|---|
| 154 | 184 | #### Explanation |
|---|
| 155 | 185 | |
|---|
| 156 | | -The correct answer is B. The center of gravity is the mass-weighted average position of all individual mass elements — the point where the total weight force is considered to act. It is found by summing all moments about the datum and dividing by total mass. |
|---|
| 186 | +The **centre of gravity (CG)** is the single point where the total weight of the aircraft is considered to act. It is the mass-weighted average position of all components — the balance point. |
|---|
| 157 | 187 | |
|---|
| 158 | | -- **A** is wrong because the C.G. is not a "heaviest point" but a balance point. |
|---|
| 159 | | -- **C** is wrong because the neutral point is a separate aerodynamic concept relating to stability. |
|---|
| 160 | | -- **D** duplicates one of the other options and does not correctly define C.G. either. |
|---|
| 188 | +- **A (neutral point)** is an aerodynamic stability reference: the point about which the pitching moment coefficient does not change with angle of attack. It is NOT where weight acts. |
|---|
| 189 | +- **C (centre of pressure)** is where the resultant aerodynamic lift force acts — it moves with angle of attack. |
|---|
| 190 | +- **D (point of resistance)** is where the resultant drag force acts. |
|---|
| 191 | + |
|---|
| 192 | +The CG must remain within defined limits for safe flight. If it moves too far forward, the glider becomes nose-heavy and hard to flare; too far aft, it becomes unstable. |

|---|
| 744 | 877 | - **A** is wrong because increasing wing loading raises the stall speed. |

|---|

|---|
| .. | .. |
|---|
| 784 | 929 | The correct answer is C because the maximum seat load is a certification limit that cannot be circumvented. Exceeding it may place the C.G. outside the forward limit and subjects the structure to loads beyond what was tested. The only remedy is to reduce the payload until the limits are respected. A and B are wrong because trimming changes the aerodynamic forces on the elevator but does not alter the aircraft's mass or C.G. position. |
|---|
| 785 | 930 | |
|---|
| 786 | 931 | - **D** is wrong because reducing water ballast changes total mass but does not address the specific seat load limitation. |

|---|
| .. | .. |
|---|
| 1677 | 1992 | The correct answer is D because when the maximum permitted payload is exceeded, the only correct action is to reduce the payload until it complies with the limit. The maximum payload is a certification limit based on structural strength and C.G. envelope. A and C are wrong because trimming adjusts aerodynamic forces on the tail but does not change the aircraft's mass or C.G. — it cannot make an overloaded aircraft safe. |
|---|
| 1678 | 1993 | |
|---|
| 1679 | 1994 | - **B** is wrong because increasing takeoff speed does not solve an overweight condition and may actually overstress the structure further. |

| 2668 | 3164 | The correct answer is C because the folded front page of the Swiss gliding map specifies that aeronautical safety information (airspaces, restrictions, obstacles) is depicted up to 5950 m AMSL. Above this limit, the glider is beyond the practical Swiss gliding airspace, and other publications (AIP, special charts) would be required. |

| 2683 | 3185 | #### Explanation |
|---|
| 2684 | 3186 | |
|---|
| 2685 | 3187 | The correct answer is A because for a cross-country flight, the true track (TT) is first drawn directly on the chart, measured relative to true north. This TT is the basis for all navigation planning: it is then corrected for magnetic variation to obtain the magnetic heading, then for deviation to obtain the compass heading. Without the TT noted on the chart, subsequent corrections cannot be made. |

| .. | .. |
|---|
| 2746 | 3266 | |
|---|
| 2747 | 3267 | The correct answer is B because the green dotted line on the Swiss gliding map marks the conventional boundary between the thermal and topographic regions of the Plateau/Jura on one side and the Alps on the other. This distinction is important for planning: soaring conditions, airspaces, and instrument cloud-flying rules differ significantly on either side of this line. |

