Center of Gravity Calculated as:
Total Moment divided by Total Weight
- Total Weight Divided by Total Moment
- Total Moment Divided by Total Height
Empty Weight of the aircraft includes:
All the Above
- Residual Fuel and Oil
- Weight of the airframe, powerplant and optional or special equipment
- Hydraulic fluid
Electronically operated scale called:
Load Cell
- Spring Type
- Beam Scale
Find the moment, if a 5 lb radio located 80” from the datum?
400 in-lb
- 400 lb
- 200 in-lb
Find the New Center of Gravity?
Airplane Empty Weight - 2,350 lb, Airplane Empty Weight CG - +24.7”, Airplane Datum - Leading edge of the wing, Radio Installed - 5.8 lb at an arm of (-28)”, Global Positioning System Installed - 7.3 lb at an arm of (-26)”, Emergency Locater Transmitter Installed - 2.8 lb at an arm of (+105)”, Strobe Light Removed - 1.4 lb at an arm of (+75)”, Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) removed - 3 lb at an arm of (-28)”, Seat removed - 34 lb at an arm of (+60)”.
24.03”
How to determine Useful load?
Subtract the empty weight from the maximum allowable gross weight
- Add the empty weight from the maximum allowable gross weight
- Multiply the empty weight from the maximum allowable gross weight
How weight and balance extreme condition check done?
By pencil and paper only
- None of the above.
- Weighing aircraft on scale
Maximum Zero Fuel Weight means:
The heaviest weight an aircraft can be loaded to without having any usable fuel in the fuel tank.
- The heaviest weight of the aircraft without oil and fuel
- The heaviest weight an aircraft can be loaded with full fuel in the fuel tank
Payload Includes:
Useful weight minus Fuel
- Without the weight of Passengers.
- Useful weight minus Fuel
