the amount or quantity of heaviness or mass

equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity.

(a)  

-includes the weight of the standard airplane, optional equipment, unusable fuel, and full operating fluids including full engine oil.

(a)  

-is the small amount of fuel in the tanks that cannot be safely used in flight or drained on the ground.

(a)  

term used for the weight of only the passengers, baggage, and cargo.

(a)  

payload plus weight of the flight crew and usable fuel.

(a)  

- the term used to describe the airplane loaded for flight prior to engine start.

(a)  

- ramp weight subtracting the fuel burned during engine start, run-up, and taxi.This is the weight of the airplane just before you release the brakes to begin the take-off roll

(a)  

The weight of the airplane loaded for take-off. It includes the basic weight empty plus the useful load.

(a)  

the take-off weight minus the fuel burned enroute.

(a)  

The maximum permissible weight of the airplane.

(a)  

The maximum weight approved for the start of the take-off run.

(a)  

The maximum weight approved for landing touchdown.

(a)  

A l m o s t e v e r y a s p e c t o f performance is influenced by the weight of the aircraft and its contents.

Excessive weight may cause overloading penalties.

(a)  

an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady.

(a)  

Balance Control includes the _____________ and _______________.

(a)  

the imaginary point where the aircraft would balance if suspended. • critical to an airplane's stability and elevator effectiveness

(a)  

the name for a distance from the datum is arm. On airplanes, the distances are generally measured in inches, and by tradition, distances aft of the datum are positive numbers and forward of the datum are negative.

(a)  

a weight created on the end of an arm

(a)  

Measurement of the tendency of the weight to cause rotation at the fulcrum. While an arm is simply a length, a moment is the __________multiplied by a ______.

(a)  

Moment is expressed in (a)   .

an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes The center of gravity limits usually are specified in inches from a reference datum.

(a)  

CG = (a)   /Total Weight

Moment = Weight X (a)  

Arm = (a)   /Weight
