Mass and balance question
Wrote the M&B ATPL exam yesterday, scoring 73% =(
I'm trying to convince the CAA to approve one of my complaints on a specific question, and would like the forum members to have their opinion in it.
Question:
"For the purpose of completing Mass and balance documentation, Operating mass can be said to be Dry operating mass plus:
A. Ramp fuel
B. Take off fuel
C. Trip fuel
D. Ramp fuel, less APU and start-up fuel
Correct answer is stated as B, whilst I answered A.
The CAP manual states Operating mass to be DOM + fuel but without traffic load. So the question is what fuel is it? =)
Couldn't find anything in JAR-OPS confirming any of the three answers...
Crossing my fingers!
