Yes, you shouldn't swap seats without asking cabin crew. But it does not mean the aircraft will have balance issues, a long as you move forward and back and stay in the same side of the aircraft, pilots won't have a problem correcting the balance by trimming the aircraft. (Trim is basically what elevator attitude the plane has, if it is trimmed positively the plane will have an easier time taking off, so if the weight changes in the cabin all that pilots will do is from the aircraft.)
The FAA accounts for 180 lbs per seat and it is calculated into the weight and balance of the aircraft. That’s why they don’t weigh passengers. Moving seats in an airliner will NOT cause an imbalance great enough to cause any issue. If your in a small plane 4 to 6 seats it is more critical.
I'm an aerospace engineer, and trust me that doesn't matter at all, because there are autopilots that accomodate such changes in aerodynamic centre. Feel free to change seats and move around. It won't be a very big problem until and unless all passengers start running around edges of the aircraft. It will be sudden and confuse the autopilot🚀✨
As a former "cabin crew member", I was a flight attendant for many years - I NEVER once heard that passengers shouldn't change seats. Never heard it in training, and they were very thorough and I never heard it from a pilot. I did it all the time when I was flew as a passenger and no one ever said anything to me.
Not sure how they “balance” the passenger weight on a plane when you can check in online and choose your own seat. They don’t ask for your height and weight before you do this. I call BS.
Mr MHod- I get that they can calculate where the weight is balanced but how can they control where people choose to select their seats? The only thing they really have control of is how to balance baggage weight against the estimated passenger weight distribution.
the only times we have ever had to give our weight was on a helicopter flight and a small airplane with about 20 seats and then we were individually told where to sit so that it was balanced evenly.
They can calculate it by the information they have. They know which gender, how tall you are, where you come from and what your age is. For everything they could have some standardized weights and can know how the weight will be distributed in the plane but with some calculated variations of course
We actually swapped seats upon requirement...me, mum, papa and my elder brother were traveling. Tickets were booked together for mum and papa and separately for me n my bhaiya. So We all got far away seats from each other i got the window one and so asked the person in the middle if he can swap seat with bhaiya and he agreed n told, okay we have to discuss it with attendant too. And she also allowed. It was my first ever flight. I was so happy. Thanks to that kind man!😇❤️
“The more prepared you are the less likely it is going to happen” works for this case but not all the time like when you’re prepared for your test and it is less likely to happen u will pass.
Who knows. I don't know what they're thinking lol I only wondered if they informed the pilots first before they do something like this cos it's dangerous. That being said, I feel lucky.

Thank you for this video, this makes me feel more safe about getting on a plane for the first time in years to fly from Georgia to illinois to she my father's side of the family every summer as i mainly live with my mother.

I have been studying aviation for a year. A planes center of gravity is calculated by the total weight of all the numbers of the passagers and cargo in the back. The max payload is at 55000lbs. So switching your seat wouldn't change a thing
I thought the switching seat notification rule was so that if there was an accident, they would be able to identify bodies based off of the seating chart 🤔
Exactly that's one reason but this video is a lie simply if weight is an issue in terms of sitting on the Abe they would have asked for your weight in order to choose a seat for u it's simple not true that changing a seat can lead to unbalance weight issue on the plane 😂😂😂
I always fly Southwest - no assigned seats so you can sit where you want depending on your boarding order.

That's right. And on Southwest, if you fly a longer distance with one or two stops, people get off and there's do determining where the remaining people are sitting as the flight continues to its next destination. Likewise the flight attendants always tell you after you land at an intermediate stop that you can change your seat location after they do a headcount. Sometimes they will ask a few people to move to the back, but that's about it.

