25
Q

How do you determine moment?

A

Moment = Weight x Arm

26
Q

How often does an aircraft have to be re-weighted?

A

An aircraft must be re-weighted if the change is more than 2% of the empty weight.

27
Q

A

The airspeed indicator would be affected.

54
Q

What would be affected if the static port became blocked?

A

The airspeed indicator, altimeter, and VSI would be affected. To counter this you could pull the alternate static port or break the glass.
