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.)

[@PWRwastaken]

True

[@yeekam8317]

I think the most problem is about the meals, they will have to find you

[@johnlegere1456]

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.

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

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.

[@mrmhod2580]

Dr Dermix Girl They use average for your age and gender, and they know where the weight is balanced before the calculations

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

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.

[@RedroomStudios]

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.

[@RedroomStudios]

@K Vlogs not on any plane. when we took a 20 seater from Maui to the Big Island we had to get weighed right at the check in desk.

[@nobuna2114]

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

I am sure airlines are not loading the aircraft to it limits and have given extra room for error

[@silverwind4236]

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.

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

[@shawnpeat]

I always fly Southwest - no assigned seats so you can sit where you want depending on your boarding order. When the flights aren't very full the Flight Attendants tell everyone to spread out, but never tell anyone exactly where to sit or they need to move because they are throwing the plane out of balance - giving this as a reason not to change seats is BS!

[@billm47645]

Shawn Peatrowsky They do this for weight and balance, but on larger aircraft this is not that critical. Meaning a few people in a less than optimum configuration on a Southwest 737 will not throw off the whole aircraft. That’s why they don’t ask for your weight when booking a flight. However, I once flew in a helicopter where the pilot made us sit in a certain order.

[@cool2180]

I like these videos types informative but this particular video is exaggerated little about switching seats. On planes that are larger than a commuter plane it is less of an issue and the load planners typically not loading the plane near it limits so allows some weight to be off in certain parts of the plane

[@ltgemini1599]

@@billm47645 Yes more critical on smaller planes, commutes and puddle jumpers. I've been in groups when our weigt is asked and told what seat to take. Fuller, lager planes is less of an issue.

[@shawnpeat]

I am a professional engineer and understand things luke weight and force. I agree that equal weight distribution is more important the smaller the aircraft is. And if a plane is only like half full people need to spread out to distribute the weight. But this video presented as if a couple of people switching seats on nearly full large commercial airplane could throw ut out of balance and make it hard to fly. That was what I was calling BS on. I agree with you William if weight distribution was that critical on a large commercial plane they would ask you for your weight when you bought your ticket.

[@rytisg]

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.

[@misaelmunoz8467]

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’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. ❤️

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.

[@MrShashank17]

Even when any passenger stood up for washroom, the occupied seat become empty leading to change in the weight distribution. In that case how crew and pilot handles the plane ?

[@potatohope1893]

It’s only if they put more weight on another side if one person goes it’s not that bad

[@tangurplemerclain1868]

One or two people wont do it. But if a good portion of the people (1/10-1/2) suddenly switched, yes that would cause problems

It's more important for take off and landing. When the plane is cruising at 31-41k feet the plane is much more stable and can easily counter a

They assign seats based on averages. They know where the empty seats are.

[@tangurplemerclain1868]

Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) state that as a method of guestimating weight and balance every human is 170 pounds

[@tangurplemerclain1868]

Tristan Scheffers federal aviation regulations. It’s just the name of the type of rules for us here in America

[@alexs3187]

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.

[@alexs3187]

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.

[@domenique4641]

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.

[@aleasianothing4642]

We swap seats all the time in a plane Cuz my siblings create drama and all of them want to sit next to the windows so my mom convinces them to change seats and our family switches seats mostly everytime when we're on a flight so it's normal for us

[@praveenchandran4403]

exactly. Such a misleading thing to say.

[@lidiat.o2376]

It’s called weight and balance. It doesn’t matter when the flight is full bc the weight is evenly distributed. But if it’s not (just like they explained here) and a lot of people move around for takeoff or landing, let’s say the ground crew put all the bags in the front because people wanted to spread out! Get their own row! N went to the back. But right before landing everyone in the back moves to the front because they want to get out faster. Now all the weight is in the front of the plane n the pilots have no clue. Mind u aircrafts have technology to let them know when something is not right. But I believe the point they are trying to make here is when something goes wrong this could make the difference between being safe or crashing.

[@samantharichardson6956]

storkfanforever that’s some serious luck right there.

[@Fritzafella]

Um. So then how does this work on Southwest airlines where you can sit literally wherever you want??? I have never seen flight attendants ask to move people to the other side of the plane, yet in moderately empty flights there is a significant desire to sit closer to the front so you don't walk as far or wait as long when the plane lands.

[@waza987]

I was on a very empty plane once, everyone moved everywhere else and no one said anything. I had a row of three to myself and the three seats both in front and behind were both originally empty, of course every groups of 3 or 4 sears ended up with people lying down sleeping across them.

Okay but how is the weight distributed then because passengers don’t get weighted. I only way half of a normal adult but they don’t know that. Also some people are overweight, they might weigh three times my weight. So how would switching places make such a difference? In helicopter it does but there they weigh all tge passenger and that determines where your seat is

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!! :)
