In the next test, we evaluate the concepts learned in the Third Module (Drill, Twist Drill, Reamers,

Countersink, Taps and Dies and Measuring tools). 20 questions are asked, for which you have 60
minutes.
In each question you must choose the best option

(1) Private aircraft are required by regulations to be weighed periodically.

(2) Private aircraft are required to be weighed after making any alteration.

Regarding the above statements,

Neither No 1 nor No 2 is true

Only No 1 is true

Only No 2 is true

Both No 1 and No 2 is true

Zero fuel weight is the

Maximum permissible weight of a loaded aircraft (passengers, crew and cargo) without fuel

Dry weight plus the weight of full crew, passengers, and cargo

Basic operating weight without crew, fuel and cargo

Maximum permissible weight of a loaded aircraft (passengers, crew and cargo) with fuel

When dealing with weight and balance of an aircraft, the term 'maximum weight' is interpreted to mean
the maximum

Authorized weight of the aircraft and its contents

Weight of the empty aircraft

Weight of the useful load

Weight of the payload

The maximum weight as used in weight and balance control of a given aircraft can normally be found

In the Aircraft Specification or Type Certificate Data Sheet

By adding the empty weight and payload

By adding the weight of full fuel, pilot, passengers, and maximum allowable baggage to the empty weight

By adding the empty weight and pilot

What FAA-approved document gives the leveling means to be used when weighing an aircraft?

Type Certificate Data Sheet

AC 43.13-1B

Manufacturer´s maintenance manual

AC 43.43 – 1B

What type of measurement is used to designate the arm in weight and balance computation?

Distance

Weight

Weight x distance

Weight / distance

In a balance computation of an aircraft from which an item located aft of the datum was removed, use

(-) weight X (+) arm (-) moment

(+) weight X (-) arm (-) moment

(-) weight X (-) arm (+) moment

(+) weight X (+) arm (w) moment

If the reference datum line is placed at the nose of an airplane rather than at the firewall or some other
location aft of the nose,

All measurement arms will be in positive numbers

All measurement arms will be in negative numbers

Measurement arms can be either positive or negative numbers depending on the manufacture´s preference

Some measurement arms will be in negative numbers

The useful load of an aircraft consists of the

Crew, usable fuel, passengers, and cargo

Crew, usable fuel, oil, and fixed equipment

Crew, usable fuel, passengers, oil, cargo, and fixed equipment

Crew and fixed equipment

What determines whether the value of a moment is preceded by a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign in aircraft
weight and balance?

The result of a weight being added or removed and its location relative to the datum

The location of weight in reference to the datum

The location of the datum in reference to the aircraft CG

The location of the weight in reference to the aircraft CG

The useful load of an aircraft is the difference between

The maximum takeoff weight and basic empty weight

Maximum ramp or takeoff weight as applicable, and zero fuel weight

The weight of an aircraft with all seats filled, and full baggage / cargo

Aircraft weight with all seats empty, no baggage / cargo and minimum operating fuel

The maximum weight of an aircraft is the

Empty weight plus useful load

Empty weight plus crew, passengers, and fixed equipment

Empty weight plus crew, maximum fuel

Empty weight plus crew, maximum fuel and baggage

The amount of fuel used for computing empty weight and corresponding CG is

Empty fuel tanks

Unusable fuel

The amount of fuel necessary for ½ hour of operation

The amount of fuel necessary for 1 hour of operation

If a 40-pound generator applies +1400 inch-pounds to a reference axis, the generator is located

+ 35 from the axis

– 35 from the axis

– 25 from the axis

+ 25 from the axis

If it is necessary to weigh an aircraft with full fuel tanks, all fuel weight must be subtracted from the
scale reading(s)

Except unusable fuel

Except minimum fuel

Including unusable fuel

Including minimum fuel

Two boxes which weigh 10 pounds and 5 pounds are placed in an airplane so that their distance aft
from the CG are 4 feet and 2 feet respectively. How far forward of the CG should a third box, weighing
20 pounds, be placed so that the CG will not be changed?

2,5 feet

3.0 feet

4.5 feet

8.0 feet
What tasks are completed prior to weighing an aircraft todetermine its empty weight?

Remove all items except those on the aircraft equipment list; drain fuel and fill hydraulic reservoir.

Remove all items except those on the aircraft equipment list; drain fuel and hydraulic fluid.

Remove all items on the aircraft equipment list; drain fuel, compute oil and hydraulic fluid weight.

Including crew and cargo containers

Which of the following can provide the empty weight of an aircraft if the aircraft's weight and balance
records become lost, destroyed, or otherwise inaccurate?

Reweighing the aircraft.

The applicable Aircraft Specification or Type Certificate Data Sheet.

The applicable flight manual or pilot's operating handbook.

Calculate of weight of airplane

Use of which of the following generally yields the highest degree of aircraft leveling accuracy?

Plumb bob and chalk line.

Spirit level(s).

Electronic load cell(s).

Mechanical load cell(s).

To obtain useful weight data for purposes of determining the CG, it is necessary that an aircraft be
weighed
in a level flight attitude.
with all items of useful load installed.
with no more than minimum fuel (1/12-gallon per METO horsepower) in all fuel tanks.
with pallets and cargo containers
