Mass and Balance - Aero Planes: DGCA Air Navigation questions

Question 1

MSTOM = 42,100 kg
MSLM = 35,000 kg
PLLM = 33,000 kg
MZFM = 31,000 kg
DOM = 19,000 kg
Total Fuel Capacity = 12,500 kg
Maximum Trip Fuel = 9,000 kg
Contingency fuel = 1000 kg
Alternate fuel = 500 kg
Final reserve fuel = 400 kg
What is the maximum take-off mass and maximum traffic load?

Accepted Answer

41,900 kg/ 12,000 kg

Answer

42,100 kg/ 12,200 kg

Answer

42,000 kg/ 12,100 kg

Question 2

The center of gravity of an aeroplane is that point through which the total mass of the aeroplane is said to act. The weight acts in a direction.

Accepted Answer

parallel to the gravity vector

Answer

governed by the distribution of the mass within the aero plane

Answer

always parallel to the aero plane's vertical axis

Question 3

When an aeroplane is stationary on the ground, its total weight will act vertically.

Accepted Answer

through its center of gravity

Answer

through its center of pressure

Answer

through a point defined as the datum point

Question 4

The weight of an aeroplane, which is in level non-accelerated flight, is said to act.

Accepted Answer

vertically through the center of gravity

Answer

always along the vertical axis of the aero plane

Answer

vertically through the datum point

Question 5

The center of gravity of an aeroplane.

Accepted Answer

can be allowed to move between defined limits

Answer

may only be moved if permitted by the regulating authority and endorsed in the aero plane's certificate of airworthiness

Answer

must be maintained in a fixed position by careful distribution of the load
