An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be

(Refer to figure 61.) How should the 500-pound weight be shifted to balance the plank on the fulcrum?

(Refer to figure 35.) What is the maximum amount of fuel that may be aboard the airplane on takeoff if loaded as follows?

WEIGHT (LB.) MOM/1000
Empty weight 1,350 51.5
Pilot and front passenger 340 __
Rear passengers 310 __
Baggage 45 __
Oil, 8 qt __ __

 

(Refer to figure 35.) Calculate the moment of the airplane and determine which category is applicable.

WEIGHT (LB.) MOM/1000
Empty weight 1,350 51.5
Pilot and front passenger 310 __
Rear passengers 96 __
Fuel, 38 gal __ __
Oil, 8 qt __ –0.2

 

(Refer to figures 33 and 34.) Upon landing, the front passenger (180 pounds) departs the airplane. A rear passenger (204 pounds) moves to the front passenger position. What effect does this have on the CG if the airplane weighed 2,690 pounds and the MOM/100 was 2,260 just prior to the passenger transfer?