| 2762 | 3288 | #### Explanation |
|---|
| 2763 | 3289 | |
|---|
| 2764 | 3290 | The correct answer is A because in severe turbulence, the pilot must maintain speed within the green arc (normal operating range). The green arc corresponds to the normal operating speed range for which the structure is certified even during turbulence. Flying in the yellow arc (caution range) is prohibited in turbulent air; extending spoilers would change the polar and could be hazardous. |

| 2825 | 3369 | #### Explanation |
|---|
| 2826 | 3370 | |
|---|
| 2827 | 3371 | The correct answer is B because the center of gravity is the resultant of all masses and their positions (moment arms). If a load (baggage, water ballast, pilot) shifts forward or rearward, the sum of moments changes, which displaces the CG. The angle of incidence (A and C) has no effect on the CG. The center of pressure (D) may shift with angle of attack but does not displace the CG. |

|---|
| .. | .. |
|---|
| 2843 | 3393 | |
|---|
| 2844 | 3394 | The correct answer is D because with a CG at the extreme aft limit, longitudinal static stability is at its minimum. Any speed change or disturbance is no longer automatically compensated, the glider becomes difficult to control in pitch, and in the worst case can enter divergent oscillations or an uncontrollable stall/spin. The law prohibits exceeding the limit, but the actual physical reason is pitch instability. |

| 2859 | 3415 | #### Explanation |
|---|
| 2860 | 3416 | |
|---|
| 2861 | 3417 | The correct answer is C because the maneuvering speed V(A) is the maximum speed below which gusts and full control deflections will not overstress the structure: if an excessive load factor is generated, the wing will stall before being damaged. Above V(A), severe gusts can generate load factors exceeding structural limits. Flying below V(A) in turbulence is therefore the only safe procedure. |

| 2878 | 3440 | The correct answer is A because V(A), the maneuvering speed, is defined precisely as the maximum speed at which full control deflections cannot damage the structure: below V(A), a stall occurs before the structural load limits are exceeded. Above V(A), an abrupt or full control input can generate load factors that exceed the certified structural limits and cause damage. |

|---|
| 2894 | 3462 | |
|---|
| 2895 | 3463 | The correct answer is B because water ballast is an additional mass placed at a specific moment arm (typically in the wings). Its addition shifts the CG. It is therefore necessary to verify, with the total mass and pilot position, that the resulting CG remains within the forward and aft limits stated in the flight manual (AFM). Exceeding the aft limit would make the glider unstable; exceeding the forward limit would overload elevator authority on landing. |

| 2977 | 3569 | - Flight time: t = 17:42 − 17:21 = 21 min = 0.35 h |
|---|
| 2978 | 3570 | - Ground speed: v = d / t = 46.5 km / 0.35 h ≈ 133 km/h ≈ 130 km/h |

| 3017 | 3621 | |

| 3018 | 3622 | The correct answer is B because KOSIF (Koordinationsstelle fur flugbeschränkende Massnahmen der Armee) is the official Swiss publication listing military activities (artillery firing, exercises) that may temporarily restrict or prohibit airspace. GAFOR is a visual flight forecast for Alpine passes, SIGMET concerns dangerous meteorological phenomena, and GAMET is a low-altitude meteorological forecast. |

| 3033 | 3643 | #### Explanation |
|---|
| 3034 | 3644 | |
|---|
| 3035 | 3645 | The correct answer is C because the Swiss VFR manual (AIP VFR Switzerland), in its MAP chapter (aerodrome charts), contains detailed information about each aerodrome: frequencies, procedures, runway lengths, available services, opening hours, etc. The ICAO chart provides an overview but not operational details. The air traffic manual and aviation law cover other aspects. |

| 3071 | 3693 | #### Explanation |
|---|
| 3072 | 3694 | |
|---|
| 3073 | 3695 | The correct answer is C because the Swiss VFR guide (AIP VFR Switzerland) contains tables of sunrise and sunset times, as well as legal definitions of the boundaries between aeronautical day and night (civil twilight). This information is essential for complying with VFR night-flying restrictions. The ICAO chart does not contain these time-related data; aviation law defines the rules but not the specific times. |
