The ground speed is 113 knots, the average fuel consumption is 10 Gal./hour 3. Fuel on board is 14 Gal. 4. There are meteorological reports that the weather at the destination aerodrome is below the minima. 5. The alternate aerodrome is 124 NM from the current position and the ground speed is 108 knots.

Refer to figure ppl-030-024. What is the ETA at the limit of the safe endurance at 13:30? [final reserve fuel is 7.5 Gal.]

4 / 9

An aircraft is flying on an easterly magnetic track The length of the leg is 48 NM The aircraft was overhead the starting point of the leg at 08:00. At 8:20 the aircraft is believed to be 25 NM from the next reporting point, but due to the tailwind the aircraft is 3 NM ahead. What is the difference between the two estimated times overhead?

5 / 9

Refer to figure ppl-030-024. If the remaining fuel is 54.5 Gal, what is the safe endurance at 13:00?

6 / 9

What is the difference in fuel consumption between a flight to the destination, compared to a flight to the alternate? In flight the remaining distance to the destination aerodrome is 50 NM The ground speed is 110 knots The average fuel consumption is 10.2 Gal/hour Fuel on board is 43 Gal. There are meteorological reports that the weather at the destination aerodrome is below the minima. The alternate aerodrome is 60 NM from the current position and the ground speed is 108 knots.
