17. The maximum taxi (ramp) mass is governed by:




18. The Maximum Zero Fuel Mass is the mass of the aeroplane with no usable fuel on board. It is a limitation which is:




19. The Zero Fuel Mass and the Dry Operating Mass




20. Mass for individual passengers (to be carried on an aircraft) may be determined from a verbal statement by or on behalf of the passengers if the number of




21. The Maximum Zero Fuel Mass is a structural limiting mass. It is made up of the aeroplane Dry Operational mass plus

25. "An aeroplane, which is scheduled to fly an oceanic sector, is due to depart from a high altitude airport in the tropics at 1400 local time. The airport has an exceptionally long runway. Which of the following is most likely to be the limiting factor(s) in determining the take - off mass ?"




26. "On an aeroplane with a seating capacity of more than 30, it is decided to use standard mass values for computing the total mass of passengers. If the flight is not a holiday charter, the mass value which may be used for an adult is"




27. The standard mass for a child is




28. "On an aeroplane with 20 or more seats engaged on an inter-continental flight, the 'standard mass' which may be used for passenger baggage is"




29. In determining the Dry Operating Mass of an aeroplane it is common practice to use 'standard mass' values for crew. These values are




30. "When considering the effects of increased mass on an aeroplane, which of the following is true?"




31. "If an aeroplane is at a higher mass than anticipated, for a given airspeed the angle of attack will"




32. Conversion of fuel volume to mass




33. Standard masses may be used for the computation of mass values for baggage if the aeroplane




34. Which of the following is most likely to affect the range of centre of gravity positions on an aeroplane?




35. The term 'useful load' as applied to an aircraft includes




36. At maximum certificated take-off mass an aeroplane departs from an airfield which is not limiting for either take-off or landing masses. During initial climb the number one engine suffers a contained disintegration. An emergency is declared and the aeroplane returns to departure airfield for an immediate landing. The most likely result of this action will be




37. "The Basic Empty Mass of a helicopter is the mass of the helicopter without crew,:"




38. "In cruise, an extreme aft longitudinal centre of gravity: "




39. The centre of gravity of an aeroplane is at 25% of the Mean Aerodynamic Chord. This means that the centre of gravity of the aeroplane is situated at 25% of the length of:




40. "The operator of an aircraft equipped with 50 seats uses standard masses for passengers and baggage. During the preparation of a scheduled flight a group of passengers present themselves at the check-in desk, it is apparent that even the lightest of these exceeds the value of the declared standard mass."




41. The datum used for balance calculations is:




42. "To measure the mass and CG-position of an aircraft, it should be weighed with a minimum of:"




43. The Dry Operating Mass of a helicopter is the total mass of a helicopter:




44. "During a violent avoidance manoeuvre, a light twin aircraft, certified to FAR 23 requirements was subjected to an instantaneous load factor of 4.2. The Flight Manual specifies that the aircraft is certified in the normal category for a load factor of -1.9 to +3.8. Considering the certification requirements and taking into account that the manufacturer of the twin did not include, during its conception, a supplementary margin in the flight envelope, it might be possible to observe;"
