Weight and Balance
- 1. Which items are included in the empty weight of an aircraft?
- 2. An aircraft is loaded 110 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight. If fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained?
- 3. If an aircraft is loaded 90 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight and fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained?
- 4. The CG is located how far aft of datum?
- 5. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) Determine if the airplane weight and balance is within limits. Front seat occupants: 340 lb. Rear seat occupants: 295 lb. Fuel (main wing tanks): 44 gal. Baggage: 56 lb
- 6. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) What is the maximum amount of baggage that can be carried when the airplane is loaded as follows? Front seat occupants: 387 lb. Rear seat occupants: 293 lb. Fuel: 35 gal
- 7. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) Calculate the weight and balance and determine if the CG and the weight of the airplane are within limits. Front seat occupants: 350 lb. Rear seat occupants: 325 lb. Baggage: 27 lb. Fuel: 35 gal
- 8. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) Determine if the airplane weight and balance is within limits. Front seat occupants: 415 lb. Rear seat occupants: 110 lb. Fuel, main tanks: 44 gal. Fuel, aux. tanks: 19 gal. Baggage: 32 lb
- 9. (Refer to Figure 34.) What is the maximum amount of baggage that may be loaded aboard the airplane for the CG to remain within the moment envelope? Empty weight: 1,350 lb, MOM/1000: 51.5. Pilot and front passenger: 250 lb. Rear passengers 400 lb. Oil, 8 qt MOM/1000: –0.2
- 10. (Refer to Figure 34.) Calculate the moment of the airplane and determine which category is applicable. Empty weight: 1,350 lb, MOM/1000 51.5. Pilot and front passenger 310 lb. Rear passengers: 96 lb. Oil, 8 qt MOM/1000: –0.2
- 11. (Refer to Figure 34.) What is the maximum amount of fuel that may be aboard the airplane on takeoff if loaded as follows? Empty weight: 1,350 lb, MOM/1000: 51.5. Pilot and front passenger: 340 lb. Rear passengers: 310 lb. Baggage: 45 lb.
- 12. (Refer to Figure 34.) Determine the moment with the following data: Empty weight: 1,350 lb, MOM/1000: 51.5. Pilot and front passenger: 340 lb. Fuel (std tanks): Capacity lb.
- 13. (Refer to Figure 34.) Determine the aircraft loaded moment and the aircraft category. Empty weight: 1,350 lb, MOM/1000: 51.5. Pilot and front passenger: 380 lb. Fuel, 48 gal: 288 lb.
- 14. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) Upon landing, the front passenger (180 pounds) departs the airplane. A rear passenger (204 pounds) moves to the front passenger position. What effect does this have on the CG if the airplane weighed 2,690 pounds and the MOM/100 was 2,260 just prior to the passenger transfer?
- 15. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) Which action can adjust the airplane's weight to maximum gross weight and the CG within limits for takeoff? Front seat occupants: 425 lb. Rear seat occupants: 300 lb. Fuel, main tanks: 44 gal
- 16. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) What effect does a 35-gallon fuel burn (main tanks) have on the weight and balance if the airplane weighed 2,890 pounds and the MOM/100 was 2,452 at takeoff?
- 17. (Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) With the airplane loaded as follows, what action can be taken to balance the airplane? Front seat occupants: 411 lb. Rear seat occupants: 100 lb. Main wing tanks: 44 gal
- 18. (Refer to Figure 61.) If 50 pounds of weight is located at point X and 100 pounds at point Z, how much weight must be located at point Y to balance the plank?
- 19. (Refer to Figure 60.) How should the 500-pound weight be shifted to balance the plank on the fulcrum?
- 20. Center of gravity can be found by
- 21. In weight and balance calculations, arm is
