Which statement about gust loads is TRUE?

  • A.A heavily loaded aircraft experiences the larger increment
  • B.Wing loading has no bearing on the gust increment
  • C.Gusts affect only the fuselage
  • D.A light aircraft feels the larger increment

Answer: D

The gust increment is inversely proportional to wing loading, so the same gust produces a larger load factor on a light aircraft. It follows that the gust envelope must be checked at light weight as well as heavy, since the critical case is not always the heaviest.
