2.1Loading
2.1.1Describe the following terms:
(a)arm, moment, datum, station, index unit;(b)centre of gravity (CG) and CG limits;(c)empty weight, zero fuel weight (ZFW), ramp weight;(d)maximum take-off and maximum landing weights;(e)floor loading limits.
2.2.1Explain the following terms/abbreviations:
(a)normal operating speed (Vno);(b)never exceed speed (VNE);(c)maximum manoeuvre speed (VA);(d)turbulence penetration speed (VB);(e)limit and design load factors;(f)flap operating speed (VFO) and flap extended speed (VFE).
2.1.2Explain and apply the following terms used in CASA publications and documents:
(b)take-off distance available (TODA);5.3.2Calculate time and distance to an ETP or PNR between 2 points, using planned or given data.
4.2.3Given appropriate data use a typical loading system or a load sheet to distribute load to maintain CG within limits throughout a flight. This objective requires the ability to perform 1 or more of the following tasks:
(b)determine the following:
(i)maximum payload;(ii)maximum load per station;(iii)maximum floor loading capacities;(iv)fore and aft CG limits for a given/derived weight;(v)weight of fuel/ballast to be carried;(c)determine the following:
(i)the maximum payload/fuel that may be carried;(ii)ballast requirements, if any;(iii)the position of the CG under different load configurations.
3.1.1From typical charts or tables, determine the following data for climb, cruise and descent:
(d)the conditions under which an aeroplane will achieve maximum range and endurance.
2.2.2Given a typical flight scenario, for the items mentioned in subsection 2.2.3, use performance charts to extract the following:
(c)take-off distance required (TODR);
