Weight and Balance Final

8153. When computing weight and balance, an airplane is considered to be in balance when

• the average moment arm or the loaded airplane falls

• 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

8154. What task are completed prior to weighing an aircraft to determine its empty 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, compute oil and hydraulic fluid weight

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

8154-1. What is meant by the term " residual fuel"

• A known amount of fuel left in the tanks, lines, and engine.

• The fuel remaining in the tanks, lines, and engine after draining.

• The fuel remaining in the tank, lines and engine before draining.

8155. The useful load of the aircraft consists of the

• crew, usable fuel, passengers, and cargo.

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

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

8156. Which of the following ca provide the empty weight of an aircraft if the aircrafts weight and balance records become lost. destroyed, or otherwise inaccurate?

• Reweighing the aircraft

• The applicable Aircraft Specification or Type Certificate Data Sheet

• The applicable flight manual or pilot's operating handbook

8156-1. Where do you look to determine the operating CG range when calculating a new aircraft weight and balance document?

• It is found on the airframe data plate.

• It is found in the type certificate data sheet.

• It is found in the pilot's aircraft information manual.

8157. In the theory of weight and balance, what is the name of the distance from the fulcrum to an object.

• Level arm

• Balance arm

• Fulcrum

8157-1. In the process of weighing an airplane toward obtaining the CG, the arms from the weighing points always extend

• parallel to the centerline of the airplane

• straight forward from each of the landing gear

• directly from each weighing point to the others

8157-2. What would have an effect on aircraft CG results when conducting a weight and balance check.

• Leaving the parking break on

• Leaving the parking break off

• Leaving the downlocks installed

8157-3. When an aircraft is positioned for weighing on scales located under each landing gear wheel, which of the following may cause erroneous scale reading?

• Gear downlocks installed.

• Parking brakes set

• Parking breaks not set
