Question

practice weight and balance quiz: question 32 of 55
why is it generally necessary to jack an aircraft indoors for weighing?
a so aircraft may be placed in a level position.
b so that air currents do not destabilize the scales.
c so weighing scales may be calibrated to 0 pounds.

Explanation:

When weighing an aircraft, air currents outdoors can cause fluctuations in the scale readings. Indoor weighing helps avoid this issue as it provides a more stable environment without the interference of air currents. Option A is incorrect because an aircraft can be placed in a level position outdoors too. Option C is incorrect as calibrating scales to 0 pounds is a pre - weighing step that can be done anywhere, not specifically related to indoor jacking.

Answer:

B. So that air currents do not destabilize the scales.
