1. The basic empty mass of an aircraft is 30 000 kg.

The masses of the following items are:


- catering: 300 kg
- safety and rescue material: nil
- fly away kit: nil
- crew (inclusive crew baggage): 365kg
- fuel at take-off: 3 000 kg
- unusable fuel: 120 kg
- passengers, baggage, cargo: 8 000 kg.
The Dry Operating Mass is:
a) 30 300 kg
b) 38 300 kg
c) 30 665 kg
d) 30 785 kg
2. The take-off mass of an aeroplane is 141000 kg. Total fuel on board is 63000 kg including
14000 kg reserve fuel and 1000 kg of unusable fuel. The traffic load is 12800 kg. The zero-
fuel mass is:
a) 78000 kg
b) 93000 kg
c) 65200 kg.
d) 79000 kg
3. 'Standard Mass' as used in the computation of passenger load establish the mass of a child
as
a) 35 kg irrespective of age provided they occupy a seat.
b) 35 kg only if they are over 2 years old and occupy a seat.
c) 35 kg for children over 2 years occupying a seat and 10 kg for infants (less than 2
years) not occupying a seat.
d) 35 kg for children over 2 years occupying a seat and 10 kg for infants (less than 2
years) occupying a seat.
4. The Maximum Zero Fuel Mass is the mass of the aeroplane with no usable fuel on board. It is
a limitation which is:
a) tabulated in the Flight Manual against arguments of airfield elevation and
temperature.
b) governed by the traffic load to be carried. It also provides protection from excessive
'wing bending'.
c) listed in the Flight Manual as a fixed value. It is a structural limit.
d) governed by the requirements of the centre of gravity limits and the structural limits
of the aeroplane.
5. On an aeroplane with a seating capacity of more than 30, it is decided to use standard mass
values for computing the total mass of passengers. If the flight is not a holiday charter, the
mass value which may be used for an adult is
a) 88 kg (male) 74 kg (female).
b) 84 kg
c) 76 kg
d) 84 kg (male) 76 kg (female).
6. The standard mass for a child is
a) 38 kg for all flights.
b) 35 kg for all flights.
c) 35 kg for holiday charters and 38 kg for all other flights.
d) 30 kg for holiday charters and 35 kg for all other flights.
7. On an aeroplane with 20 or more seats engaged on an inter-continental flight, the 'standard
mass' which may be used for passenger baggage is
a) 13 kg per passenger.
b) 14 kg per passenger.
c) 11 kg per passenger
d) 15 kg per passenger.
8. An aeroplane is performance limited to a landing mass of 54230 kg. The Dry Operating Mass
is 35000 kg and the zero-fuel mass is 52080 kg. If the take-off mass is 64280 kg the useful
load is
a) 29280 kg.
b) 17080 kg
c) 12200 kg.
d) 10080 kg.
9. An aeroplane's weighing schedule indicates that the empty mass is 57320 kg. The nominal
Dry Operating Mass is 60120 kg and the Maximum Zero Fuel Mass is given as 72100 kg.
Which of the following is a correct statement in relation to this aeroplane?
a) operational items have a mass of 2800 kg and the maximum useful load is 11980 kg.
b) operational items have a mass of 2800 kg and the maximum traffic load for this
aeroplane is 11980 kg.
c) operational items have a mass of 2800 kg and the maximum traffic load for this
aeroplane is 14780 kg.
d) operational items have a mass of 2800 kg and the maximum useful load is 14780 kg.
10. The empty mass of an aeroplane, as given in the weighing schedule, is 61300 kg. The
operational items (including crew) is given as a mass of 2300 kg. If the take off mass is
132000 kg (including a useable fuel quantity of 43800 kg) the useful load is
a) 70700 kg
b) 29600 kg
c) 26900 kg.
d) 68400 kg
11. The following data applies to an aeroplane which is about to take off:
Certified maximum take-off mass 141500 kg
Performance limited take-off mass 137300 kg
Dry Operating Mass 58400 kg
Crew and crew hand baggage mass 640 kg
Crew baggage in hold 110 kg
Fuel on board 60700 kg.
From this data calculate the mass of the useful load.
a) 17450 kg
b) 78900 kg
c) 78150 kg
d) 18200 kg
12. The Dry Operating Mass of an aircraft is 2 000 kg. The maximum take-off mass, landing and
zero fuel mass are identical at 3500 kg. The block fuel mass is 550kg, and the taxi fuel mass is
50 kg. The available mass of payload is:
a) 1 500 kg
b) 1 450 kg
c) 1 000 kg
d) 950 kg
