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 A.Drain 9 gallons of fuel.
Answer A is correct.
Which items are included in the empty weight of an aircraft? A.Unusable fuel and undrainable oil.
Answer A is correct.
If 50 pounds of weight is located at point X and 100 pounds at point Z, how much weight must be located at point Y to balance the plank? A.300 pounds.
Answer A is correct. Compute and sum the moments left and right of the fulcrum. Set them equal to one another and solve for the desired variable:left=right50 lb.(50 in.) + Y(25 in.)=100 lb.(100 in.)2,500 + 25Y=10,00025Y=7,500Y=300 lb.
Determine if the airplane weight and balance is within limits.Front seat occupants = 340 lbRear seat occupants = 295 lbFuel (main wing tanks) = 44 galBaggage = 56 lb A.20 pounds overweight, CG aft of aft limits. B.20 pounds overweight, CG within limits.
Answer B is correct.
Determine the condition of the airplane:Pilot and copilot = 375 lbPassengers -- aft position = 245 lbBaggage = 65 lbFuel = 70 gal A.162 pounds under allowable gross weight; CG is located within limits. B.185 pounds under allowable gross weight; CG is located within limits.
Answer B is correct.
If an aircraft is loaded 90 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight and fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained? A.10 gallons. B.15 gallons.
Answer B is correct.
What effect does a 35-gallon fuel burn (main tanks) have on the weight and balance if the airplane weighed 2,890 pounds and the MOM/100 was 2,452 at takeoff? A.Weight is reduced to 2,680 pounds and the CG moves forward. B.Weight is reduced by 210 pounds and the CG is aft of limits.
Answer B is correct.
What is the maximum amount of baggage that can be carried when the airplane is loaded as follows?Front seat occupants = 387 lbRear seat occupants = 293 lbFuel = 35 gal A.63 pounds. B.45 pounds.
Answer B is correct.
With the airplane loaded as follows, what action can be taken to balance the airplane?Front seat occupants = 411 lb Rear seat occupants = 100 lbMain wing tanks = 44 gal A.Transfer 10 gallons of fuel from the main tanks to the auxiliary tanks. B.Add a 100-pound weight to the baggage compartment. C.Fill the auxiliary wing tanks.
Answer B is correct.
Determine the aircraft loaded moment and the aircraft category.WEIGHT (LB)MOM/1000Empty weight1,35051.5Pilot and front passenger380---Fuel, 48 gal288---Oil, 8 qt.------ A.80.4, utility category. B.78.2, normal category. C.79.2, normal category.
Answer C is correct.
Determine the moment with the following data:WEIGHT (LB)MOM/1000Empty weight1,35051.5Pilot and front passenger340---Fuel (std tanks)Capacity---Oil, 8 qt.------ A.69.9 pound-inches. B.77.6 pound-inches. C.75.4 pound-inches.
Answer C is correct.
How should the 500-pound weight be shifted to balance the plank on the fulcrum? A.1 inch to the right. B.4.5 inches to the right. C.1 inch to the left.
Answer C is correct.
What is the maximum amount of baggage that may be loaded aboard the airplane for the CG to remain within the moment envelope?WEIGHT (LB)MOM/1000Empty weight1,35051.5Pilot and front passenger250---Rear passengers400---Baggage------Fuel, 30 gal.------Oil, 8 qt.----0.2 A.110 pounds. B.120 pounds. C.105 pounds.
Answer C is correct.
An aircraft is loaded 110 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight. If fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained? A.15.7 gallons. B.16.2 gallons. C.18.4 gallons.
Answer C is correct. Fuel weighs 6 lb./gallon. If an airplane is 110 lb. over maximum gross weight, 18.4 gal. (110 lb. ÷ 6) must be drained to bring the airplane weight within limits.

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? A.The CG moves forward approximately 0.1 inch. B.The weight changes, but the CG is not affected. C.The CG moves forward approximately 3 inches.Answer
C is correct.
