FAA Private Pilot Test Prep

Category - FAA Private Pilot

Refer to Figure 39 on page 41.
Determine the total distance required to land over a 50-foot obstacle.
Pressure altitude 5,000 ft
Headwind 8 kts
Temperature 41 °F
Runway Hard surface
  1. 956 feet
  2. 1195 feet
  3. 1075 feet
  4. 450 feet
Explanation
Correct answer: A. 956 feet. First look at the numbers. We are landing over a 50 foot obstacle so we will be using the larger numbers on the chart. The runway is a hard surface so we need not add on to the roll and the temperature is standard at 41 degree. However, the headwind component is 8 knot. The chart says to reduce the distance by 10% for each 4 knots of headwind. We have 8 knots so we reduce it by 20%.