Seat changes are usually only risky if you move more than several rows, and depends a lot on how heavy the aircraft is. On a small aircraft like a 15 seat seaplane, you'll often be asked to change seats to get a better balance. On larger aircraft with a high payload, an individual seat change is rarely enough to tip the balance off (partly because everything is planned to keep the CoG around the center so there's more room for inaccuracies.) Also, the whole thing is more important during take off and landing than at other points. Flight attendants will often let you change freely after take off if you want.
My daughter was watching this on a plane and She saw a person switching seats and yelled at them to sit down. The attendants saw and told her thank you and they told the person to thank her. Mind you she is 6. This also happened another time when we were on a plane she told the person in the exit seat to read the manual. She is now still 6 and loves to fly. We go on the same plane if we go in the air. Se loves flying. And brings gifts for the attendants. Now she’s been diognosed with a severe form of syncope . Please pray for her. Bless your heart if you do
I think it more about occupied seats vs empty. I've been on a few flights when they've asked for volunteers to move from the back to the front of the plane for this issue.
CPL, MP, C/O, CPT CL: They dont wight people, they just think logically like they are not putting all the kids on the left side and all the heavy men on the right
45% of comments : this is so fake I'm a flight attendant/ my parents are a flight attendant 50% of comments : 2019~ don't swap seats 2020-3000 don't something 5% of comments : random If this is true, what about families? Like 2 parents 2 kids. Are we allowed to swap spots with just each other? Btw: not meaning to sound rude
Ya i always swap with ,y family when were not all next to eachother we swap so once im next to a stranger, and then my parents. Also what if you swap with a stranger?
you can swap seats in an aircraft if it is a widebody if it is a commuter jet then you must remain in your seats for weight and balance purposes, the pilots only do their own weight and balance in small commuter jets the big aircrafts are usually done by a load planner at the airlines dispatch center.

Hey Y'all, Aerospace Engineer here. While it is true that moving around in a plane cabin shifts its CG, passenger planes are designed to accommodate for a large variety of seating arrangements. Where the primary concern is is with passengers moving to the fore or aft of the plane since this can cause a much larger shift in CG than moving left or right. In most scenarios where it is "first come first serve" seating in an aircraft, you don't need to worry about where you sit. 😉
I love bright sides air plane videos. Although I’m not old enough to buy tickets, I understand everything from bright side, it just makes my day bright

Oh dear, definitely calling bs on that one. It's not logical unless they weigh every single passenger, or demand to know your weight when booking! And what about the flights where you can choose your own seat while booking? Yeah, this isn't logical. They like you to be in your assigned seat during takeoff and landing so that it's easier to identify the bodies if there is an accident. The bit about accidents being more likely to happen on takeoff and landing is true.
Nice to hear that YOU for one are using your brain! And, why don't we all cut back on this terror of planes.

