Answer 5

the CG moves forward approximately 3 inches

Question 6

(refer to figure) What effect does a 35-gallon fuel burn (main tanks) have on the weight and balance if the airplane weighed 2,890 lb and the MOM/100 was 2,452 at takeoff

Answer 6

weight is reduced by 210 pounds and the CG is aft of limits

Question 7

(refer to figure) 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

Answer 7

weight within limits, CG out of limits

(refer to figure) 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

Answer 8

drain 9 gallons of fuel

Question 9
