110.2 Weight & Balance 2

When computing weight and balance, an airplane is considered to be in balance when

• all moment arms of the plane fall within CG range.

• the movement of the passengers will not cause the moment arms to fall outside the CG range.

• the average moment arm of the loaded airplane falls within its CG range.

What tasks are completed prior to weighing an aircraft to determine its empty weight?

• Remove all items on the aircraft equipment list; drain fuel, compute oil and hydraulic fluid weight.

• Remove all items except those on the aircraft equipment list; drain fuel and hydraulic fluid.

• Remove all items except those on the aircraft equipment list; drain fuel and fill hydraulic reservoir.

The useful load of an aircraft consists of the

• crew, usable fuel, oil, and fixed equipment.

• crew, usable fuel, passengers, and cargo

• crew, passengers, usable fuel, oil, cargo, and fixed equipment.

Which of the following can provide the empty weight of an aircraft if the aircraft's weight and balance records become lost, destroyed, or otherwise inaccurate?

• The applicable flight manual or pilot's operating handbook.

• Reweighing the aircraft

• The applicable Aircraft Specification or Type Certificate Data Sheet.

In the theory of weight and balance, what is the name of the distance from the fulcrum to an object?

• Fulcrum arm

• Balance arm

• Lever arm

(1) Private aircraft are required by regulations to be weighed periodically.

(2) Private aircraft are required to be weighed after making any alteration.

Regarding the above statements,

• only No. 2 is true

• neither No. 1 nor No. 2 is true

• only No. 1 is true

What FAA-approved document gives the leveling means to be used when weighing an aircraft?

• Type Certificate Data Sheet.

• AC 43.13-1A.

• Manufacturer's maintenance manual.

To obtain useful weight data for purposes of determining the CG, it is necessary that an aircraft be weighed

• with all items of useful load installed.

• with no more than minimum fuel (1/12 gallon per METO horsepower) in all fuel tanks.

• in a level flight attitude.

What type of measurement is used to designate the arm in weight and balance computation?

• Distance

• Weight

• Weight x distance

What determines whether the value of the moment is preceded by a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign in aircraft weight and balance?

• The location of the weight in reference to the datum

• The location of the datum in reference to the aircraft CG

• The result of a weight being added or removed and its location relative to the datum
