1 The centre of gravity of a body is that point
through which the sum of the forces of all masses of the body is considered to act.
where the sum of the external forces is equal to zero.
which is always used as datum when computing moments.
where the sum of the moments from the external forces acting on the body is equal
to zero.

2 An aeroplane is loaded with its centre of gravity towards the rear limit. This will result in:
an increased risk of stalling due to a decrease in tailplane moment
a reduction in power required for a given speed.
an increase in longitudinal stability.
a reduced fuel consumption as a result of reduced drag.

The Maximum Zero Fuel Mass ensures that the centre of gravity remains within
limits after the uplift of fuel.
The Maximum Landing Mass of an aeroplane is restricted by structural limitations,

performance limitations and the strength of the runway.
The Maximum Take-off Mass is equal to the maximum mass when leaving the
ramp.
The Basic Empty Mass is equal to the mass of the aeroplane excluding traffic load
and useable fuel but including the crew.

7 If nose wheel moves aft during gear retraction, how will this movement affect the location
of the centre of gravity (cg) on the aircraft?
It will cause the cg to move aft.
It will cause the cg to move forward.
It will not affect the cg location.
The cg location will change, but the direction cannot be told the information given.

10 The operator of an aircraft equipped with 50 seats uses standard masses for passengers
and baggage. During the preparation of a scheduled flight a group of passengers present
themselves at the check-in desk, it is apparent that even the lightest of these exceeds the
value of the declared standard mass.
the operator may use the standard masses for the load and balance calculation
without correction
the operator is obliged to use the actual masses of each passenger
the operator should use the individual masses of the passengers or alter the
standard mass
the operator may use the standard masses for the balance but must correct these
for the load calculation

19 At maximum certificated take-off mass an aeroplane departs from an airfield which is not
limiting for either take-off or landing masses. During initial climb the number one engine
suffers a contained disintegration. An emergency is declared and the aeroplane returns to
departure airfield for an immediate landing. The most likely result of this action will be
a high threshold speed and possible undercarriage or other structural failure.
a high threshold speed and a shorter stop distance.
a landing short resultant from the increased angle of approach due to the very high
aeroplane mass.
a landing further along the runway than normal.

With regard to the take-off performance of a twin jet aeroplane, why does the take-off
performance climb limit graph show a kink at 30°C and PA 0 ft?
At lower temperatures one has to take the danger of icing into account.
At higher temperatures the flat rated engines determines the climb limit mass.
The engines are pressure limited at lower temperature, at higher temperatures they
are temperature limited.
At higher temperatures the VMBE determines the climb limit mass.

Consider the take-off performance for the twin jet aeroplane climb limit chart. Why has the
wind been omitted from the chart?
There is a built-in safety measure.
There is no effect of the wind on the climb angle relative to the ground.
The climb limit performances are taken relative to the air.
The effect of the wind must be taken from another chart.

With regard to the drift down performance of the twin jet aeroplane, why does the curve
representing 35 000 kg gross mass in the chart for drift down net profiles start at
approximately 4 minutes at FL370?
Because at this mass the engines slow down at a slower rate after failure, there is
still some thrust left during four minutes.
All the curves start at the same point, which is situated outside the chart.
Due to higher TAS at this mass it takes more time to develop the optimal rate of
descent, because of the inertia involved.
Because at this mass it takes approximately 4 minutes to decelerate to the

optimum speed for drift down at the original cruising level.

In any case runway slope is one of the factors taken into account when
determining the required landing field length.
The required landing field length is the distance from 35 ft to the full stop point.
When determining the maximum allowable landing mass at destination, 60% of the
available distance is taken into account, if the runway is expected to be dry.
An anti-skid system malfunction has no effect on the required landing field length.

139 "Integrated range" curves or tables are presented in the Aeroplane Operations Manuals.
Their purpose is
to determine the fuel consumption for a certain still air distance considering the
decreasing fuel flow with decreasing mass.
to determine the optimum speed considering the fuel cost as well as the time
related cost of the aeroplane.
to determine the still air distance for a wind components varying with altitude.
to determine the flight time for a certain leg under consideration of temperature
deviations.
