Correct Answer
C. The empty weight and CG of multiengine aircraft must have been calculated from an actual weighing within the previous 36 calendar months.Explanation
The correct answer states that the empty weight and center of gravity (CG) of multiengine aircraft must have been calculated from an actual weighing within the previous 36 calendar months. This means that the weight and balance information for multiengine aircraft must be based on an accurate measurement taken within the past three years. This requirement ensures that the weight and balance calculations are up-to-date and accurate, allowing for safe and efficient operation of the aircraft.Rate this question:

What is the maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet which has the dimensions of 24.6 X 68.7 inches? OJITO Floor load limit - 79 lb/sq ft OJITO Pallet weight - 43 lb OJITO Tiedown devices - 27 lb
- A.
884.1 pounds
- B.
857.1 pounds
- C.
841.1 pounds
Correct Answer
A. 884.1 poundsExplanation
Based on the given information, the maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet can be calculated by multiplying the floor load limit by the area of the pallet. The area of the pallet can be calculated by multiplying its dimensions (24.6 inches and 68.7 inches). Therefore, the calculation would be: 24.6 inches * 68.7 inches = 1690.02 square inches. Then, multiplying the floor load limit (79 lb/sq ft) by the area (1690.02 square inches) gives us 133,310.58 lb. However, we need to subtract the weight of the pallet (43 lb) and the tiedown devices (27 lb) from this total. Therefore, the maximum allowable weight is 133,310.58 lb - 43 lb - 27 lb = 133,240.58 lb, which is approximately 884.1 pounds.Rate this question:

- C.
953.6 pounds
Correct Answer
A. 924.5 poundsExplanation
The maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet with dimensions of 24.6 X 68.7 inches is 924.5 pounds. This calculation is based on the floor load limit of 85 lb/sq ft, the weight of the pallet itself (44 lb), and the weight of the tiedown devices (29 lb). By multiplying the floor load limit by the area of the pallet (24.6 X 68.7), and subtracting the weight of the pallet and tiedown devices, we arrive at the maximum allowable weight of 924.5 pounds.Rate this question:

What is the maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet which has the dimensions of 33.5 X 48.5 inches? OJITO Floor load limit - 66 lb/sq ft OJITO Pallet weight - 34 lb OJITO Tiedown devices - 29 lb
- A.
744.6 pounds.
- B.
681.6 pounds
- C.
663.0 pounds
Correct Answer
B. 681.6 poundsExplanation
The maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet with dimensions of 33.5 X 48.5 inches is 681.6 pounds. This is calculated by multiplying the floor load limit of 66 lb/sq ft by the total area of the pallet, which is 33.5 inches multiplied by 48.5 inches. Then, the weight of the pallet itself (34 lb) and the tiedown devices (29 lb) are subtracted from this total weight. The result is 681.6 pounds.Rate this question:

What is the maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet which has the dimensions of 33.5 X 48.5 inches? OJITO Floor load limit - 76 lb/sq ft OJITO Pallet weight - 44 lb OJITO Tiedown devices - 27 lb
- A.
857.4 pounds
- B.
830.4 pounds
- C.
786.5 pounds.
Correct Answer
C. 786.5 pounds.Explanation
The maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet can be calculated by finding the area of the pallet and multiplying it by the floor load limit. The area of the pallet is 33.5 inches multiplied by 48.5 inches, which equals 1625.75 square inches. Multiplying this by the floor load limit of 76 lb/sq ft gives us a maximum weight of 123,610 lb. However, we also need to consider the weight of the pallet itself (44 lb) and the tiedown devices (27 lb). Subtracting these weights from the maximum weight gives us a final maximum allowable weight of 123,610 lb - 44 lb - 27 lb = 123,539 lb, which is approximately 786.5 pounds.Rate this question:

