Accepted Answer

Operating handbook.

Answer

Airworthiness certificate.

Answer

Certificate of registration

Answer

Flight Log book.

Question 8

What effect has the elevation above MSL of an airfield on the carrying force and maximum take-off mass of a balloon?

Accepted Answer

The higher the elevation, the lower the carrying force.

Answer

The lower the elevation, the lower the maximum take-off mass.

Answer

The lower the elevation, the higherthe maximum take-off mass.

Answer

The higher the elevation, the greater the carrying force.
