Accepted Answer

Balance arm.

Answer

Span width.

Answer

Lever.

Answer

Torque.

Question 2

The end of the green arc (4) indicates which airspeed? See figure (PFP-008)

Accepted Answer

VNO: Maximum speed for normal operations

Answer

VNE: Never-exceed speed

Answer

VFE: Maximum flap extended speed

Answer

VS1: Stall speed with flaps up

Question 3

The empty weight and the corresponding center of gravity (CG) of an aircraft are initially determined...

Accepted Answer

By weighing.

Answer

Through data provided by the aircraft manufacturer.

Answer

By calculation.

Answer

For one aircraft of a type only, since all aircraft of the same type have the same mass and CG position.

Question 4

Given the following data for a VFR flight: Trip fuel = 70 US gallons Contingency fuel = 5% of trip fuel Alternate and final reserve fuel = 20 US gallons Usable fuel at take-off = 95 US gallons After half of the distance you read that you have consumed 40 US gallons. Assume that fuel flow remains unchanged. Which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

The remaining fuel is insufficient for a landing at destination with alternate and final reserve fuel remaining.

Answer

Upon landing 15.0 US gallons will remain in addition to alternate and final reserve fuel.

Answer

Upon landing 5.0 US gallons will remain in addition to alternate and final reserve fuel.

Answer

Upon landing, a total of 40.0 US gallons will remain.
