Study Notes

ATPL Concepts

Altimeter Setting

In the Standard Pressure Region, set the altimeter to the current altimeter setting just prior to commencing descent to land.

Mach Calculation

To calculate time for 150NM, consider Mach 0.78, wind 270° 50 knots, and westbound heading; the answer is 22 minutes.

Hypoxia

At 20,000 feet, the time of useful consciousness is between 5-12 minutes.

Airspeed Indication

If airspeed drops to zero during climb, it may indicate a pitot blockage with an open drain.

Aircraft Performance

The maximum take-off weight is 8900 kg.

Payload Calculation

Maximum payload is calculated by subtracting the basic operating weight (2752 kg) from the maximum zero fuel weight.
