ATPL FLIGHT PLANNING EXAM correctly answered rated A+ 2023/2024

ATPL FLIGHT PLANNING EXAMWhat does DCT & -DCT mean? - correct answers DCT means direct track between waypoints -DCT means that mileage has been increased for that segment to allow for circuitous routing On the CFP, why may there sometimes be a change in the route profile by 1000ft instead of the RVSM standard 2000ft? - correct answers Because there is a change of track from an easterly to a westerly and vice versa. Why may lower than normal cruise altitudes be planned? - correct answers 1. To avoid crossing organized track system routes 2. To avoid moderate to severe turbulence Decode BELOW COLD TEMP LIMIT OF -68 RT66 FL410 TD-12 - correct answers -68is the SAT at which the TAT is equal to -37 at Mach 0.83 RT66 is the company route identifier FL410 is the flight level at which that temperature is occuring TD-12 means the temperature deviation is ISA minus 12 at that flight level. What happens if the fuel temperature is predicted to reach the limit? - correct answers The flight will be planned to carry a 'cold fuel allowance' of extra fuel. This will be shown as TANKER FUEL and is an amount calculated to allow an increase of 0.02 Mach for 2 hours. When will the aircraft not be planned to climb? - correct answers When there is less than 400nm of the flight remaining. What is safety height? - correct answers The safety height is based on the Jeppesen Grid Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA) and provides 1,000ft clearance above terrain up to 5,000ft AMSL and 2,000ft clearance above terrain of 5,001ft AMSL or greater. An area 50nm either side of the track and a 50 nm semi-circular area aro
