PERFORMANCE
Takeoff Distance Calculation

Calculate the take off distance based on the following information:

Altimeter setting: 30.48


OAT: 15°C
Aircraft Weight: 2100lbs (29.92-30.48)*1000+3940 = 3380
Headwind: 12kts Pressure Alt = 3380'
Airport Elevation: 3940’
Runway Surface: Grass

10º 15º 20º


3000' 830 860 890 For Dry Grass 12kt headwind
3380' 892 892*1.15 = 1026 12/9=1.3*10=13%
1026' Ground roll Decrease distance by 13%
4000' 910 945 980
1601-892 = 709 1026'*0.87 = 893'
3000' 1490 1542 1595 709' rotate to 50' 1735'*0.87 =1509'
3380' 1601
1026' + 709' = 1735'
4000' 1640 1697 1755 1735' to clear 50'
with 0 wind

Cross Wind Calculations

Calculate the cross wind and headwind components based on the following information:

Active Runway: 35 HW = 10G16


METAR Report: 30015G25KT CW = 11G19

Is this beyond the Maximum Demonstrated Crosswind velocity? Yes, when gusting
If absolutely necessary, yes, but it
Could a pilot still takeoff or land in these wind conditions? would be better to stay on the ground
AIRCRAFT SYSEMS

Please explain one of the following systems: (Electrical System/Fuel System/Flap/Gear)

Fuel System: Two fuel tanks, one in each wing vented through the caps and a vent line.
Gravity fed to a 4 position fuel selector, then through a fuel strainer followed by the carburetor.
There is also a manual fuel primer for starting.
100ll (blue) or 100 (green) can be used

take 2 hours flight time?
Can not fly

8) Name 2 places where you would look to see when the Magnetic Compass is due?
Journey Log or correction card on compass

9) You are planning an overnight trip in Nanaimo and you see on the status board
