characteristics of the wing.
AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE & FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY
Demonstrated Crosswind
Velocity
Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of the
crosswind component for which adequate control of the
airplane can be maintained during takeoff and landing. The
value shown is not considered limiting.
G A unit of acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity at
the surface of the earth. The term is frequently used to
quantify additional forces exerted on the airplane and is
expressed as multiples of the basic gravitational force, e.g.,
a 1.7-g force.
GPH Gallons Per Hour is the quantity of fuel consumed in an
hour expressed in gallons.
Limit Load The maximum load a structure is designed to carry and the
factor of safety, is the percentage of limit load the structure
can actually carry before its ultimate load is reached. A
structure designed to carry a load of 1,000 pounds with a
safety factor of 1.5 has an ultimate load of 1,500 pounds.
The airplane can be damaged above limit load.
NMPG Nautical Miles per Gallon is the distance (in nautical
miles) which can be expected per gallon of fuel consume
d
at a specific power setting and/or flight configuration.
PPH Pounds Per Hour is the quantity of fuel consumed in an
hour expressed in pounds.
Unusable Fuel Unusable Fuel is the amount of fuel expressed in gallons
that cannot safely be used in flight. Unusable Fuel is the
fuel remaining after a runout test has been completed in
accordance with governmental regulations.
Ultimate Load The amount of load that can be applied to an aircraft
structure before it fails. The airplane can be damage
d
between limit and ultimate load, and it can fail
catastrophically above ultimate load.

Usable Fuel Usable Fuel is the quantity available that can safely be
used for flight planning purposes.
WEIGHT AND BALANCE
Arm The Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference
datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item.
Basic Empty Weight The Basic Empty Weight is the Standard Empty Weight
plus optional equipment.
CG The Center of Gravity is the point at which the airplane
will
b
alance if suspended. Its distance from the datum is
found by dividing the total moment by the total weight o
f
the airplane.
CG Arm The arm obtained by adding the individual moments of the
airplane and dividing the sum by the total weight.
CG Limits The extreme center of gravity locations within which the
airplane must be operated at a given weight.
Maximum Empty Weight This is the maximum allowable weight of the airplane
when empty, before fuel, passengers, and baggage are
added. Subtracting the minimum useful load from the
maximum gross weight produces the maximum empty
weight. The amount of additional equipment that can be
added to the airplane is determined by subtracting the
standard empty weight from the maximum empty weight.
See page 6-15 for an example.
Maximum Gross Weight The maximum loaded weight of an aircraft. Gross weight
includes the total weight of the aircraft, the weight of the
fuel and oil, and the weight of all the load it is carrying.
Maximum Landing Weight The maximum weight approved for landing touchdown.
Maximum Ramp Weight The maximum weight approved for ground maneuver. (It
includes the weight of the fuel used for startup, taxi, an
d
runup.)
Maximum Takeoff Weight The maximum weight approved for the start of the takeof
f
run.

Maximum Zero-Fuel Weight The maximum weight authorized for an aircraft that does not
include the weight of the fuel. This weight includes the basic
empty weight plus the weight of the passengers and baggage.
The maximum zero-fuel weight can change depending on the
center of gravity location. See Figure 2 - 4 for an example.
Minimum Flight Weight This is the minimum weight permitted for flight operations
and includes the basic empty weight plus fuel, pilot,
passengers, and baggage. The minimum flight weight can
change depending on the center of gravity location. See
Figure 2 - 4 for an example.
Minimum Useful Load For utility category airplanes, certified for night or IF
R
operations, a weight of 190 pounds for each installed seat
plus the fuel weight for 45 minutes at maximum continuous
power.
Moment The moment of a lever is the distance, in inches, between the
point at which a force is applied and the fulcrum, or the point
about which a lever rotates, multiplied by the force, in
pounds. Moment is expressed in inch-pounds.
Reference Datum This is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal
distances are measured for balance purposes.
Standard Empty Weight This is the weight of a standard airplane including unusable
fuel, full operating fluids, and full oil.
Station The Station is a location along the airplane's fuselage usually
given in terms of distance from the reference datum, i.e.,
Station 40 would be 40 inches from the reference datum.
Useful Load The Useful Load is the difference between Takeoff Weight o
r
Ramp Weight, if applicable, and Basic Empty Weight.
MISCELLANEOUS
Flight Time - Airplanes
Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its
own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the
aircraft comes to rest after landing.
Time in Service Time in service, with respect to maintenance time records,
means the time from the moment an aircraft leaves the
surface of the earth until it touches it at the next point o
f
landing.
