Question 1.

The shift to the left is OK but you do not appear to have reduced the total mass to account for the reduced passenger numbers.

If you do thsi does it get you closer to the correct answer?

Question 2.

To shift CG from 32% to 34% we need to move cargo aft, so only options B and D can possibly be correct.

The diagram is too small to see clearly on my computer screen.

Test 1. Go to Hold 1 in the digram and measure hove far to the left the line will move when you take out 500 kg and 1000 kg.

Test 2. Go into hold 4 and mesure haw far to the right the line will move if you put in 1000 kg (option B).

Test 3. Go into hold 3 and mesaure how far the line will move to teh right when you load 500 kg (Option D)

Add together the distances at Tests 1 and 2. Then apply the shift to the bottom of the graph. If thsi gives you 34% then option B is correct.

Add together the shifts at Tests 1 and 3. Then apply the shift at the bottom of the graph. If this gives you 34% then option D is correct.

Question 3.

Adding together all of the passengers and their bags givesa total mass of 10060 kg.

The Load Trim sheet show a total Traffic Load of 10320 kg.

Subtracting 10060 from 10320 gives 260 kg.

I hope taht all of thsi makes sense. I am a bit short of time at the moment.