It’s just the difference between an empty seat or an occupied seat. The loading is done whether or not the seat is occupied and is calculated on an average of like 75kg. If the seat is occupied and that seat will likely have 10kg of luggage nearby under the seat in front or overhead locker.
I’ve been on over 70 planes in the past year. It’s NEARLY impossible to leave your assigned seat 💺 This video was helpful for someone who hasn’t flown in a long time or doesn’t fly often. Flying without connection is great, when it’s available or not extra money. Even $100 is $100 I can spend at my destination. And - hey - if the plane goes down - we’re all going down together. ❤️
It's kind of comforting knowing you're not gonna die alone huh? I'd still rather not die at all, I practically have my entire life infront of me.... man I've lived on this planet for 18 years now and haven't done ANYTHING yet. I know it's really out of context but I can't wait to start working, earn my money, find my true love and just live life...
not it's not "super super safe" there is always chances of plane crashing or other accidents, it's just not easy following all plane rules and most people are always worried you can't just call it "super super safe" lol
Funny thing I’m getting my pilots license and in a huge boing like that if a few people move you won’t notice it at all. What’s funny is people get up to go to the bathroom all the time and flight attendance push carts full of snacks and beverages through the plane
A s t r o B a l ļ they said 4 ppl switching seats in a plane with 30 people or less. So 4 = 13.3% of the plane. For the logic of today’s aviation, which all planes are like 200 seats< there would need to be like 25 people switching seats on an airplane for the stuff they said on a video have any effect
LAMOo this is not real tf, the passengers that swap seats can't make that much of a diference to the plane, the plane is supposed to handle all kinds of scenarios like that
@@juliogayagas2314 They tipically measure your size of the baggage so it can have enough space for others and older models may ask for the weight as the holders aren't the sturdiest things in the world.
They don't because it's not true, at least for large passenger jets. If it were Southwest wouldn't allow you to choose your own seat as you board the plane.
My dad is a pilot, and this is fake af. He flies private jets, and the passengers are allowed to get up and walk around as he’s flying, it won’t do anything to the plane, I assume.
Private jets have surplus space and power, allowing for a more comfortable experience for the passengers. Larger aeroplanes carrying 300+ passengers have an enourmous focus on efficiency, and the displacememt of mass might have an effect on handling.
I feel like this is kinda cap, because although it may be a little unsafe to switch, it won’t necessarily through the who plane off balance because either way there is still the same number of people on board. And how would the plane not be able to stop if the runway was too short? Everyone, even the pilots have to be aware of this stuff, so I’m sure it would be ok to change once in a while. ALSO, (I’m not complaining, I’m just reasoning) the plane goes off balance a number of times…hello? They have to TURN!! :)
So i was sitting with my mom and a random lady. We sat in the back, but then my mom said she would go sit with my uncle, he sat in the front. When we landed there were police there. And know im watching this video😬
I asked my friends Dad who's been a pilot for 25 years and he said that they don't want people to swap seats, if the Plane goes down its easier to identify the bodies. Don't wanna bury John where Ben should of been. That's what he told me. I'm no flying expert but kinda makes sense to me!!
Apart from affecting balance, C of G and trim, the names of passengers are listed in the seat layout before take off and where they are sitting. In the event of a crash, it helps identify who was in a particular seat.
Tristan Scheffers Federal Aviation Requirements. CASA will have something very similar for weight and balance, especially as the standards are likely tied directly with the manufacturer’s POH.
Karen Combs where did you hear that? I know of no such system on a plane, plus it wouldn’t be accurate in measuring balance. Tangurple is correct, they take averages. Except it’s 190lbs per person in the summer, 195lbs in the winter.
Planes have got a function called Trimming. That means that they can trim the aircraft with a little joystick to avoid constant pitching or rolling of the aircraft. So don't worry to switch places. The pilots know how to trim their aircraft.

We go on the same plane if we go in the air. Se loves flying. And brings gifts for the attendants. Now she’s been diognosed with a severe form of syncope . Please pray for her. Bless your heart if you do

Superkitty PRO it is not funny!
Give me a break. Since when did they start weighing everyone? 🙄
They dont
*-gives break-*
They dont weigh anyone nobody mentioned that but you
I think it more about occupied seats vs empty. I've been on a few flights when they've asked for volunteers to move from the back to the front of the plane for this issue.
CPL, MP, C/O, CPT CL: They dont wight people, they just think logically like they are not putting all the kids on the left side and all the heavy men on the right
It’s Elmo I like your videos 👍

If this is true, what about families? Like 2 parents 2 kids. Are we allowed to swap spots with just each other?
Btw: not meaning to sound rude
i reckon that swapping seats with family members is fine
Ya i always swap with ,y family when were not all next to eachother we swap so once im next to a stranger, and then my parents. Also what if you swap with a stranger?
we have done that
Alright I’m now obsessed with this channel!!
you can swap seats in an aircraft if it is a widebody if it is a commuter jet then you must remain in your seats for weight and balance purposes, the pilots only do their own weight and balance in small commuter jets the big aircrafts are usually done by a load planner at the airlines dispatch center.

Don’t have to stop, the plane is heavy enough for you to change your seats
Hey Y'all, Aerospace Engineer here. While it is true that moving around in a plane cabin shifts its CG, passenger planes are designed to accommodate for a large variety of seating arrangements. Where the primary concern is is with passengers moving to the fore or aft of the plane since this can cause a much larger shift in CG than moving left or right. In most scenarios where it is "first come first serve" seating in an aircraft, you don't need to worry about where you sit. 😉
I love bright sides air plane videos. Although I’m not old enough to buy tickets, I understand everything from bright side, it just makes my day bright
I was seat hopping when i was 10 Boi,I'm glad the flight was safe
Good
K
I cant remember if i seat hopped
You probably weighted 30kg when you were 10 so it doesn't matter when you seat hop.
people: why are you always wearing hoodies, denim jeans and sneakers EVERYTIME you go on a flight?
me: you wouldn’t get it
Joker refrence?
AC too cold always on a flight!

