Private Pilot Stage III Exam question with
answers
What combination of conditions is most detrimental to takeoff and climb
performance? - -High temperature, high humidity, and high altitude
-Q2 - -8900ft
-Q3 - -1732ft
-Q4 - -1470ft
-Q5 - -765fpm
-What is the difference between the range and the endurance of an aircraft? - -With
a given amount of fuel, range is the distance that the aircraft can fly, and
endurance is the amount of time that the aircraft can remain in the air.
-Center of gravity is defined as the theoretical point... - -where all of the aircraft's
weight is considered to be concentrated
-One of the items included in the airplanes basic empty weight is... - -unusable fuel
-What is the CG location after the airplane is loaded with full fuel? ****** - -42.66
inches (SUM Weight x Arm)/(SUM Weight)
-How much fuel can be carried in the aircraft without exceeding a maximum takeoff
weight of 2700 lbs? - -19.6 gallons (1 gallon = 6lbs)
-Total moment - -113876.4 pound-inches
-Assume an aircraft has a total weight of 2,950 pounds and a total moment of
210,700 pound-inches. If the CG range is from 82.1 to 86.7 inches, what action, if
any, should you take before you fly the aircraft? - -Move some load aft in the aircraft
-Q13 - -96.8 lb-inches
-Q14 - -Within normal category limits but outside utility category limits
-The time-speed-distance function of your flight computer can be used to solve for -
-groundspeed and fuel consumption
-If your aircraft's fuel consumption rate is 5.6 g.p.h., how much fuel will it use on a
flight of 230 n.m. with an average groundspeed of 93 knots? - -13.8 gallons (Use E6-
B)
-Determine the density altitude using the listed conditions - -4097ft
