ATPL Flight Planning Exam Questions With 100% Correct Answers 2024When asked to find the optimum level for a flight plan what weight do you need to find first? - Correct Answer-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 Answer-You need the BRW
When finding the optimum flight level what graph do you need? - Correct Answer-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
Answer-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 Answer-Use EBRW formula which involves the LDW
Backwards flight planning formula for EBRW? - Correct Answer-EBRW= LW + (total distance x 10kg/nm + 1600) Explain the process for finding the maximum flight level to cruise at? - Correct Answer-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.
4. If BRW is over table weight, identify by how much and if by TOC the aircraft will have burnt the excess weight or not (use climb tables). If it wont burn enough fuel check next highest level. Continue until you find the correct level.
Explain the process for finding the optimum level to cruise at? - Correct Answer-1. Identify which hemispherical levels to pick
from
2. Obtain EMZW 3. Using EMZW value & Mach N.o. (Given) under optimum weight column, find the closest match to your EMZW value at the corresponding correct hemispherical level. Closest match.
4. Dont forget to also check the "cruise thrust limits" side of the graph with your BRW to determine if you will be under the corresponding value by TOC. If not, choose a different hemispherical level.
When calculating ISA variation for climb, cruise & descent what is important to remember when taking info off the RSWT? - Correct Answer-Climb = Use 2/3 level for climb. Up to
and including FL310 use FL185 data.
For flights above FL310 use FL235 data.
Cruise = Use closest level to planned cruising level
Descent = Use 1/2 level for descent. Usually 185 values.
What is the generic TAS values for Climb and Descent? - Correct Answer-Climb use 400 kts
