Lesson 23: Weight and Balance
There are many factors in the safe and efficient operation of aircraft, including proper weight and balance control. The weight and balance system commonly employed among aircraft consists of three equally important elements: the weighing of the aircraft, the maintaining of the weight and balance records, and the proper loading of the aircraft. An inaccuracy in any one of these elements defeats the purpose of the system. The final loading calculations are meaningless if either the aircraft has been improperly weighed or the records contain an error.
Improper loading decreases the effic ency and performance of an aircraft from the standpoint of altitude, maneuverability, rate of climb, and speed. It may even be the cause of failure to complete the flight or, for that matter, failure to start the flight.Because of abnormal stresses placed upon the structure of an improperly loaded aircraft, or because of changed fly ng characteristics of the aircraft, loss of life and destruction of valuable equipment may result.

This is a great example. Just the Pilot has to make sure that before he or she takes off that the takeoff weight is under the landing Weight because in emergency it would be hard to land which it’s called abort plan
Wow 😮 I just found myself clapping for you, very smart

[@natev8030]

Great series!

[@aviationnation5997]

Thanks a lot for these. Happy Holidays!

[@fasstford5272]

Thanks y’all love the series

The reason the SR-71 could fly with more weight vs. takeoff was how the plane was made. It went so fast that the skin would expand and contract due to the heat generated by friction with the atmosphere. At the time, there was no viable solution to seal the fuel tanks, and they would literally leak on the ramp so they would put enough fuel in it to take off and then refuel it after takeoff. By then, the plane could speed up, expand the skin, and fully seal the tanks, so leaking wasn't an issue.

Great explanation once again. Makes the subject so much easier to understand. Thank you.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Captainhero1]

Thank you 💕 sir

[@Dennco2000]

My wife loves your videos and she’s not even a pilot 😂

[@9LimaAlpha7]

21:30 y is there non usable fuel?

[@JTwisted]

Could you please explain how to use the chart at 42:26? Still can't get it.

[@amjedhameed2410]

Sorry,I just confused at the minute 40:00 the MUM/100 = 0.9814 NOT (981.4 )🫣
thanks Captain 😊
