Chapter 3 FlightStar Operations Manual (81-100) Flashcards
(25 cards)
Light Chop
Slight, rapid, and somewhat rhythmic bumpiness occurs.
Light Turbulence
Momentary, slight erratic changes in altitude or attitude occur.
Moderate Chop
Rapid bumps or jolts without changes in altitude or attitude
Moderate Turbulence
Changes in altitude and/or attitude occur, but positive control is maintained
Severe Turbulence
Large, abrupt changes in altitude and/or attitude, aircraft control may be lost momentarily
Extreme Turbulence
Aircraft violently tossed about. Practically impossible to control. May cause structural damage.
Occasional
Intermittent
Continuous
Less than 1/3 of the time

What factors should be taken into account when determining maximum allowable takeoff weight? (5 items)
- Airport pressure altitude
- Temperature at the airport
- Surface winds
- Runway conditions and gradient
- Obstructions in the flight path
Arm
Horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity
Basic empty weight
Standard empty weight plus optional equipment
Basic operating weight
Basic empty weight plus operational items. Operational items:
- Crew necessary to operate the aircraft
- Equipment and supplies necessary to operate the aircraft.
Center of gravity
The point at which the plane would balance if suspended.
CG arm
Moments/weight
CG limits
the extreme center of gravity locations within which the aircraft must be operated
Maximum landing weight
Is the maximum weight approved for the landing configuration
Maximum takeoff weight
Is the maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff run
Maximum ramp weight
Is the maximum weight approved for ground maneuvering
Maximum zero fuel weight
Is the maximum weight excluding usable fuel
Moment
Weight x Arm
