74.9 pound-inches.
Determine the aircraft loaded moment and the aircraft category. WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight 1,350 51.5 Pilot and front passenger 380 -- Fuel, 48 gal 288 -- Oil, 8 qt -- --
79.2, normal category
Calculate the moment of the airplane and determine which category is applicable. WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight 1,350 51.5 Pilot and front passenger 310 -- Rear passengers 96 -- Fuel, 38 gal -- -- Oil, 8 qt -- -0.2
80.8, utility category
With the airplane loaded as follows, what action can be taken to balance the airplane? Front seat occupants 411 lb Rear seat occupants 100 lb Main wing tanks 44 gal
Add a 100-pound weight to the baggage compartment.
Calculate the weight and balance and determine if the CG and the weight of the airplane are within limits. Front seat occupants 350 lb Rear seat occupants 325 lb Baggage 27 lb Fuel 35 gal
CG 83.4, within limits.
GIVEN: WEIGHT ARM MOMENT (LB) (IN) (LB-IN) Empty weight 1,495.0 101.4 151,593.0 Pilot and passengers 380.0 64.0 -- Fuel (30 gal usable-no reserve) -- 96.0 -- The CG is located how far aft of datum?
CG 94.01
Which action can adjust the airplane's weight to maximum gross weight and the CG within limits for takeoff? Front seat occupants 425 lb Rear seat occupants 300 lb Fuel, main tanks 44 gal
Drain 9 gallons of fuel.
Upon landing, the front passenger (180 pounds) departs the airplane. A rear passenger (204 pounds) moves to the front passenger position. What effect does this have on the CG if the airplane weighed 2,690 pounds and the MOM/100 was 2,260 just prior to the passenger transfer?
The CG moves forward approximately 3 inches
What determines the longitudinal stability of an airplane?
The location of the CG with respect to the center of lift
Which items are included in the empty weight of an aircraft?
Unusable fuel and undrainable oil.
Determine if the airplane weight and balance is within limits. Front seat occupants 415 lb Rear seat occupants 110 lb Fuel, main tanks 44 gal Fuel, aux. tanks 19 gal Baggage 32 lb
Weight within limits, CG out of limits
An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be
difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition.
Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be
less stable at all speeds
The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will
remain the same regardless of gross weight.
The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the
speed of the airplane
