Refer to Figure 35 on page 37.
Determine the moment with the following data: WEIGHT (LB) MOM/1000 Empty weight 1,350 51.5 Pilot and front passenger 340 --- Fuel (std tanks) Capacity --- Oil, 8 qt --- ---
  1. 73.8 pound inches
  2. 74.9 pound inches
  3. 39.54 pound inches
  4. 78.90 pound inches
Explanation
Correct answer: B. 74.9 pound inches. To determine the moment, start on the top graph in the figure. The weight and moment for the empty weight of the plane is 1350 51.5. Now determine the pilot and passenger on their slope which is the first slope on the graph and start at 340 on the left, go over to the slope and then down to the moment which is about 12.6. Then find the moment for the fuel for standard capacity which, on the graph, is 38 gal. Go down and the moment is 11. The chart gives you the moment of the oil at -0.2. Add 51.5+ 12.6+ 11-0.2= 74.9.
