Hi all,
Came across a PPL theory question which I can't get my head around and would appreciate some help:
Cessna 182: empty mass including oil and unusable fuel = 651 kp; Pilot and Co-Pilot = 152 kp; 2 passenger = 145 kp; luggage = 25 kp; Tank capacity = 42 US gal; MTOW = 2300 lb. How many gallons can be fuelled?
From what I understand a kp is a kilopond :confused: 1 kp = 1 kg?
The correct answer is 26 US gal but I cannot figure out why..
Thanks in advanced :ok:
