- Chapter 10: Weight and Balance
weight limitation compromises the structural integrity of an aircraft and adversely affects its performance. Operation with the center of gravity (CG) outside the approved limits results in control difficulty. As discussed in Chapter 5, Aerodynamics of Flight, weight ... body and the acceleration acting on the body. Weight is a major factor in aircraft construction and operation and demands respect from all pilots…
- Chapter 6: Weight and Balance › Balance › Center of Gravity
load the aircraft within the allowable CG range specified in the rotorcraft flight manual’s (RFM) weight and balance limitations. Loading outside approved limits can result in insufficient control travel for safe operation. Center of Gravity The pilot should ensure ... flight, except for any wind corrections. Since the fuselage acts as a pendulum suspended from the rotor, changing the CG changes the angle at which the aircraft hangs from the rotor. When the CG is directly under the rotor mast…
- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Stalls
allowed to be operated outside of the CG range, the pilot may have difficulty recovering from a stall. The most critical CG violation would occur when operating with a CG that exceeds the rear limit. In this situation, a pilot…
- Chapter 4: Small Unmanned Aircraft Loading › Load Factors › Load Factors and Stalling Speeds
weight limitation compromises the structural integrity of an aircraft and adversely affects its performance. Operation with the center of gravity (CG) outside the approved limits results in control difficulty. The aircraft’s weight and balance data is important information…