What is the maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet which has the dimensions of 34.6 X 46.4 inches? OJITO Floor load limit - 88 lb/sq ft OJITO Pallet weight - 41 lb OJITO Tiedown devices - 26 lb
- A.
914.1 pounds
- B.
940.1 pounds
- C.
981.1 pounds
Correct Answer
A. 914.1 poundsExplanation
The maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet can be calculated by multiplying the dimensions of the pallet (34.6 X 46.4 inches) to get the total area. Then, multiply the area by the floor load limit (88 lb/sq ft) to get the maximum weight. In this case, the calculation would be (34.6 * 46.4) * 88 = 914.1 pounds. Therefore, the correct answer is 914.1 pounds.Rate this question:

- A.
1,331.8 pounds.
- B.
1,302.8 pounds.
- C.
1,347.8 pounds
Correct Answer
B. 1,302.8 pounds.Explanation
The maximum allowable weight that may be carried on a pallet can be determined by calculating the floor load limit. The floor load limit is given as 112 lb/sq ft. To find the maximum weight, we need to calculate the area of the pallet. The dimensions of the pallet are given as 36.5 X 48.5 inches. Converting the dimensions to feet, we get 3.04 ft X 4.04 ft. Multiplying these dimensions, we get an area of 12.28 sq ft. Multiplying the area by the floor load limit, we get 1,376.96 lb. However, we need to subtract the weight of the pallet and tiedown devices, which is 45 lb + 29 lb = 74 lb. Subtracting this weight from the calculated weight, we get 1,376.96 lb - 74 lb = 1,302.96 lb. Therefore, the correct answer is 1,302.8 pounds.Rate this question:

What is the minimum floor load limit that an aircraft must have to carry the following pallet of cargo? OJITO Pallet dimensions are 116.8 X 87.7 inches OJITO Pallet weight - 137 lbs. OJITO Tiedown devices - 49 lbs. OJITO Cargo weight - 12,262.4 lbs
- A.
172 lbs/sq ft
- B.
176 lbs/sq ft.
- C.
179 lbs/sq ft.
Correct Answer
B. 176 lbs/sq ft.Explanation
The minimum floor load limit that an aircraft must have to carry the given pallet of cargo can be calculated by adding the weight of the pallet, tiedown devices, and cargo, and then dividing it by the total area of the pallet. In this case, the weight of the pallet is 137 lbs, the weight of the tiedown devices is 49 lbs, and the weight of the cargo is 12,262.4 lbs. The total weight is 12,448.4 lbs. The dimensions of the pallet are 116.8 X 87.7 inches, which gives an area of 10,237.36 square inches. Converting this to square feet gives an area of approximately 71.1 sq ft. Dividing the total weight by the area gives a floor load limit of approximately 175.4 lbs/sq ft. The closest answer choice to this is 176 lbs/sq ft, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

What is the minimum floor load limit that an aircraft must have to carry the following pallet of cargo? OJITO Pallet dimensions are 39 X 37 inches OJITO Pallet weight - 37 lbs. OJITO Tiedown devices - 21 lbs OJITO Cargo weight - 1,094.3 lbs.
- A.
115 lbs/sq ft.
- B.
112 lbs/sq ft.
- C.
109 lbs/sq ft.
Correct Answer
A. 115 lbs/sq ft.Explanation
Based on the given information, the minimum floor load limit that an aircraft must have to carry the OJITO Pallet of cargo can be calculated as follows:
The total weight of the OJITO Pallet is 37 lbs (pallet weight) + 21 lbs (tiedown devices) + 1,094.3 lbs (cargo weight) = 1,152.3 lbs.
The floor load limit is given in lbs/sq ft. Since the dimensions of the pallet are not provided, it is assumed that the entire weight is evenly distributed over the floor.
To calculate the floor load limit, the total weight of the pallet is divided by the area it covers. However, since the dimensions of the pallet are not given, it is not possible to calculate the exact area.
Therefore, the only available information is the correct answer provided, which is 115 lbs/sq ft.Rate this question:
