Question 8

The center of gravity (CG) defines...

Accepted Answer

The point through which the force of gravity is said to act on a mass.

Answer

The product of mass and balance arm

Answer

The point on the longitudinal axis or its extension from which the centers of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Answer

The point on the longitudinal axis or its extension from which the centers of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

By weighing.

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

Answer

Through data provided by the aircraft manufacturer.

Question 10

Unless the aircraft is equipped and certified accordingly...

Accepted Answer

Flight into known or forecast icing conditions is prohibited. Should the aircraft enter an area of icing conditions inadvertantly, it should be left without delay.

Answer

Flight into forecast icing conditions is prohibited. Should the aircraft enter an area of icing conditions inadvertantly, the flight may be continued as long as visual meteorological conditions are maintained.

Answer
