Question

An aircraft is loaded 110 pounds over maximum certificated gross weight. If fuel (gasoline) is drained to bring the aircraft weight within limits, how much fuel should be drained?

Answer 1

242 lts de fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

We know density of fuel (is variable) but we can say that is close to 1 Kg/lts.

If we have 110 pounds over maximun certificated gross weight, we need to get rid of that 110 pounds or 110 * 2.2 = 242 Kgs

Now by rule of three

If 1 lt weight 1 kg.

x 242 kgs

x = 242 lts de fuel
