Which of the following are PIC responsibilities?

• A. Ensuring the actual computation of 365-4.
• B. Making sure it is on board.
• C. Making sure the aircraft remains within CG limits for the entire flight.
• D. All of the above.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that the PIC is responsible for handling weight and balance for the flight from start to finish. This includes making sure the weight and balance data are correct, that the data or calculation is actually used and available, and that the aircraft stays within the approved CG limits for the entire flight.

First, the PIC must ensure the weight and balance is computed accurately. This can be done by performing the calculation themselves or verifying that someone else has done it correctly. The numbers determine how the airplane will perform and behave in the air, so accuracy is essential.

Second, the PIC must ensure that the weight and balance information is on board. Without the data, there’s no way to confirm that loading is within limits or to refer to the chart or worksheet during loading or preflight checks.

Third, the PIC must ensure the aircraft remains within CG limits throughout the flight. That means checking the loading before takeoff and monitoring or adjusting as fuel is burned and payload changes, so the airplane remains controllable and within approved performance.

Because all of these responsibilities fall under the PIC, the correct answer is that all of the above apply.
