Question 1
An aircraft has a Basic Empty Mass (BEM) of 1,200 kg with a moment of 3,000 kg.m. The pilot loads front seat occupants at 150 kg (arm 1.60 m), rear seat occupants at 150 kg (arm 2.50 m), and usable fuel of 100 kg (arm 2.00 m). What is the center of gravity (CG) of the aircraft in its loaded configuration?
Correct Answer:
2.38 m aft of datum
Question 2
An aircraft has a total mass of 3,500 kg and its CG is located at 1.45 m aft of the datum. If a cargo item of 80 kg is shifted from the rear baggage compartment (arm 3.20 m) to the forward compartment (arm 1.20 m), what is the new CG position?
Correct Answer:
1.40 m aft of datum
Question 3
A cargo box weighing 480 kg is loaded onto a rectangular pallet measuring 1.2 m by 0.8 m. The floor load limit of the cargo compartment is 450 kg/m². If the box is placed flat on the pallet, does it exceed the limit, and what is the actual floor intensity?
Correct Answer:
Yes, the actual intensity is 500 kg/m²
Question 4
Given: Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC) is 2.0 m, and the Leading Edge of the MAC (LEMAC) is 1.5 m aft of the datum. If the center of gravity (CG) of the aircraft is located at 1.9 m aft of the datum, what is the CG expressed as a percentage of the MAC (% MAC)?
Correct Answer:
20% MAC
Question 5
What is the structural and aerodynamic consequence of loading an aircraft such that the center of gravity is located further aft than the certified aft limit?
Correct Answer:
Decreased longitudinal stability, difficulty in stall recovery, and light elevator control forces
