Good luck!

1. 1) You're at an airport with a field elevation of 5,000' MSL. The temperature is ISA +5 degrees C. How warm is it on the ramp?

   ISA at sea level is 15 degrees C. But since you're at 5,000' MSL, you need to subtract 2 degrees per 1,000' for ISA. ISA on the ramp is 5 degrees C in this case. Since it's currently ISA +5, the temperature is 10 degrees C.

2. 2) An aircraft with an aft CG requires _______ and is _______ than the same aircraft with a forward CG.

   An aft CG requires less tail-down force. Because of that, the aircraft produces less drag, and has better performance. However, an aircraft with an aft CG is also less stable.
