Question
Please answer the following questions in a short answer paragraph format. Include at least 1 reference from source material for each answer (link to website preferred)
1.) Where is the aircraft aerodynamic center typically located during subsonic flight and what happens if the CG is behind the aircraft's aerodynamic center?
2.) What is the danger of calculating the Weight and Balance and determining that the CG is forward of the limit ? What can you do as Loadmaster or Pilot in Command to deal with this condition?
Explanation / Answer
1) Buoyancy force acts at the point of aerodynamic center of aircraft. So it will be in such a way that it lies above the center of gravity.
If Center of Gravity is behind the aerodynamic center then there is danger of turning craft.
In taking forward limit the aircraft has tendency to turn. In that condition we need to place more weight in opposite direction.
