Determine the Take-off Mass for the following single engine aeroplane. Given:

Basic Empty Mass: 1799 lb
Pilot + Front seat passenger: 300 lb
Cargo Mass: 350 lb
Ramp Fuel = Block Fuel: 60 Gal
Trip Fuel: 35 Gal
Fuel Density: 6 lb/Gal
Taxi Fuel: 10 lb

  • A
    2809 lb
  • B
    2449 lb
  • C
    2534 lb
  • D
    2799 lb

Take-off mass = Basic Empty Mass + Crew + traffic load + take-off fuel
Take-off fuel = block off fuel - taxi fuel

(in this question only taxi fuel is given in pounds)

Convert block-off fuel volume to mass:
60 Gallon = 60 x 6 = 360 lb
Take-off fuel = block off fuel - taxi fuel
Take-off fuel = 360 - 10 = 350 lb

Take-off mass = 1799 + 300 + 350 + 350 = 2799 lb
