FAA Private Pilot Test Prep

Category - FAA Private Pilot

Refer to Figure 36 on page 38.
Determine the approximate manifold pressure setting with 2,450 RPM to achieve 65 percent maximum continuous power at 6,500 feet with a temperature of 36 °F higher than standard.
  1. 20.9 Inches
  2. 21.0 Inches
  3. 20.4 Inches
  4. 11.5 GPH
Explanation
Correct answer: B. 21.0 Inches. First look at the top of the table and find the chart for 36 degrees above standard, which is the far right chart. Look at the altitude of 6000 feet, which is closest to 6500 feet, as the first point of reference. Follow across to the number which, at 6000 feet, is 21 inches. If the plane was at 7000 feet, then the number would have been 20.9 inches as it is halfway between the 6000 and the 8000 level numbers.
