  weight reduces climb performance. • Weight and Balance–Pilots who do not check center of gravity limits may experience difficulty trimming or controlling the aircraft, which could lead to a loss of control in-flight. Equipage The avionics and other equipment ... pilot workload. A pilot flying an aircraft in these conditions might consider aircraft without an autopilot an “A” hazard. • Inoperative Equipment–Inoperative equipment triggers an “A” hazard. For example, an inoperative landing light may make night operation more hazardous, even…
