    1. The centre of gravity of an aircraft must be maintained in a fixed position by careful distribution of the load. 2. During take-off, if the airplane rotates more rapidly than expected for a given elevator input, it indicates the centre of gravity may be towards the aft limit. 3. Given the floor limit of an aircraft cargo hold is 5,000 N/m^2 and a 0.4 m cubic container is being loaded, its maximum gross mass must not exceed 320 kg.

    1.

    The centre of gravity of an aircraft


    A is in a fixed position and is unaffected by aircraft loading.
    B must be maintained in a fixed position by careful distribution of the load.
    C can be allowed to move between defined limits.
    D may only be moved if permitted by the regulating authority and endorsed in the aircraft's
    certificate of airworthiness.
    2. During take-off you notice that, for a given elevator input, the aeroplane rotates much more
    rapidly than expected. This is an indication that:
    A the aeroplane is overloaded.
    B the centre of gravity may be towards the aft limit.
    C the centre of pressure is aft of the centre of gravity.
    D the centre of gravity is too far forward.
    3. The floor limit of an aircraft cargo hold is 5 000 N/m2. It is planned to load-up a cubic container
    measuring 0,4 m of side. It's maximum gross mass must not exceed:
    (assume g=10m/s2)
    A 80 kg
    B 800 kg
    C 32 kg
    D 320 kg
    4. An aeroplane is weighed and the following recordings are made:
    nose wheel assembly scale 5330 kg
    left main wheel assembly scale 12370 kg
    right main wheel assembly scale 12480 kg
    If the 'operational items' amount to a mass of 1780 kg with a crew mass of 545 kg, the empty
    mass, as entered in the weight schedule, is
    A 32505 kg
    B 31960 kg
    C 28400 kg
    D 30180 kg
    5. The take-off mass of a helicopter is 8600 kg which includes a traffic load of 1890 kg and a
    usable fuel load of 1230 kg. If the standard mass for the crew is 190 kg the dry operating
    mass is
    A 5290 kg
    B 5480 kg
    C 8410 kg
    D 6710 kg
    6. The zero fuel mass of an aeroplane is always:
    A The maximum take-off mass minus the take-off fuel mass.
    B The take-off mass minus the fuselage fuel mass.
    C The take-off mass minus the wing fuel mass.
    D The take-off mass minus the take-off fuel mass.

    7. The Traffic Load is defined as:


    A The total mass of flight crew, passengers, baggage, cargo and usable fuel
    B The total mass of crew and passengers excluding any baggage or cargo
    C The total mass of passengers, baggage and cargo, including any non revenue load
    D The total mass of passengers, baggage, cargo and usable fuel
    8. In centre of gravity calculations the datum is
    A The fixed reference about which moments are taken to calculate the position of the
    centre of pressure
    B The fixed reference about which moments are taken to calculate the position of the
    centre of gravity
    C The horizontal reference used to calculate the helicopter's empty centre of gravity
    D The point through which the centre of gravity acts
