Title: Explain center of gravity (CG) as it relates to aircraft.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Explaining the Aerodynamics of Flight

Explanation should include the significance of an aircraft’s CG when in flight:

- Compliance with the weight and balance limits of any airplane is critical to flight safety.
- Operating an airplane above the maximum weight limitation compromises the structural integrity of the airplane and adversely affects its flight performance.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why must pilots pay special attention to the weight and balance limits of an aircraft?
