You did pick really tricky questions Jon, thanks. I don’t like questions using charts that require precision but aren’t precise to the point of the requirements. Like the Figures 34 and moment calculations. There is one impossible question with these 3 options: 81.4, 79.2 and 81.0. That is a killer. Better to memorize that answer...

I recently got my private too. What I'm doing / planning on doing is use anki to keep this fresh forever. I made flash cards when I was studying for the test but you can just add cards whenever you come across something you don't remember. The app helps remind you at spaced intervals that get longer and longer. My hope is that by doing so all the necessary knowledge will become almost as permanent as knowing left and right apart :) just an idea.

[@yelenakozenkova5867]

I'm still confused on the 500 pound CG question. Why do you multiply 200lb by 15in? Isn't the WHOLE plank 200lbs and 90in in total length, 30in on the left side of the fulcrum and 60in on the right side? So, wouldn't we need to distribute the weight of the plank proportionately between the two sides instead of putting all 200lbs on the right? Thanks for all the content you share by the way. Great video to prep for the written! Love your videos!

[@johnopalko5223]

Because the center of gravity of the plank is 15 inches from the fulcrum. The nice thing about these calculations is you don't have to worry about how big something is, what its shape is, or whether or not it's the same density throughout. You assume all its mass is concentrated at one point.

[@mkostrub]

Mechanical engineer here, yes that is correct. The weight is distributed evenly along the plank, 200lb/90in, ~2.22 lb/in. The resultant force due to gravity, however, acts at the center of gravity, so you'd take the entire weight at the CG. You could split it up and have 66.7lb (2.22lb/inx30in)on the left at CG -15in (1000) and 133.3lb (2.22lb/inx60in) on the right at CG +30in (4000), but they'll still add up to 3000 at CG +15in. The engineer designing the plane should know weight and balance to this level of detail, but it's beyond the scope of what pilots need to know. It saves you work when they give you the CG! Hope that helps!

[@flemmingstelling8079]

@ 9:15 - thats 32F is equal to 0 Centigrade (freezing) and 59F is equal to 15 Centigrade in std atmosphere - only 2 conversions any pilot must know by heart really !

[@tonypotter3680]

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit Cx2-10%+32=F ( 15x2=30-3=27+32=59 ) did it in my head a lot when I was a Controller.

[@JETZcorp]

The E6B question was easy without one, at least in multiple choice format. You're going very close to 100kts, for almost a quarter of an hour. So that's 25nm, minus a bit for being a hair slower for a few seconds less. You definitely wouldn't be more than 25, and definitely wouldn't be like 30% less either.

[@jab2able]

The response to question number3 is very frustrating. The presenter only tells the answer but does not point out on the written supplement where the information is located. The need is absolute because the wrong interpretation of information will set the student up for future failure because of not knowing the proper information.

[@Pilinchi1]

Good video but I am still trying to figure out the CG problem. I understand the problem solving but I have a hard time reason the image.

[@mkostrub]

Everything on the left side of the fulcrum wants to rotate the plank counterclockwise and everything on the right side of the fulcrum wants to rotate the plank clockwise. The plank has objects on top of it on both sides of the fulcrum, plus the plank is off-center. The numbers you write down are the weight multiplied by the distance of the fulcrum to the CG of each object. So you try to make everything on the left of the fulcrum equal to everything on the right of the fulcrum. Because you're going to move the 500lb object on the left, you pretend like you don't know how far its CG is from the fulcrum. X is that unknown distance. Then make that equal to everything on the left. 500x=250lb x 20in + 200lb x 15in. Then solve the equation for x.
