FAA Weight and Balance Test 1

Calculate the moment of the airplane and determine which category is applicable.

A. 79.2, utility category.

B. 80.8, utility category.

C. 81.2, normal category.

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) What is the maximum amount of baggage that can be carried when the airplane is loaded as follows? Front seat occupants.......................387 lb Rear seat occupants........................293 lb Fuel.......................................35 gal

A. 45 pounds.

B. 63 pounds.

C. 220 pounds.

Correct! Wrong!

If an aircraft is loaded 90 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight and fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained?

A. 10 gallons.

B. 12 gallons.

C. 15 gallons.

Correct! Wrong!

Which items are included in the empty weight of an aircraft?

A. Unusable fuel and undrainable oil.

B. Only the airframe, powerplant, and optional equipment.

C. Full fuel tanks and engine oil to capacity.

Correct! Wrong!

Unusable fuel and undrainable oil are always included in empty weight, but some newer aircraft include full engine oil in the empty weight. Refer to the weight and balance documents for the aircraft you are flying. Answer B is incorrect because unusable fuel and undrainable oil are also included in the empty weight. Answer C is incorrect because full fuel is never included in the empty weight.

(Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) Calculate the weight and balance and determine if the CG and the weight of the airplane are within limits. Front seat occupants.......................350 lb Rear seat occupants........................325 lb Baggage.....................................27 lb Fuel........................................35 gal

A. CG 81.7, out of limits forward.

B. CG 83.4, within limits.

C. CG 84.1, within limits.

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figures 32 and 33.) Determine if the airplane weight and balance is within limits. Front seat occupants.......................340 lb Rear seat occupants........................295 lb Fuel (main wing tanks)......................44 gal Baggage.....................................56 lb

A. 20 pounds overweight, CG aft of aft limits.

B. 20 pounds overweight, CG within limits.

C. 20 pounds overweight, CG forward of forward limits.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the maximum amount of fuel that may be aboard the airplane on takeoff if loaded as follows?

A. 24 gallons.

B. 32 gallons.

C. 40 gallons.

Correct! Wrong!

A. CG 92.44.

B. CG 94.01.

C. CG 119.8.

Correct! Wrong!
