For the Aspen repositioning scenario, what is the stated burn time?

• A. 30 min burn plus 45 min
• B. 60 min burn
• C. 15 min burn
• D. 90 min burn

Answer: (A)

In these repositioning questions, burn time refers to how long the engines are actually burning fuel for during the repositioning legs, and the scenario often breaks that into separate segments. For the Aspen repositioning, the instructions specify two distinct burn periods: first a 30-minute burn, then a 45-minute burn. This reflects two different flight segments or phases in the repositioning, each requiring its own engine-on time and reserves.

So the stated burn time is the combination of those two segments: 30 minutes of burn plus 45 minutes of burn. That matches the scenario’s two-part plan. The other options imply a single continuous burn duration, which doesn’t align with the scenario’s two-phase specification.
