Question
Answer
The main purpose of weighing an aircraft is to obtain what?   the empty weight and empty weight center of gravity  
🗑
In the event that any aircraft’s weight and balance records are lost or damaged beyond use, what should you do?   the aircraft should be reweighed  
🗑
The empty weight of an aircraft includes what?   includes all operating equipment that has a fixed location and is actually installed in the aircraft.  
🗑
Is a full fuel included in the aircraft’s empty weight?   nope. only the Unusable (residual) fuel is because it is trapped in the fuel lines

What is the definition of Datum?   An imaginary vertical line which all measurements of arm are taken. The datum is established by the manufacturer.  
🗑
What is the definition of Arm?   the horizontal distance from the datum to a piece of equipment  
🗑
What is the definition of Moment?   The product of a weight multiplied by its arm.  
🗑
what is the PROCEDURE FOR WEIGHING!?!?!?!?   1 Remove any items that are not part of the empty weight. 2 If possible, drain fuel; if not then subtract full weight afterward. 3 Top off oil and hydro fluid. 4 Position all slats, slots, spoilers, and flaps correctly. 5 Release the aircraft brakes.  
🗑
what is the PROCEDURE FOR WEIGHING!?!?!?!? P2??!!   6 Make sure the aircraft is in level flight attitude. 7 weight it..... almost fit it all in 1 card

What is tare weight?   extra weight on the scales that must be subtracted  
🗑
examples of tare weight?   weight of the jack, wheel chocks placed on the scales and ground locks left in place  
🗑
What is ballast?   Weight used in an aircraft to attain the desired CG balance, when the center of gravity is not within limits  
🗑
What is permanent ballast?   Weight installed to compensate for the removal or installation of equipment items and remains for long periods at a time  
🗑
What is useful load?   All items on a plane that is not part of empty weight  
🗑
