What equipment must be installed in an aircraft when it is weighed to find its empty weight center of gravity?
incorrect
4.
What is meant by minimum fuel as is used in the computation of aircraft weight and balance?
incorrect
5.
What must be done to find the empty weight of an aircraft if it has been weighed with fuel in its tanks?
incorrect
6.
Why must we consider the category under which an aircraft is licensed when we compute its weight and balance?
incorrect
7.
What must be done to the tare weight when an aircraft is weighed?
incorrect
8.
Where must a record be kept of the current empty weight and the current center of gravity of an aircraft?
incorrect
9.
What is meant by the datum that is used for weight and balance computations?
incorrect
10.
What is meant by undrainable fuel?
incorrect
11.
. What is the significance of the empty weight center of gravity range of an aircraft?
incorrect
12.
What is meant by permanent ballast for an aircraft?
incorrect
13.
Why are the distances of all of the items installed in an aircraft measured from the datum when computing weight and balance?
incorrect
14.
Describe the way you would find the empty weight and empty weight center of gravity of an airplane if there are no weight and balance records available.
incorrect
15.
How do you find the moment of an item that is installed in an aircraft?
incorrect
16.
What is meant by the maximum zero fuel weight of an aircraft?
incorrect
17.
What is meant by the arm of an item that is installed in an aircraft?
incorrect
18.
What are two reasons weight and balance control are important in an aircraft?
incorrect
19.
Why is empty weight center of gravity range not given in the Type Certificate Data Sheets for some aircraft?
incorrect
20.
What is meant by the tare weight that is used in a weight and balance computation?
A.
The maximum permissible weight of a loaded aircraft (passengers, crew, cargo, etc.), less its fuel.
B.
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.
C.
The distance, in inches, between the center of gravity of the item and the datum.
D.
A force that tends to cause rotation. It is the product of the weight of an object in pounds and the distance of the object from the datum in inches.
E.
The different categories under which an aircraft can be licensed have different maximum gross weights and different center of gravity ranges.
F.
In the Type Certificate Data Sheets for the aircraft.
G.
In the aircraft flight manual or weight and balance records required by 14 CFR §23.1583.
H.
The weight of the chocks and other items that are used to hold the aircraft on the scales.
I.
The fuel that is left in the tank, lines and components when the aircraft is placed in level flight position and the fuel drained at the main fuel strainer. This is also called residual fuel.
J.
All of the equipment that is listed in the Aircraft Equipment List as "required equipment" or as equipment that is permanently installed.
K.
Weight that is permanently installed in an aircraft to bring the empty weight center of gravity into allowable limits.
L.
This makes it possible to find the point about which the aircraft would balance (the center of gravity).
M.
It must be subtracted from the scale reading to find the weight of the aircraft.
N.
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.
O.
If the empty weight center of gravity falls within the EWCG range, the aircraft cannot be legally loaded in such a way that its loaded center of gravity will fall outside of the allowable loaded CG range. Not all aircraft have an EWCG range.
P.
A readily identified reference chosen by the aircraft manufacturer from which all longitudinal locations on the aircraft are referenced.
Q.
The empty weight center of gravity range is given only for aircraft that cannot be legally loaded in such a way that their loaded center of gravity will fall outside of the allowable limits.
R.
For safety of flight and for most efficient performance of the aircraft.
S.
Multiply the weight of the item in pounds by its distance from the datum in inches.
T.
The weight of the fuel and its moment must be subtracted from the weight and moment of the aircraft as it was weighed.
Type the Answer that corresponds to the displayed Question.
incorrect
21.
Which has the more critical center of gravity range, an airplane or a helicopter?
