Which of the following has references to aircraft mass and balance?
ICAO Annex 2.
ICAO Annex 4.
ICAO Annex 5.
ICAO Annex 6.
The mass and centre of gravity of an aircraft must be established by actual weighing:
by the pilot on entry of aircraft into service
by the engineers before commencing service
by the operator prior to initial entry of aircraft into service
by the owner operator before the first flight of the day
The operator must establish the mass of the Traffic Load:
prior to initial entry into service
by actual weighing or determine the mass of the traffic load
prior to embarking on the aircraft
by using an appropriate method of calculation
The mass of the fuel load must be determined:
by the operator using actual density or by density calculation specified in the Operations Manual.
by the owner using actual density.
by the pilot using actual density or by density calculation specified in the Operations Manual.
by the fuel bowser operator using actual density or by density calculation specified in the Fuelling Manual.
The Dry Operating Mass is the total mass of the aeroplane ready for a specific type of operation and includes:
Crew and passenger baggage, special equipment, water and chemicals
Crew and their hold baggage, special equipment, water and contingency fuel
Crew baggage, catering and other special equipment, potage water and lavatory chemicals
Crew and baggage, catering and passenger service equipment, potable water and lavatory chemicals.
The Maximum Zero Fuel Mass is the maximum permissible mass of the aeroplane:
with no useable fuel
with no useable fuel unless the Aeroplane Flight Manual Limitations explicitly include it.
including the fuel taken up for take-off
including all useable fuel unless the Aeroplane Flight Operations Manual explicitly excludes it.
The Maximum Structural Take-off Mass is:
the maximum permissible total aeroplane mass on completion of the refuelling operation.
the maximum permissible total aeroplane mass for take-off subject to the limiting conditions at the departure airfield.
the maximum permissible total aeroplane mass for take-off but excluding fuel.
the maximum permissible total aeroplane mass at the start of the take-off run.
The Regulated Take-off Mass:
is the lower of maximum structural take-off mass and the performance limited take-off mass.
is the higher of the maximum structural zero fuel mass and the performance limited takeoff mass.
the maximum structural take-off mass subject to any last minute mass changes
the maximum performance limited take-off mass subject to any last minute mass changes.
The Take-off mass
the maximum permissible total aeroplane mass on completion of the refuelling operation.
the mass of the aeroplane including everyone and everything contained within it at the start of the take-off run.
the maximum permissible total aeroplane mass for take-off but excluding fuel.
the maximum permissible total aeroplane mass at the start of the take-off run.
The Operating Mass:
is the lower of the structural mass and the performance limited mass
is the higher of the structural mass and the performance limited mass
is the actual mass of the aircraft on take-off
Is the dry operating mass and the fuel load.
The Basic Empty Mass is the mass of the aeroplane:
plus non-standard items such as lubricating oil, fire extinguishers, emergency oxygen equipment etc.
minus non-standard items such as lubricating oil, fire extinguishers, emergency oxygen equipment etc.
plus standard items such as unusable fluids, fire extinguishers, emergency oxygen equipment, supplementary electronics etc.
minus non-standard items such as unusable fluids, fire extinguishers. emergency oxygen and supplementary electronic equipment etc
The Traffic Load:
includes passenger masses and baggage masses but excludes any non-revenue load.
includes passenger masses, baggage masses and cargo masses but excludes any nonrevenue load.
includes passenger masses, baggage masses, cargo masses and any non-revenue load.
includes passenger masses, baggage masses and any non-revenue load but excludes cargo.
The Operating Mass:
is the take-off mass minus the traffic load.
is the landing mass minus the traffic load
is the maximum zero fuel mass less the traffic load
is the take-off mass minus the basic empty mass and crew mass
The Traffic Load is:
The Zero Fuel Mass minus the Dry operating Mass
The Take-off Mass minus the sum of the Dry Operating Mass and the total fuel load
The landing Mass minus the sum of the Dry Operating Mass and the mass of the remaining fuel.
all the above
The Basic Empty Mass is the:
MZFM minus both traffic load and the fuel load
Take-off mass minus the traffic load and the fuel load
Operating mass minus the crew and fuel load
Landing mass less traffic load
