AQT Aviation Mathematics & Calculations

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

450 nm

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

42 gallons

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

3,570 lbs

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

115.1 mph

Answer

100 knots × 1.151 mph/knot = 115.1 mph.

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

+5°C

Answer

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