Ok, why don't we all cut back on this terror of planes. Sweating in heavy wool long sleeves because you're flying and think it will save you from melting is LAUGHABLE! YOU ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE IN A CAR CRASH! But for some reason no one wears FULL BODY ARMOR when they go for a drive, even though it would make MORE SENSE than dressing for a plane the way BRIGHT SIDE suggests...
seems like bright side wants us to live in fear - BRIGHT side - haha!
Are they secretly being paid by TSA?!?
# Fearmongering
Oh dear, definitely calling bs on that one. It's not logical unless they weigh every single passenger, or demand to know your weight when booking! And what about the flights where you can choose your own seat while booking? Yeah, this isn't logical. They like you to be in your assigned seat during takeoff and landing so that it's easier to identify the bodies if there is an accident. The bit about accidents being more likely to happen on takeoff and landing is true.
just asking.... what does bs mean
Nice to hear that YOU for one are using your brain!

Thank you for this information about planes.
7:06 this is literally the point of overhead bins, the stuff you can’t fit under your seat goes in there. Doesn’t matter if it’s heavy or not
2019: never swap seats on a plane
2029: never move on a plane
2039: never stand on a plane
Mayank Kumar 2049: never breath on plane
Never stand in the galley
Immortal playz 2059: never get on a plane, oh wait-
3019: luxury airplane but u cant go to bathroom
this is quite illogical, no airlines ask for passenger's weight. Just another illogical talk.
Pankaj Joshi they just want 🤑
Idk about you, but here our metal detectors also have a scale you stand on
Brandon Gonzales but when you walk through metal detectors how do they know which flight you are in?
It’s just the difference between an empty seat or an occupied seat. The loading is done whether or not the seat is occupied and is calculated on an average of like 75kg.
If the seat is occupied and that seat will likely have 10kg of luggage nearby under the seat in front or overhead locker.
It's for safety
In southwest airlines, they dont have assigned seating. So do they have to count where everyone is?

I’ve been on over 70 planes in the past year. It’s NEARLY impossible to leave your assigned seat 💺 This video was helpful for someone who hasn’t flown in a long time or doesn’t fly often. Flying without connection is great, when it’s available or not extra money. Even $100 is $100 I can spend at my destination. And - hey - if the plane goes down - we’re all going down together. ❤️
70 wat Mich...😯😳😳..?
It's kind of comforting knowing you're not gonna die alone huh? I'd still rather not die at all, I practically have my entire life infront of me.... man I've lived on this planet for 18 years now and haven't done ANYTHING yet. I know it's really out of context but I can't wait to start working, earn my money, find my true love and just live life...

@Hayden Davis Hayden, would I joke about something as serious as a plane crash?
He is acting as if a plane is really really dangerous but it is actually super super safe lol
not it's not "super super safe" there is always chances of plane crashing or other accidents, it's just not easy following all plane rules and most people are always worried
you can't just call it "super super safe" lol
Statistically speaking it is still the safest way to travel.
This is a lie

Funny thing I’m getting my pilots license and in a huge boing like that if a few people move you won’t notice it at all. What’s funny is people get up to go to the bathroom all the time and flight attendance push carts full of snacks and beverages through the plane

@@annaa1773 who knows 🤷
Bright side:Dont swap seats.

Målfrid Spigseth are you Norwegian?
It really doesn’t matter, I’ve switched seats almost every time on an airplane, and it doesn’t put the flight in jeopardy.
They said if about 4 people changed seats
So what you said is bs
A s t r o B a l ļ they said 4 ppl switching seats in a plane with 30 people or less. So 4 = 13.3% of the plane. For the logic of today’s aviation, which all planes are like 200 seats< there would need to be like 25 people switching seats on an airplane for the stuff they said on a video have any effect
@@mirela1894 a few people switching seats doesn’t do anything. This video is bs like a lot of videos on this channel.

