Refer to Figure 35 on page 37.
Determine the aircraft loaded moment and the aircraft category. WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight 1,350 51.5 Pilot and front passenger 380 --- Fuel, 48 gal 288 --- Oil, 8 qt --- ---
  1. 70 utility category
  2. 79.2 normal category
  3. 80 on the border between normal and utility
  4. 77.5 normal
Explanation
Correct answer: B. 79.2 normal category. First start on the top chart and run the weight numbers over to the position slope and then run down to the moment below. This adds up to 51.5 (Aircraft weight) + 14.4 (Weight of the pilots and front seat passenger) + 13.5 (Weight of the fuel- extra tanks) - 0.2 (oil) equals 79.2. Then on the lower graph take the weight of the plane 2033 on the left side of the chart. Find the moment on the bottom of the chart at 79.2. Make lines from each point and see where they cross. First is it within the envelope? Yes; then the category is normal.
