Question 1

For the purpose of completing the Mass and Balance documentation, the Dry Operating Mass is defined as:

Accepted Answer

The total mass of the aircraft ready for a specific type of operation excluding all usable fuel and traffic load.

Answer

The total mass of the aircraft ready for a specific type of operation excluding crew and crew baggage.

Answer

The total mass of the aircraft ready for a specific type of operation excluding all traffic load.

Answer

The total mass of the aircraft ready for a specific type of operation excluding all usable fuel.

Question 2

To measure the mass and CG-position of an aircraft, it should be weighed with a minimum of:

Accepted Answer

3 points of support

Answer

4 point of support

Answer

1 point of support

Answer

2 points of support

Question 3

The mass of an aircraft is 1950 kg. If 450 kg is added to a cargo hold 1.75 metres from the loaded centre of gravity (cg). The loaded cg will move:

Accepted Answer

33 cm.

Answer

40 cm.

Answer

34 cm.

Answer

30 cm.

Question 4

The Zero Fuel Mass and the Dry Operating Mass

Accepted Answer

Differ by the value of the traffic load mass.

Answer

Differ by the sum of the mass of usable fuel plus traffic load mass.

Answer

Are the same value.

Answer

Differ by the mass of usable fuel.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

A high threshold speed and possible undercarriage or other structural failure.

Answer

A landing further along the runway than normal.

Answer

A high threshold speed and a shorter stop distance.

Answer

A landing short resultant from the increased angle of approach due to the very high aeroplane mass.

Question 6

A jet transport has the following structural limits:-Maximum Ramp Mass: 63 060 kg-Maximum Take Off Mass: 62 800 kg-Maximum Landing Mass: 54 900 kg-Maximum Zero Fuel Mass: 51 300 kgThe aeroplane's fuel is loaded accordance with the following requirements:-Taxi fuel: 400 kg-Trip fuel: 8400 kg-Contingency & final reserve fuel: 1800 kg-Alternate fuel: 1100 kgIf the Dry Operating Mass is 34930 kg, determine the maximum traffic load that can be carried on the flight if departure and landing airfields are not performance limited.

Accepted Answer

16 370 kg

Answer

16 430 kg

Answer

17 070 kg

Answer

16 570 kg

Question 7

. Overloading has the following effects on performance:

Accepted Answer

Increased take off and landing distance, reduced rate of climb and increased fuel consumption

Answer

Reduced take off and landing distance, increased VNE and increased fuel consumption

Answer

Increased take off and landing distance, increased rate of climb and increased fuel consumption

Answer

Reduced take off and landing distance, increased VNE and reduced rate of climb

Question 8

An aeroplane, which is scheduled to fly an oceanic sector, is due to depart from a high altitude airport in the tropics at 1400 local time. The airport has an exceptionally long runway. Which of the following is most likely to be the limiting factor(s) in determining the take - off mass ?

Accepted Answer

Altitude and temperature of the departure airfield.

Answer

Maximum zero fuel mass.

Answer

En route obstacle clearance requirements.

Answer

Maximum certificated take - off mass.

Question 9

Considering only structural limitations, on very short legs with minimum take-off fuel, the Traffic Load is normally limited by:

Accepted Answer

Maximum Zero Fuel Mass.

Answer

Actual Landing Mass.

Answer

Maximum Take-off Mass.

Answer

Maximum Landing Mass.

Question 10

For the purpose of completing the Mass and Balance documentation, the Operating Mass is considered to be Dry Operating Mass plus

Accepted Answer

Take-off Fuel Mass.

Answer

Ramp (Block) Fuel Mass.

Answer

Trip Fuel Mass.

Answer

Ramp Fuel Mass less the fuel for APU and run-up.
