1. Center of gravity can be found byNot learned 2. In weight and balance calculations, arm isNot learned 3. Which items are included in the empty weight of an aircraft?Not learned 4. 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?Not learned 5. 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?Not learned 6. The CG is located how far aft of datum?Not learned 7. (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 lbNot learned 8. (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 galNot learned 9. (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 galNot learned 10. (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 lbNot learned 11. (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? WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight: 1,350 lb. 51.5. Pilot and front passenger: 250 lb. -- Rear passengers 400 lb. -- Oil, 8 qt –0.2Not learned 12. (Refer to Figure 34.) Calculate the moment of the airplane and determine which category is applicable. WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight: 1,350 lb. 51.5. Pilot and front passenger 310 lb. -- Rear passengers: 96 lb. -- Oil, 8 qt. –0.2Not learned 13. (Refer to Figure 34.) What is the maximum amount of fuel that may be aboard the airplane on takeoff if loaded as follows? WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight: 1,350 lb 51.5. Pilot and front passenger: 340 lb. -- Rear passengers: 310 lb. -- Baggage: 45 lb.Not learned 14. (Refer to Figure 34.) Determine the moment with the following data: WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight 1,350 51.5 Pilot and front passenger 340 -- Fuel (std tanks) Capacity -- Oil, 8 qt -- --Not learned 15. (Refer to Figure 34.) Determine the aircraft loaded moment and the aircraft category. WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight 1,350 51.5 Pilot and front passenger 380 -- Fuel, 48 gal 288 -- Oil, 8 qt -- --Not learned 16. (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?Not learned 17. (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 galNot learned 18. (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?Not learned 19. (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 galNot learned 20. (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?Not learned 21. (Refer to Figure 60.) How should the 500-pound weight be shifted to balance the plank on the fulcrum?Not learned
