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.
