PPL Flight Performance and Planning Exam Test

Question 1

What happens to density altitude when temperature increases while pressure altitude remains constant?

Density altitude decreases Density altitude increases Density altitude remains unchanged Pressure altitude becomes zero

Question 2

Which condition normally increases takeoff distance?

Lower aircraft weight Strong headwind Higher density altitude Lower temperature

Question 3

If an aircraft exceeds its maximum allowable weight, what is the correct action?

Operate normally Reduce the aircraft weight Increase takeoff speed without reference to approved data Ignore the aircraft weight

Question 4

An aircraft consumes 10 gallons per hour and the planned flight time is 2 hours. What is the estimated trip fuel?

5 gallons 10 gallons 20 gallons 30 gallons

Question 5

Which document should normally be used for actual aircraft performance calculations?

General internet calculator Aircraft POH or AFM Social media post Personal guess

0 / 5

PPL Flight Performance and Planning Topics

Density Altitude

Study the effects of pressure altitude, temperature and air density on aircraft performance.

Weight and Balance

Understand maximum weight, useful load, center of gravity and loading limitations.

Takeoff Performance

Study the effects of wind, runway surface, aircraft weight, altitude and temperature.

Fuel Planning

Learn how to calculate trip fuel, reserve fuel and total fuel requirements.

Performance Charts

Learn how to use aircraft performance charts and tables provided in approved aircraft documentation.

Safe Planning

PPL planning should use accurate aircraft data and appropriate operational safety margins.
