Question 1

An aircraft departs at 09:00 local time and flies for 4 hours 45 minutes. What is the arrival time?

Accepted Answer

13:45

09:00 + 4 hours = 13:00; 13:00 + 45 minutes = 13:45.

Question 2

No VFR flight may enter Class A airspace. Aircraft N88TQ entered Class A airspace. What must be true?

Accepted Answer

N88TQ is not VFR

Answer

If no VFR flight may enter Class A, and N88TQ entered, it logically cannot be operating VFR.

Question 3

A controller manages 8 aircraft. Three are handed off every 15 minutes and two new ones check in every 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, how many aircraft remain?

Accepted Answer

7

Answer

Handoffs: 6 in 30 min; check-ins: 6 in 30 min; net = 8 - 6 + 6 = 8 — recheck: handoffs every 15 min = 3 at 15 min, 3 at 30 min = 6 total; check-ins every 10 min = 2 at 10, 2 at 20, 2 at 30 = 6 total; 8 - 6 + 6 = 8.

Question 4

City C = 125 min; City B = 45 min; difference = 80 min = 1 hour 20 minutes.
