with correct answers 100%

ATPL Flight Planning When asked to find the optimum level for a flight plan what weight do you need to find first? - correct answers EMZW When asked to find the maximum level for a flight plan what values do you need before you look at the climb chart? - correct answers You need the BRW When finding the optimum flight level what graph do you need? - correct answers Altitude capability graph p 2 -14 When planning a backwards flight plan (i.e. you are given the LW weight or similar) what is the formula for EMZW? - correct answers EMZW= LW + (total distance x 10/2) If you are given a backwards flight planning question how do you find out what level to fly at with no BRW given? - correct answers Use EBRW formula which involves the LDW Backwards flight planning formula for EBRW? - correct answers EBRW= LW + (total distance x 10kg/nm + 1600) Explain the process for finding the maximum flight level to cruise at? - correct answers 1. Identify which hemispherical levels to pick from 2. Obtain BRW (given or using EBRW formula) 3. Trial & error, pick highest FL with MACH N.o. (given) & use the weather (ISA variation to nearest 5C for table) at that level given in the RSWT to see if the you will exceed the "cruise thrust limits" for that particular weight.
