Private Pilot Practical Test Briefing


Performance

1. Indicate the 5 to 10 factors that can affect take off distance.

2. Compute the density altitude given the following factors.

  • Field Elevation = 5,000 feet
  • Altimeter = 30.12 in. Hg
  • Outside Air temperature = 35 degrees Celsius

Use the Pilot's operating handbook of the airplane you will use for the practical test to answer questions 3 through 9.

3. Given the following conditions, compute the take off distance.

  • a. Runway = Hard Surfaced
  • b. Flaps = Up
  • c. Aircraft Weight = Maximum take off
  • d. Headwind= 10 kts.
  • e. Field elevation = 4,000 ft.
  • f. Outside air temperature = 29 degrees Celsius

4. Given the following conditions, determine the landing distance.

  • a. Field elevation = 3,000 feet
  • b. Outside air temperature = 10 degrees Celsius
  • c. Headwind = 10 knots
  • d. Aircraft weight = minimum loading

5. Assume you depart an airport that is at sea level and climb to a cruising altitude of 8,500 feet. Calculate the time, fuel and distance you will need to complete the climb.

6. During a short field landing, what technique provides maximum breaking effectiveness?

7. When landing on a sod runway, should you expect a longer or shorter than normal landing roll? What should you expect on a runway covered with water, snow, or slush?

8. Define the angle-of-climb and best rate of climb airspeed. What are these airspeeds for your aircraft?

9. How do you convert indicated to calibrated airspeed? Is this conversion necessary during normal operations?
