Question 9

class 2 aircraft definition

Answer 9

aircraft whose weight or center of gravity limits can be readily exceeded by loading arrangements normally used in tactical operations or those aircraft designed primarily for transporting troops and other passengers

Question 10

Answer 10

12 months at Rucker; 90 days in all other units

Question 11

When does the aircraft need to be reweighed?

Answer 11

1. overhaul or major airframe repairs
2. modifications of one or more percent of greater of the aircrafts basic weight
3. modifications or component replacements (including painting) have been made where accurate CG cannot be computed
4. weight and center of gravity record are suspected to be in error
5. has been longer than 24 months since last weighing

Question 12
