Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 50mins
Mass for individual passengers may be determined from a verbal statement by or on behalf of the passengers if the number of:
passenger carried is less than 10
passenger carried is less than 20
passenger seats available is less than 10
passenger seats available is less than 20
An aircraft with a seating capacity of more than 30 has decided to use standard mass values for computing the total mass of passengers. If the flight is not a holiday charter, the mass value which may be used for an adult is:
84 kg (male) 76 kg (female)
84 kg
88 kg (male), 70 (female)
76 kg
Standard masses may be used for the computation of mass values for baggage if the aircraft:
has 6 or more seats
has 30 or more seats
has 20 or more seats
is carrying 30 or more passengers
Which of the following indicates the correct standard mass for a child?
35 kg only if they are over 2 years old and occupy a seat
35 kg irrespective of age provided they occupy a seat
35 kg for children over 2 years occupying a seat and 10 kg for infants (less than 2 years) not occupying a seat
35 kg for children over 2 years occupying a seat and 10 kg for infants (less than 2 years) occupying a seat
On an aircraft with 20 or more seats engaged on a domestic flight, the standard mass which may be used for passenger baggage is:
13 kg per passenger
14 kg per passenger
15 kg per passenger
11 kg per passenger
The operator of an aircraft equipped with 50 seats uses standard masses for passengers and baggage. If there is a group of passengers that exceeds the declared standard mass, the operator:
is obliged to use the actual masses of each passenger
may use the standard masses for the balance but must correct these for the load calculation
may use the standard masses for the load and balance calculation without correction
should determine the actual mass of such passengers by weighing or by adding an adequate mass increment
An aircraft has 8 passenger seats. If no hand luggage is carried, how much weight may be deducted from the standard passenger weights for passenger over 12 years old?
12 kg
10 kg
6 kg
0 kg
When determining the DOM of a 19 seat aircraft used on a holiday charter, select the correct mass allowance for a flight crew member
92 kg
75 kg
85 kg
84 kg
According to EU OPS Subpart J, a person of 13 years of age is defined as:
a young teenager
an adult
a child
an adult if male only
Standard passenger masses used for a holiday charter flight are:
Male 83 kg, female 69 kg, or an average mass of adult person 76 kg
Average mass of adult person 84 kg
Male 80 kg, female 70 kg and children 35 kg
Child up to the age of 12 years 30 kg
An aeroplane takes off as normal on a scheduled flight however, shortly after take-off the aeroplane is diverted to another airfield.
MSTOM = 14000 kg
PLTOM = 12690 kg
MSLM = 9600 kg
Trip Fuel to original destination = 6000 kg
Contingency fuel = 200 kg
Alternate fuel = 200 kg
Final reserve fuel = 750 kg
Expected LM at original destination = 4600 kg
Actual flight duration = 2 hour
Fuel consumption = 1500 kg/hr
PLLM at diversion airfield = 9000 kg
Can the aircraft land safely?
The aircraft can land safely as it is below its MSLM
The aircraft can land safely because it is below its PLLM
The aircraft cannot land safely because it is above the MSLM
The aircraft cannot land safely because it is above the PLLM
