The velocity of the crosswind component for
which adequate control of the airplane
during takeoff and landing was actually
demonstrated during certification tests. The
value shown is not limiting.
U.S. Gallons per hour.
A part of a route. Each end of that part is
identified by: (1) A geographical location; or
(2) A point at which a definite radio fix can
be established.
The point at which an airplane would
balance if suspended. Its distance from the
reference datum is found by dividing the
total moment by the total weight of the
airplane.
The horizontal distance from the reference
datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an
item.
The weight of an empty airplane including
full engine oil and unusable fuel. This
equals empty weight plus the weight of
unusable fuel, and the weight of all the
engine oil required to fill the lines and tanks.
Basic empty
configuration from which loading data is
determined.
The arm obtained by adding the airplane's
individual moments and dividing by the sum
of the total weight.
The extreme center of gravity locations
within which the airplane must be operated
at a given weight.
