  • m0a.com There are plenty of apps that can do this for us instantly. Yet on a checkride chances are your examiner is going to want to see you do it the old fashioned way so you can show your work. In this video I show you how to fill out a weight and balance form.

    Excellent! Simple to follow..as an 71 yr old "student pilot" I need all the help I can get. YOU TUBE is a great source of pilot training information. It is a great follow up to any ground school or even flight training event. These videos allow you to observe,stop and think and absorb. They make the learning process a lot easier!!!! Thank you Jason and others for taking the time and effort to put these invaluable tools together.....Pete Warenski

      @@billt3561And you both inspire me. I am 43 years old and I was on and off due to financial situations but I never stop thinking about getting it. I get back sometime this month but I will need to repeat the maneuvers for the check ride preparation. Hopefully things goes well to all of us. Happy holidays to you future pilots…

IMHO: ...Though you didn't specify, or clarify it, I will assume that the chart showing the aircraft's specific "Center of Gravity Moment Envelope", MUST be established and provided by, the particular aircraft manufacturer, for that specific model of aircraft, and, that it is to by abided by, strictly, without any allowance for "being close enough", and if in doubt, that it is the PILOT'S responsibility to KNOW if that flight is operating WITHIN the "SAFE" envelope!...?!....

If the pilot weight 180, and the rear passenger 204 LB moved to the front prior to landing, the total weight is 2690 LB and the total M/100 2260 just prior to the passenger moving and they post figure 10.9 found in the pilot handbook of aeronautical knowledge Thanks Oz

    So what have we learned? A great explanation of how to do the sums. But I am curious as to what they mean. Basically you end up with 2 numbers: loaded weight and loaded moment. Don't we want to know the distance between centre of gravity and centre of pressure, or the torque effect between the two?
