Assertion (A): The forward and aft centre of gravity limits arise from different physics.

Reason (R): One is set by elevator power and the other by the minimum acceptable static margin.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the second states exactly the difference the first asserts. The aft limit is a stability limit, protecting a minimum static margin so that the aeroplane still returns from a disturbance. The forward limit is a control limit, protecting the elevator\'s ability to produce a nose-up moment at low speed. They come from different equations, they are checked against different conditions, and they can be violated in quite different ways.
