Question 64-23 : To the maximum allowable mass with the most forward cg to a low total mass with the most forward cg to a low total mass with the most aft cg to the maximum allowable mass with the most aft cg

A heavier aircraft needs to push more air downward to generate enough lift to maintain level flight to generate more lift you need to increase airspeed or angle of attack .at the same airspeed a heavier airplane will need a higher angle of attack to maintain level flight at the same angle of attack a heavier airplane will need a higher airspeed to maintain level flight thus stall speed is higher for a heavier airplane.the most forward the cg is the more down force the tail needs to generate to compensate and keep the airplane from pitching down this increased down force must be counteracted by increased lift from the wing that of course means an increase in angle of attack or airspeed = the stall speed increases exemple 252 to the maximum allowable mass with the most forward cg.to the maximum allowable mass with the most forward cg.

135000/120000 = 1 125.180 x square root of 1 125 = 191 kt..if speed increases drag increases thus for a same unit of fuel the air distance will be lesser exemple 292 increased to 191 kt, drag will increase and air distance per kg of fuel will decrease.increased to 191 kt, drag will increase and air distance per kg of fuel will decrease.

What are the effects of a cg in front of the forward limit .range ?

A forward cg means that the pitch down moment is high the elevator must provide a moment opposing this pitch down moment adding a high downward force to the weight of the aircraft which is then increased therefore the climb performance and ceiling will be decreased the increased drag of the elevator will cause a higher fuel consumption for a given airspeed thus decreasing range and endurance exemple 296 and absolute ceiling decrease.and absolute ceiling decrease.

Question 64-38 : Lower with a forward centre of gravity position independent from the centre of gravity position higher with a forward centre of gravity position lower with an aft centre of gravity position

With a forward cg the aircraft is 'nose heavy' it has a nose down moment thus the downforce on the tail on a steady flight must be increased .the total aircraft weight increases and therefore more weight = more drag = more power.the fuel mileage nautical miles per kg is lower with a forward centre of gravity position.example . with a aft cg fuel mileage = 10 nm for 100 kg . with a forward cg fuel mileage = only 8 nm for 100 kg exemple 312 lower with a forward centre of gravity position.lower with a forward centre of gravity position.
