Title: Explain the necessity for aircraft weight and balance procedures.
Course: Aviation Maintenance Technology II (20114-II) > Section: Demonstrating Aircraft Weight and Balance Procedures

Explanation should include the following:

- Aircraft weight and balance are critical to flight safety.
- Procedures rely on understanding how the force of gravity affects an aircraft in various flight conditions.
- The distribution of weight in/on an airplane must be balanced to create stability and allow the aircraft to be controlled in flight.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is aircraft balance so important?
- How does an airplane’s weight affect its balance?
