- Chapter 16: Navigation › Distance D = GS X T › Fuel Consumption
with reciprocating engines, the Aircraft Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) supplied by the aircraft manufacturer provides gallons-per-hour values to assist with preflight planning. When planning a flight, you must determine how much fuel is needed to reach ... your destination by calculating the distance the aircraft can travel (with winds considered) at a known rate of fuel consumption (gal/hr or lbs/hr) for the expected groundspeed (GS) and ensure this amount, plus an adequate reserve, is available on board…
- Chapter 2: En Route Operations › Fuel State Awareness
Fuel State Awareness In order to increase fuel state awareness, pilots are required to monitor the time and fuel remaining during an IFR flight. For example, on a flight scheduled for one hour or less, the flight crew may record ... time and fuel remaining at the top of climb (TOC) and at one additional waypoint listed in the flight plan. Generally, TOC is used in aircraft with an FMS, and represents the point at which cruise altitude is first reached…
- Appendix D: Risk Management Exercises › Four Scenarios › Scenario 4: Turbojet-Powered Airplane
Scenario 4: Turbojet-Powered Airplane The pilot, based in Springfield, IL (SPI), owns a consulting firm with a nationwide clientele. The pilot flies a small turbojet airplane and uses it to get to meetings with clients. The pilot recently completed ... personal minimum. A client in Turners Falls, MA has an urgent need for a meeting tomorrow, Thursday, to evaluate some engineering plans and data. The meeting would take place in an industrial park on the Turners Falls airport…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance Charts › Sample Problem 7
Sample Problem 6 Fuel Carrying Capacity..................38 gallons, no reserve Find 5,000 feet pressure altitude in the first column on the left side of the table. Next, find the correct rpm of 2,400 in the second column. Follow ... that line straight across and read the TAS of 116 mph and a fuel burn rate of 6.9 gallons per hour. As per the example, the aircraft is equipped with a fuel carrying capacity of 38 gallons. Under this column…
- Chapter 6: Assessment › Scenario-Based Training
FITS program emphasizes combining traditional task and maneuver training with Scenario Based Training (SBT) to teach the advanced pilot judgment and risk management skills required in the SRM environment. In many respects, scenario-based training is not a new concept ... Experienced flight instructors have been using scenarios to teach cross country operations, emergency procedures, and other flight skills for years. Scenario-based training puts the learner pilot into the normal cross-country environment much earlier than traditional flight training programs…
- Chapter 2: Engine Fuel & Fuel Metering Systems › Fuel Metering Devices for Reciprocating Engines › Air-Fuel Mixtures
Internal cylinder cooling is obtained from unused fuel when air-fuel ratios above 0.067 are used. The same function is performed by excess air when air-fuel ratios below 0.067 are used. Varying the mixture strength of the charge produces ... changes in the engine operating condition affecting power, temperature, and spark-timing requirements. The best power air-fuel ratio is desirable when the greatest power from a given airflow is required. The best economy mixture results from obtaining the given…
