The FAA
Aviation Mechanic - General
test bank contains questions pertaining to
Weight and Balance
. The following list contains only a relatively small percentage of the pertinent
questions. Our software, which you are free to download now at no cost, will
generally contain a much more complete set of questions associated with this
test bank. This list is intended only to familiarize you in a general way with
the questions of the
Aviation Mechanic - General
test bank.
Did you know? Despite their claims of completeness,
the FAA test banks provided by several other online test preparation sources
are woefully incomplete. Read more about the
situation here. Our GroundSchool FAA written test preparation software generally
contains a much more up to date and complete question set and in no way suffers
from such deficiencies. In fact, it's the best way to prepare for your FAA written
test, period.
That said, while the following questions are intended
as a general familiarization tool, this list may not be up-to-date nor accurate.
We do not update this website as often as we update our software, which will
contain at any moment all questions that we have for a given test / topic. Therefore,
if you need to actually study for your test, instead of using the list below,
we strongly, strongly encourage you to download our GroundSchool
Aviation Mechanic - General
written test prep software. Not only is it more complete and more up to date,
but it also includes answers and explanation and has many features to make your
study fast and efficient.

- In the process of weighing an airplane toward obtaining the CG, the arms from the weighing points always extend
- If it is necessary to weigh an aircraft with full fuel tanks, all fuel weight must be subtracted from the scale readings
- All other things being equal, if an item of useful load located aft of an aircraft's CG is removed, the aircraft's CG change will be
- If an aircraft CG is found to be at 24 percent of MAC, that 25 percent is an expression of the
- What tasks are completed prior to weighing an aircraft to determine its empty weight?
-
(1) Private aircraft are required by regulations to be weighed periodically.
(2) Private aircraft are required to be weighed after making any alteration.
Regarding the above statements,
- What determines whether the value of the moment is preceded by a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign in aircraft weight and balance?
- If the reference datum line is placed at the nose of an airplane rather than at the firewall or some other location aft of the nose,
- The useful load of an aircraft is the
- An aircraft with an empty weight of 2,100 pounds and an empty weight CG +32.5 was altered as follows:
1. two 18-pound passenger seats located at +73 were removed;
2. structural modifications were made at +77 increasing weight by 17 pounds;
3. a seat and safety belt weighing 25 pounds were installed at +74.5; and
4. radio equipment weighing 35 pounds was installed at +95.
What is the new empty weight CG?
- As weighed, the total empty weight of an aircraft is 5,862 pounds with a moment of 885,957. However, when the aircraft was weighed, 20 pounds of potable water were on board at +84, and 23 pounds of hydraulic fluid were in a tank located at +101. What is the empty weight CG of the aircraft?
- If a 40-pound generator applies +1400-inch pounds to a reference axis, the generator is located
- When an empty aircraft is weighed, the combined net weight at the main gears is 3,540 pounds with an arm of 195.5 inches. At the nose gear, the net weight is 2,322 pounds with an arm of 83.5 inches. The datum line is forward of the nose of the aircraft. What is the empty CG of the aircraft?
- When computing the maximum forward loaded CG of an aircraft, minimum weights, arms, and moments should be used for items of useful load that are located aft of the
