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

(a)  

average location of all the weight of an object

(a)  

forward and aft center of gravity locations within which the aircraft must be operated at a given weight

(a)  

also called as the CG enveloped or range, and are established by the manufacturer

(a)  

imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes

(a)  

the weight of the empty airplane may change many times, during its lifetime as equipment is installed and removed

(a)  

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

(a)  

small amount of fuel in the tanks that cannot be safely used in flight

(a)  

similar to basic empty weight except that is does not include full engine oil. Instead, it only counts the weight of undrainable oil

(a)  

total weight of a loaded aircraft including all fuel

(a)  

subtracting the fuel burned during engine start, run-up, and taxi, yields in the ramp weight

(a)  

maximum allowable for takeoff

(a)  

takeoff weight minus the fuel burned enroute

(a)  

determined by the manufacturer and is based on the amount of stress the aircraft's structure can withstand during landing

(a)  

either prior to engine start or at takeoff you must subtract the basic empty weight from ramp weight or takeoff weight, respectively

(a)  

weight of only the passengers, baggage, and cargo

(a)  

used to describe the weight of the airplane and everything carried in it

(a)  

fuel available during flight

(a)  

oil usually measured in (a)  

distance from the datum

(a)  

distances aft of the datum are (a)   numbers

distances fwd of the datum are (a)   numbers

product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm

(a)  

THIS IS WHERE THE ARMS AND MOMENTS ARE CALCULATED BASED ON

(a)  

ALSO KNOWN AS THE TOTAL WEIGHT
