|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where must a record be kept of the current empty weight and the current center of gravity of an aircraft? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What is meant by the datum that is used for weight and balance computations? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Why are the distances of all of the items installed in an aircraft measured from the datum when computing weight and balance? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | For safety of flight and for most efficient performance of the aircraft.
🗑
|
||||
| What is meant by moment in the computation of weight and balance? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Multiply the weight of the item in pounds by its distance from the datum in inches.
🗑
|
||||
| What is meant by the arm of an item that is installed in an aircraft? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The different categories under which an aircraft can be licensed have different maximum gross weights and different center of gravity ranges.
🗑
|
||||
| Where can you find the leveling means that are specified for a particular aircraft? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Where is the arm of an item installed in an aircraft recorded? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What must be done to find the empty weight of an aircraft if it has been weighed with fuel in its tanks? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What is meant by the tare weight that is used in a weight and balance computation? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What must be done to the tare weight when an aircraft is weighed? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | No more fuel than the quantity necessary for one-half hour of operation at rated maximum continuous power. It is the maximum amount of fuel used in weight and balance computations when low fuel may adversely affect the most critical balance conditions.
🗑
|
||||
| What is meant by the maximum zero fuel weight of an aircraft? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What is meant by undrainable fuel? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The aircraft is weighed, and the empty weight center of gravity is computed. These values are recorded in new weight and balance records that are started for the aircraft.
🗑
|
||||
| What is meant by permanent ballast for an aircraft? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A helicopter.
🗑
|
||||
| What equipment must be installed in an aircraft when it is weighed to find its empty weight center of gravity? | show 🗑
|
||||
| . What is the significance of the empty weight center of gravity range of an aircraft? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Why is empty weight center of gravity range not given in the Type Certificate Data Sheets for some aircraft? | show 🗑
