AF IMT 4108 Fuel Log
When the fuel log is completed, it is not required to fill out the riverside of the?
AF IMT Form 4063 (mini TOLD card)
Sq Special Mission Aviator will maintain completed forms for how long?
6 months
fuel usage during WU/TAXI per/min
50 pounds per min
Fuel used during TAKEOFF
300 pounds
Who determines weight and balance limits of the aircraft?
Manufacturer
CG limits specify?
Forward and Aft center of Gravity
C-130 RDL placement is
30in forward of the nose
Centroid
the average arm or CG of a compartment, fuel tank, piece of equipment, cargo etc
Effects of improper loading
longer runway to produce lift, reduces fuel efficiency, more drag, stalls may occur at higher indicated airspeeds
What is Longitudinal Stability
Directly influenced by the center of gravity location
Aft center of gravity effects
become airborne easily
trim controls have less effect
premature stall hard landings and structural damage
Load shift
nose heave or tail heavy
center of gravity might exceed limits.
MAC
Mean Aerodynamic Chord
approximately 1/3 aft if the LEMAC and is called Center of lift
LEMAC
Distance from the RDL to the Leading Edge MAC
DD Form 365
