Question 2

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 3

The center of gravity has to be located...

Accepted Answer

Between the front and the rear C.G. limit.

Answer

Behind the rear C.G. limit

Answer

In front of the front C.G. limit.

Answer

Right of the lateral C. G. limit.

Question 4

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 5

Which section of the flight manual describes the basic empty mass of an aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Weight and balance

Answer

Limitations

Answer

Normal procedures

Answer

Performance

Answer

B

Answer

C

Answer

D

Question 7

The term "balance arm" in the context of a mass and balance calculation defines the...

Accepted Answer

Distance from the datum to the center of gravity of a mass.

Answer

Distance of a mass from the center of gravity

Answer

Point on the longitudinal axis of an aeroplane or its extension from which the centers of gravity of all masses are referenced.

Answer

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

Question 8

What is the purpose of "interception lines" in visual navigation?

Accepted Answer

They are used as easily recognizable guidance upon a possible loss of orientation

Answer

They help to continue the flight when flight visibility drops below VFR minima

Answer

To mark the next available en-route airport during the flight

Answer

To visualize the range limitation from the departure aerodrome

Question 9

Exceeding the maximum allowed aircraft mass is...

Accepted Answer

Not permissible and essentially dangerous

Answer

Compensated by the pilot's control inputs.

Answer

Only relevant if the excess is more than 10 %.

Answer

Exceptionally permissible to avoid delays

During a cross-country flight, you approach a downwind turning point. The point should be taken ... (2,00 P.)

Accepted Answer

As high as possible.

Answer

As low as possible.

Answer

As steep as possible.

Answer

With as less bank as possible
