Hello, I'm studying towards sitting my PPL exams and I struggle with the following one:

Which of the following combinations provides the best range scenario? TAS / FF / TWC

Am I right to think that best range is achieved with the highest TWC and TAS and the lowest FF?

Thank you for your help.

TAS = distance per time

Fuel flow = fuel burned per time


Divide TAS by Fuel flow then, the "per times" cancel out and you get distance per fuel burned. That's what you obviously want to work out range.
