I am a private pilot doing the entry exam for Londonmet (ATPL distance learning) and there are a couple of questions I never saw during my ppl training:
1. An aircraft is on ILS approach. The aircraft´s DME distance from the landing runway threshold is 10 NM. Assuming a 3 degree glide path, what would be the ground distance to be covered?
2. Incorrect fuel densities will increase or decrease the performance of the aircraft engine. Allowing for the same fuel type and volume, what would be the effect of using a fuel of SG 0.75 as apposed to the published ideal fuel of sg 0.8??
And the last one...
3. The fore and aft distance between the two main wheels and the single tail wheel of an aircraft is 8m. The unloaded weight of the aircraft is 20Kn and its centre of gravity is 0.5 behind the main wheels. Calculate the force on the tail wheel and on each main wheel.
I will appreciate any help with any of these question, I am stuck on them...I already finished the other 97 ¡¡
