  1. An aircraft travels at 180 knots for 2.5 hours. What is the total distance covered?

    Answer: 450 nm

    Distance = speed × time, so 180 knots × 2.5 hours = 450 nautical miles.

  2. An aircraft burns fuel at 12 gallons per hour. If the flight is 3.5 hours, how much fuel is consumed?

    Answer: 42 gallons

    Fuel consumed = burn rate × time, so 12 gph × 3.5 hours = 42 gallons.

  3. An aircraft weighs 3,200 lbs empty. With 200 lbs of fuel and a 170 lb pilot, what is the total weight?

    Answer: 3,570 lbs

    Total weight = 3,200 + 200 + 170 = 3,570 lbs.

  4. Convert 100 knots to miles per hour. (1 knot = 1.151 mph)

    Answer: 115.1 mph

    100 knots × 1.151 mph/knot = 115.1 mph.

  5. An aircraft is at 5,000 ft where the standard temperature is +5°C. The actual outside air temperature is +10°C. What is the ISA temperature deviation?

    Answer: +5°C

    ISA deviation = actual temperature − standard temperature = 10°C − 5°C = +5°C.

  6. An aircraft flies at 120 knots indicated airspeed. Applying a TAS correction factor of 1.05 for altitude, what is the true airspeed?

    Answer: 126 knots

    TAS = IAS × correction factor = 120 × 1.05 = 126 knots.

  7. An aircraft needs to travel 360 nm at a groundspeed of 150 knots. What is the estimated time en route (ETE)?

    Answer: 2 hours 24 min

    ETE = distance ÷ groundspeed = 360 ÷ 150 = 2.4 hours = 2 hours 24 minutes.
