(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 38.) Determine the approximate landing ground roll distance. Pressure altitude: 5,000 ft Headwind: Calm Temperature: 101°F

A
445 feet.
B
545 feet.✓ Correct Answer
C
495 feet.
Explanation
The 5,000-foot column of Figure 38 is based on 41 degrees F, which is the standard temperature at that altitude, and shows a 495-foot ground roll. Note 2 adds 10% for each 60 degrees F above standard. The given 101 degrees F is 60 degrees F above standard, so 495 x 1.10 = 544.5, about 545 feet. The calm wind means no headwind reduction. 445 feet is the sea-level value, and 495 feet leaves out the temperature correction.
