Mass & Balance-Performance questions
Hi There!
I'm undertook to do a bit of studies to refresh my knowledge while seated at home looking for a job,i elected to use OXFORD Books which i've got some.So i'm now busy on the Flight Planing and performance and my question concerns the DATUM.While Datum is determined by manufacturers i'm having some troubles when it comes to resolving questions dealing with Datum.On many examples they've drawned in the book the Datum to illustrate them.I myself don't exactly know where to draw the datum to start with when solving some questions.I'll give u an example and u help me sort it out
An aircraft has a MAC of 82 inches.The leading edge of the MAC is 103 inches aft of the datum.If the CG position is 14.7% MAC,what is the CG distance from the datum?
Any help is appreciated
