THE AEROPLANE MASS AND BALANCE AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR OF THE FLIGHT SAFETY

Michal Rokonal, Jan Balint

Abstract


The balancing aircraft is a very broad topic. Because in this diploma thesis it is not possible to disassemble the whole issue, therefore content of the work focuses on a selected portion of the field of balancing. The first part discusses the various factors affecting weight and balance of aircraft and describes the procedures and processes to ensure the balance of the aircraft. The core thesis describes a specific proposal for solution of enlisted passengers on board of the aircraft to achieve the most ideal balance. In conclusion, the results of the calculations are assessed and the specific cases of air accident importance of this area of air traffic are demonstrated.
