ATSA Logical Reasoning Word Problems 3

Question 1

A controller sequences three arrivals spaced 5 minutes apart. The first lands at 14:10. At what time does the third aircraft land?

Accepted Answer

14:20

Answer

First lands at 14:10; second at 14:15; third at 14:20 (two 5-minute intervals later).

Question 2

Sector A has twice as many aircraft as Sector B. Sector B has 5 more aircraft than Sector C. If Sector C has 7 aircraft, how many total aircraft are in all three sectors?

Accepted Answer

41

Answer

Sector C = 7; Sector B = 7 + 5 = 12; Sector A = 12 × 2 = 24; total = 7 + 12 + 24 = 43 — recalculate: 43, so answer is 43.

Question 3

All aircraft on approach are below 10,000 ft. Flight UAL456 is at 12,000 ft. What must be true?

Accepted Answer

UAL456 is not on approach

Answer

Since all approach aircraft are below 10,000 ft and UAL456 is at 12,000 ft, it cannot be on approach.

Question 4

A ground delay program reduces departure rate by 30%. If the normal rate is 20 departures per hour, how many depart in 3 hours under the program?

Accepted Answer

42

Answer

Reduced rate = 20 × 0.70 = 14 per hour; over 3 hours = 14 × 3 = 42 departures.

Question 5

Five fixes are along a route: V, W, X, Y, Z. X is between W and Y. Z is the last fix. V is before W. What is the correct order?

Accepted Answer

V, W, X, Y, Z

Answer
