Name:_____________________SCAN Homework #2 (40 Minutes)
1. Given the following information, Determine your distance to reach top of climb: Airport elevation: 270' MSL Cruise Alt: 9500' MSL Climb: 90 KTAS/900fpm Wind for the climb: 230@08 TC: 145° 2. After flying for 20 minutes at an IAS of 120kts, you look at your chart and see that you have wandered off course by approximately 5nm. If the total distance of the leg you are flying is 85sm, how many degrees of heading change will be required to make it to your intended destination? 3. While flying at 8,500 ft indicated altitude and 186 KIAS, what is your TAS if the altimeter setting is 30.23" and the OAT is -13° C? Using that information and assuming no wind, how far will you travel in 45 minutes? 4. Your route of flight will take you from point A to B, then a course change to point C with no altitude change. From the following information, determine the total time from point A to C, along with the MH for each leg of the flight. Cruise Altitude: 4,500 ft TC (A to B): 188° TC (B to C): 215° Dist (A to B): 45 nm Dist (B to C):74 nm Var: 7°E Winds aloft: 3000ft: 1108 6000ft: 1515 TAS: 110kts 5. After flying for 45 minutes on a MH of 348° you notice that you are 4nm left of course. Given the following information, determine the heading correction required to arrive at your intended destination, along with the current winds aloft. GS: 117kts TAS: 140mph Intended TC: 357° Variation: 8W Total intended leg distance: 278km 6. After working all summer on your instrument you decide to have some fun. Accordingly you plan a VFR cross country flight from MER to MRY for a nice relaxing game of golf by the beach. Given the following information regarding that flight, determine the total time enroute, and the MH for each leg of the flight? Route of flight: MER-LSN-1C9-MRY MER-LSN: 187°/24nm LSN-1C9: 225°/54km 1C9-MRY: 191°/15sm Climb: 85KTAS/950fpm Cruise: 150mphTAS/6,500' MSL Descent: 135KTAS/-1500fpm Wind: 6000 - 2313+10 9000 - 2520+4 Variation: 15°E MER elev.: 189' MSL MRY elev.: 254' MSL Altimeter: 30.03" On cruise during leg 1 you notice that you have to fly a heading of 180° to hold your ground track and your GPS shows a ground speed of 120kts. What is the wind speed and direction? After flying for 4 minutes on leg 2 (LSN-1C9) you notice that you have drifted 1.5sm off course. What is the course correction required to get to 1C9? You decide that you wish to arrive at pattern altitude (1000'AFE) 1sm prior to airport (MRY). Where do you need to start your descent?
