What is a potential risk if the center of gravity is too far aft on an aircraft?

The aircraft will have difficulty recovering from a stalled position
The aircraft will not be able to maintain a constant turn
The aircraft will have increased airspeed
The aircraft will experience reduced lift

The correct answer is: The aircraft will have difficulty recovering from a stalled position

When the center of gravity of an aircraft is positioned too far aft, one of the primary risks involved is difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition. An aft center of gravity can lead to a destabilized attitude during flight, especially when the aircraft enters a stall. In a stall, the airflow over the wings is disrupted, and recovery techniques often require the pilot to increase the angle of attack to regain lift. However, with an aft center of gravity, increasing the angle of attack can exacerbate the stall condition, making it challenging to recover as the aircraft may not respond effectively to control inputs. This instability can lead to a loss of control, making it crucial for pilots to maintain proper weight distribution to ensure safe maneuverability and recovery from stalls.
