CAAP Prepware - Aircraft Performance

The CG is located

• outside the CG envelope; the maximum gross weight is exceeded.

• outside the CG envelope; the maximum gross weight and the gross-weight moment are exceeded.

• within the CG envelope; neither maximum gross weight nor gross-weight moment is exceeded.

• within the CG envelope; the maximum gross weight is exceeded.

To clear a 50-foot obstacle, a jump takeoff would require

• more distance than a running takeoff.

• less distance than a running takeoff.

• the same distance as a running takeoff.

• none of the above.

What is the rate of climb?

• 480 ft/min.

• 515 ft/min.

• 540 ft/min.

A helicopter is loaded in such a manner that the CG is located forward of the allowable CG limit. Which is true about this situation?

• This condition would become less hazardous as fuel is consumed if the fuel tank is located aft of the rotor mast.

• In case of engine failure and the resulting autorotation, you may not have enough cyclic control to flare properly for the landing.

• Should the aircraft pitch up during cruise flight due to gusty winds, there may not be enough forward cyclic control available to lower the nose.

• The helicopter will automatically correct its CG during flight.

Based on this information, the CG would be located how far aft of datum?

• 100.2 inches.

• 109.0 inches.

• 121.7 inches.

The CG for the combined weights would be located how far aft of datum?

• 91.76 inches.

• 111.67 inches.

• 118.24 inches.

• 105.50 inches.
