Q

What is the Class 1 aircraft? What is a class 2 aircraft? (This question is in reference to weight and balance)

A

Class 1 = Aircraft whose weight or CG can sometimes be exceeded by loading arrangements normally used in tactical operations. Therefore, limited control is needed. Class 2 = Aircraft whose weight or CG limits can readily be exceeded by loading arrangements normally used in tactical operations or those aircraft designed primarily www.gomotherrucker.com - for personal use only AR 95-1 - 10 for transporting troops and other passengers. Therefore a high degree of loading control is needed. Also, all aircraft who weight and balance is not stated in the operator’s manual will be considered Class 2.