LAMOo this is not real tf, the passengers that swap seats can't make that much of a diference to the plane, the plane is supposed to handle all kinds of scenarios like that
Exactly. They don’t even ask your height and weight when you butter your ticket
i agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Im comfuse😞
gunga ginga excuse me they limit the weight of our baggage and who knows some other aircrafts can be like that
@@juliogayagas2314 They tipically measure your size of the baggage so it can have enough space for others and older models may ask for the weight as the holders aren't the sturdiest things in the world.
What about planes that allow you to pick your own seat then???? 🤔 💺 ✈️
Good point.
How do they know my wait when I’m on the plane?
That's exactly what I did for my next fly…
According to FAA regulations, i forget which FAR specifically, every person is assumed to be 170 pounds
storkfanforever that’s some serious luck right there.
I feel like bright side is going to find a way to be like don’t do anything
this is so informative. they should play this video on airplanes.
They don't because it's not true, at least for large passenger jets. If it were Southwest wouldn't allow you to choose your own seat as you board the plane.
My dad is a pilot, and this is fake af. He flies private jets, and the passengers are allowed to get up and walk around as he’s flying, it won’t do anything to the plane, I assume.
Emma Ward allowed*
malik ok boomer
Private jets are different...
Private jets have surplus space and power, allowing for a more comfortable experience for the passengers. Larger aeroplanes carrying 300+ passengers have an enourmous focus on efficiency, and the displacememt of mass might have an effect on handling.
Emma Ward yeah you’re right I tried it
Brightside when they ran out of ideas:
WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER SWAP PLANES ON A SEAT
But its pretty helpful tho. It could save a lot of lives?
Me: moves to the seat next to me
Pilot: we are all going to die
I feel like this is kinda cap, because although it may be
a little unsafe to switch, it won’t necessarily through the
who plane off balance because either way there is still
the same number of people on board. And how would the plane
not be able to stop if the runway was too short? Everyone, even
the pilots have to be aware of this stuff, so I’m sure it would be ok
to change once in a while.
ALSO, (I’m not complaining, I’m just reasoning) the plane goes
off balance a number of times…hello? They have to TURN!!
:)
So i was sitting with my mom and a random lady. We sat in the back, but then my mom said she would go sit with my uncle, he sat in the front. When we landed there were police there. And know im watching this video😬
I asked my friends Dad who's been a pilot for 25 years and he said that they don't want people to swap seats, if the Plane goes down its easier to identify the bodies. Don't wanna bury John where Ben should of been. That's what he told me. I'm no flying expert but kinda makes sense to me!!
Apart from affecting balance, C of G and trim, the names of passengers are listed in the seat layout
before take off and where they are sitting.
In the event of a crash, it helps identify who was in a particular seat.
That is assuming that the plane is still intact
this video should be showed on every flight!
How does the airline know my weight. Not like they ask
They assign seats based on averages. They know where the empty seats are.
Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) state that as a method of guestimating weight and balance every human is 170 pounds
Tristan Scheffers
federal aviation regulations. It’s just the name of the type of rules for us here in America
Tristan Scheffers Federal Aviation Requirements. CASA will have something very similar for weight and balance, especially as the standards are likely tied directly with the manufacturer’s POH.
Karen Combs where did you hear that? I know of no such system on a plane, plus it wouldn’t be accurate in measuring balance.
Tangurple is correct, they take averages. Except it’s 190lbs per person in the summer, 195lbs in the winter.
I have never been in a plane but whenever i get a chance, i will try to remember your teachings
I’ve been on a plane several times and this is false information :/
Its false info
Yea this isn't true.
@@yazminsoto2937 so you are saying that my whole life has been a lie ? 😭
@@madrish7226 Well I have never been in a plane either.. but I would just listen to the crew, I mean they should know what to do, right? :D
You could have posted this before my flight
Same i got of the plane yesterday!
Love these informative videos
Planes have got a function called Trimming. That means that they can trim the aircraft with a little joystick to avoid constant pitching or rolling of the aircraft. So don't worry to switch places. The pilots know how to trim their aircraft.
I like how they say that we should find a larger airplane but that just means that you will get cramped
Tan Bradley they said in this video find a larger aircraft, as if barely any airlines were flying planes >737/A320...
0:28 No way, I never thought of that before
Just imagine if you could take down an airplane with your weight 😂
That would be sad
Not gonna lie, this video should be the one they use in planes.
Why you shouldn’t switch your seat
