Embry Riddle Aeronautical University The Cessna 172-Weight and Balance Presentation

0 comments

For your selected project aircraft, create an instructional presentation that details the weight and balance of your selected aircraft.

From the provided resources, find and diagram the allowable center of gravity (CG) range for your aircraft and explain how passenger and/or fuel loading would affect the CG.

Then, compile your entire aircraft documentation into a presentation format, utilizing a presentation tool of your choice The goal of the presentation is to inform a new owner/operator of your selected aircraft about the specific performance characteristics that you analyzed throughout this project. So, make sure to properly instruct your audience on how the provided data is applicable to the intended flight operations. Once completed, upload your presentation in the designated area. Then, each student individually reviews at least two of the other teams’ presentations and provides commenting and reflection.

Again, the emphasis in this project task is on explaining your methodology as if you attempted to instruct someone unfamiliar with the aerodynamic details and relationships. Therefore, make sure to detail all assumptions, all formulas used, and all steps that were taken.

As previously, you are encouraged to utilize appropriate computational software such as Excel® or MatLab®.

  • Your presentation is due by the last day of the module and should be created using Powerpoint or the presentation platform of your choice.
  • Your instructor will provide feedback on your presentation and allow the opportunity to fix any errors and resubmit for a better grade.
  • The aircraft for my continued project is the cessna 172
