Q

Who does section 20.7.4 apply to?

A

It applies to airplanes having maximum take-off weight which does not exclude 5700kgs when engaged in regular public/private operations and aerial work operations ( excluding agricultural operations). Unless CASA specifies that sections 20.7.1 or 20.7.2 apply.

Q

What is Reverted or melted-rubber hydroplaning?

A

Where locked wheels (on large aeroplanes) on a wet runway generate sufficient heat to boil the water and melt the rubber on the tyres and a mixture of steam and melted rubber separates the tyres from the runway surface.

Q

What does a “utility category” of aircraft in loading mean?

A

Certified for limited aerobatic manoeuvres (e.g., Spin if certified)

Typical load factor: +4.5g ~ -1.8g

17
Q

What is the equation for moving weight?

A

Total weight (W) x CG change(d) = Moving weight( w) x distance moved (D)

18
Q 
Work out this: 
 The mass (also commonly known as take-off weight) of the aeroplane is 5,700 kg and the CG is computed to be 320cm aft of the datum.  The aft CG limit is 280cm.  Calculate the amount of freight that has to be moved from the rear freight compartment (385cm aft of the datum) to the forward baggage area (50cm aft of the datum) to move the CG to the aft limit.
A

Total weight= 5,700 kg

CG change = CG computed - CG limit
= 320- 280 = 40

Distance moved = original placing - moved distance
= 385-50 = 335cm

Weight moved = total weight (W) x CG change(d) % distance moved (D)
Weight moved = (5700x 40) % 335 = 680.60kgs

19
Q 
Work this out:  
The mass (also commonly known as take-off weight) of the aeroplane is 6,700 kg and the CG is computed to be 450cm aft of the datum.  The aft CG limit is 150cm.  Calculate the amount of freight that has to be moved from the rear freight compartment (495cm aft of the datum) to the forward baggage area (95cm aft of the datum) to move the CG to the aft limit.
A

total weight= 6,700 kg

CG change = CG computed - CG limit = 450- 150 = 300

Distance moved = original placing - moved distance
= 495-95 = 400cm

Weight moved = total weight (W) x CG change(d) % distance moved (D)

Weight moved = (6700x 300) % 400 = 5025kgs

20
Q 
Work this out: 
 The mass (also commonly known as take-off weight) of the aeroplane is 2,000 kgs and the CG is computed to be 300cm aft of the datum.  The aft CG limit is 275cm.  Calculate the amount of freight that has to be moved from the rear freight compartment (390cm aft of the datum) to the forward baggage area (135cm aft of the datum) to move the CG to the aft limit
A

Total weight= 2000 kg

CG change = CG computed - CG limit
= 300- 275 = 25

Distance moved = original placing - moved distance
= 390-135=255cm

Weight moved = total weight (W) x CG change(d) % distance moved (D)
Weight moved = (2000x 25) % 255 = 196.08kgs

21
Q

What are the types of icing?

A

Hoar frost, rime ice, mixed ice and clear ice

22
Q

What are air masses?

A

“A large body of air which has acquired more or less homogeneous properties of temperature (and temperature lapse rate), humidity and stability”

23
Q

What are the air source regions?

A

Tropical continental, Equatorial Maritime, Tropical Maritime and Polar Maritime

24
Q

What are the types of turbulence?

A

Thermal (or Convective)
, Mountain waves (lee or standing),
Mechanical turbulence, Frontal turbulence,
Inversion turbulence,
Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
Synoptic (Mesoscale) turbulence, and low- level wind sheer
