Private Pilot Stage 3 Exam
1. What combination of conditions is most detrimental to takeoff and
climb performance?: High temperature, high humidity, and high altitude
2. According to the accompanying chart, pressure altitude of 5,000 feet
with a temperature of +40C will result in a density altitude of approximately:
8,900 feet
3. According to the accompanying takeoff distance chart and the
following conditions, what is the total distance necessary to clear a 50-foot
obstacle?: 1,732 feet
4. Using the listed conditions and the accompanying landing distance
chart, determine the distance required to land over a 50-foot barrier: 1,470
feet
5. Use the accompanying maximum rate-of-climb chart and the listed
conditions to determine the rate of climb: 765 f.p.m.
6. 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.
7. Center of gravity is defined as the theoretical point: where all of the
aircraft's weight is considered to be concentrated
8. One of the items included in an aircraft's basic empty weight is: unusable
fuel
9. What is the CG location after the airplane is loaded with full fuel?: 42.66
inches
10. How much fuel can be carried in the aircraft without exceeding a
maximum takeoff weight of 2,700 pounds?: 19.6 gallons
11. Using the loading specifications from the previous problem, the total
moment is: 113,8976.4 pound-inches
12. 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
13. Based on the following conditions, what is the total moment/1000 pound-
inches?: 96.8
14. According to the center of gravity moment envelope, the aircraft's CG is:
within normal category limits but outside utility category limits
15. The time-speed-distance function of your flight computer can be used to
solve for: groundspeed and fuel consumption
1/4
