A SkyStudy question, in full

A question count tells you nothing about whether the questions are any good. This one is taken straight from the Flight Planning and Monitoring (033) set, answer and reasoning included.

Flight Planning and Monitoring (033)

An aircraft departs with 15 000 kg of fuel, fuel flow is 2 500 kg/hr, and mandatory reserves total 3 000 kg. GS_on = 430 kt, GS_home = 490 kt. The PSR is at approximately what distance from departure?

  • 2 300 NM
  • 2 064 NM
  • 2 580 NM
  • 1 100 NMcorrect

Why D is right

Three steps, in order. Safe endurance is usable fuel over fuel flow, so 15 000 minus the 3 000 kg of reserves gives 12 000 kg, which at 2 500 kg per hour is 4.8 hours. Time to the point of safe return is endurance times the homebound groundspeed over the sum of both groundspeeds: 4.8 times 490 over 920 is 2.56 hours. Distance is that time at the outbound groundspeed: 2.56 times 430 is about 1 100 NM.

The trap

Every wrong option here is what you get by forgetting to subtract the reserves, using the wrong groundspeed in the fraction, or both. Reserves are not endurance. Fuel you are not allowed to burn cannot carry you away from the airfield, and the single most expensive habit in this topic is starting the calculation from the fuel on board.

Go deeper: Point of safe return, and why reserves come out first

Why students pick SkyStudy

  • A larger advertised question set: 31,032 questions across every ATPL subject, versus the over-15,000 evoATPL lists on its site (July 2026).
  • The question bank is free to use during the beta with no card required, so you can try the full bank before committing to anything.
  • Independently authored revision questions, not exam dumps and not the official ECQB.
  • Installable as an offline PWA, plus spaced repetition, a free live demo and free aviation tools in one place.

When evoATPL is the better buy

Pick evoATPL if you want to pay once and be done, or if your training organisation already licenses it. Their listing offers a single one-off fee as well as a monthly subscription, and they sell to schools as well as to individuals, so if your ATO hands you an account it costs you nothing extra and it is the bank your instructors will be answering questions about. They also cover UK CAA, which SkyStudy does not. SkyStudy's bank is free during the beta and priced tiers are planned for after it, so if a fixed one-off price is what you are looking for today, they have one and SkyStudy does not.

What you also get with SkyStudy

Features included with SkyStudy today, beyond the question bank.
  • Spaced repetition built in. An SM-2 spaced repetition queue brings questions back at the right interval, so revision targets what you are about to forget rather than what you already know.
  • Free aviation tools for everyone. Free METAR, TAF, NOTAM and SNOWTAM decoders, plus flight calculators for wind component, density and pressure altitude, ISA deviation, Mach number, true airspeed and unit conversion. No account needed.
  • Free pilot aptitude practice. A set of free pilot aptitude practice tests for airline selection, open to anyone without signing up.
  • Installable, works offline. Install SkyStudy as an app (PWA) and keep practising offline. Your progress syncs back when you reconnect.
  • Community and progress tracking. Community explanations, votes and seen-on-exam reports from other students, plus streaks and progress tracking to keep daily revision consistent.
  • Try it before you register. A free live demo lets you work through real questions before you create an account.

evoATPL alternative: common questions

Is SkyStudy a good alternative to evoATPL?

SkyStudy is an independent EASA ATPL question bank with 31,032 questions across every subject, spaced repetition and timed practice; the bank is free to use during the beta. evoATPL is a browser-based bank of over 15,000 exam-style questions with SME-written explanations, sold by subscription or a one-off fee.

Compare current details on both sites before deciding.
