Questions Mass and Balance - ATPL
In calculations with respect to the position of the centre of gravity a reference is made to a datum. The datum is
Moment (balance) arms are measured from a specific point to the body station at which the mass is located. That point is known as
The distance from the datum to the Centre of Gravity of a mass is known as
The centre of gravity of an aeroplane is at 25% of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord. This means that the centre of gravity of the aeroplane is situated at 25% of the length of:
The datum used for balance calculations is:
Longitudinal CG location can be expressed:
Which of the following is unlikely to have any effect on the position of the centre of gravity on an aeroplane in flight?
To measure the mass and CG-position of an aircraft, it should be weighed with a minimum of:
Loads must be adequately secured in order to:
A load placed aft of the datum:
