Study Notes
Altimeter Setting
- Set altimeter to current altimeter setting just prior to commencing descent to land in the Standard Pressure Region.
Mach Calculation
- At 0.78 Mach, with a wind of 270/50-45 (westbound heading), it takes approximately 22 minutes to cover a distance of 150NM.
Time of Useful Consciousness
- At an altitude of 20,000 feet, the time of useful consciousness is between 5-12 minutes.
Pitot Static System Malfunction
- If airspeed drops to zero during climb, it may indicate a pitot block with an open drain.
Aircraft Performance
- The maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 8900 pounds.
Payload Calculation
- Maximum payload can be calculated by subtracting the basic operating weight (2752 pounds) from the maximum zero fuel weight.
