Aircraft Weight and Balance Part 1

Really helpful, My instructor went through this like a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport; 267 mph, 0-60 in 2.2 seconds... i  did not  get it at all .... Thanks Man god Bless .

I agree, the lesson would be more understandable if it started with a general description. Here is the scoop. ARM: the length between a datum point and the weight (such as gas in a tank or a passenger). Datum point: An arbitrary point selected by the A/C manufacturer. It is commonly the firewall for light aircraft. You don't need to know where it is because the POH delineates the ARM length for each weight in the A/C. Moment: The ARM x the Weight. The units for Moment is inch-pounds.

thank you so much for the wonderfull video, am a ground operator at Frankfurt Airport Germany, it helps me so much understanding the weight and balance

Great job explaining weight and balance😀 thank you, it's a huge help😄

[AlvinDuCarri]

i like how you explain everything it is very useful

[KarimLaaiadiVlogs]

Useful lesson keep it up bro, Please just one question what do Arm & Moment refer to ? I mean what do they actually mean ?

[soundstream]

Thank you so much for all this info. I followed along and got the hang of it before the end of the chart. Ill be taking my Oral and practical tests for the A/P license Monday and weight and balance was something I was worried about but feeling better now.

hi I was wondering how did you get 48.1 c.g for usable fuel when the PHO states clearly 40.0. I just don't get it. can you clarify? Thanks. I'm strongly considering taking your on line course. thanks

just so I'm understanding this correctly... the only purpose for the moment is to solve for the missing arm? or does the moment serve another purpose? thanks for the video!

Oops! The A/C empty weight, arm and moment DOES NOT come out of the POH. The POH does not have information about what equipment (radios, aux. tanks, etc.) are specific to a particular A/C. The empty A/C data is printed on the AC37 form that is, by regulation, carried in the A/C. Anytime on board equipment is installed/removed a mechanic must change the AC37 form so you (the pilot) knows the data for the specific A/C you are flying

How did you get the 2106 landing weight

You also have to worry about GTOW MTOW, and also ZFW, and thats not including Pax and bags

can you do an example video using pa28-161....

How do you find the basic empty weight arm?! I'm looking all over my 1978 c172 POH and I can't find it.

[ejejej]

Is this what a flight load controller do? this kind of calculations?

[danbaltizar]

Great vid. Now I am asked what is my take off CG aft of datum in inches and landing How do I get those two. Hmmmm :/ why is learning to fly so darn difficult.
