Question 6: Residual Fuel and Oil

Answer:

The fluids that will not normally drain because they are trapped in the lines, filters, tanks, etc.

Question 7: Maximum Ramp Weight

Answer:

The maximum weight approved for operations on the ground.

Question 8: Lateral Center of Gravity

Answer:

Determining the CG of an airplane from wing tip to wing tip.

Question 9: Utility Category

Answer:

That category of aircraft, certified under FAR Part 23, which are intended for limited acrobatic operation.

Question 10: Center of Gravity Range

Answer:

The distance between the forward and rearward limits.

Question 11: Usable Fuel

Answer:

The portion of the total fuel load available to an aircraft in flight.

Question 12: Station

Answer:

Is a longitudinal location on an aircraft measured from the datum, or a lateral wing point measured from buttline "0".

Question 13: Ballast

Answer:

Weight that is installed in an aircraft for the purpose of bringing the CG into the desired range.

Question 14: Full Oil (total Oil)

Answer:

The amount of oil indicated on the TCD's which includes usable and unusable oil.

Question 15: Acrobatic Category Airplane

Answer:

An airplane that is approved for flight without restrictions other than those shown to be necessary as a result of a flight test.
