PRE-SOLO KNOWLEDGE TEST Diamond Eclipse DA20-C1 Name Date 1 List the airspeeds and their definitions for your airplane. Airspeed Visual Indication on the Definition KIAS Airspeed Indicator (color) VSO VS1 VR VX T/O VX CRUISE VY T/O VY CRUISE VFE T/O VFE LND VA VNO VNE 2. Calculate the gross weight and Center of Gravity for this aircraft with the aircraft having full tanks and you as the pilot. WEIGHT AND BALANCE DIAMOND DA20-C1 N476DC Serial Number C0276 Weight x Arm = Moment 1. Empty Weight 1202.0 lbs. x8.34 in. = 10024.7 in lbs. 2. Pilot & Passenger x 5.63 in. = Center of Gravity= Total Moment Total Weight 3. Baggage (44lbs max) 4. Fuel (6.01 lbs/gal) x 32.44 in. = x 32.44 in. = Limits: Gross Weight: 1764 lbs. (Take off & Landing) (24 gal. usable) Center of Gravity: 7.95 in. – 12.48 in. 5. Total = 3 Fuel: Maximum capacity gallons, of which _ gallons is usable. Rate of fuel consumption _ gal/hr.
