Calculating Weight and Balance - MzeroA Flight Training

[@aerosportrc6209]

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

[@aguinaldomota2875]

@@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…

[@kimhopkins68]

I would agree, I'm a 71 year old woman, horrible at math and story problems. Best explanation yet. Thanks.

[@xlhits]

​@@aguinaldomota2875hope you passed chief

[@wwgunfighter]

Passed my written! And I am preparing for my check ride in the near future. Thank you Sir!

[@FatherofOrpheus]

You're probably a pilot now so tell me how do I find the arm or moment of the basic empty weight?

[@OMARRIOO]

@@FatherofOrpheus Take the basic empty weight X Arm = Moment (POH should have the Weight and Arm for you)

[@cowetareserve]

Mzero is always an interesting KZbin refresher. A good pilot learned his stuff, a great pilot is always learning.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Very well said

[@jwf5997]

Thank you Jason. You are a great teacher and motivator. God Bless you and your family.

[@Amirmogul410]

yooo you seriously broke this down... thanks homie!!!

[@Giambis]

Your method was far easier to understand than others on here. I’ve been watching this for a half hour with other videos and I got it within about eight minutes on yours. Good job and thank you.

[@RobertKaydoo]

Discovered that I lost my electronic E6B just before my flight lesson and desperately needed a refresher on calculating weight and balance - this video really saved my bacon! Thank you so much for your excellent videos. You are a part of what makes KZbin such a valuable resource. Peace.

[@paulmorrisette1581]

How many times am I allowed to view this video ??????

[@kennethmccrory7991]

Best weight and balance video on KZbin. Confusing topic made simple. Outstanding!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!

[@captainh6544]

Your videos helped me with all of my ratings. I’m still here watching as a CFI now, learning how to teach these things in the same simple way you taught me! Thanks a lot Jason

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and being a part of the MzeroA Nation!

[@tbeevers]

Just solo'd at 11 hours and progressing on to this material now. I subscribed to the Sporty's online prep a few weeks ago but after watching this, I'm about to make a switch. This couldn't have been explained any better! I'm so glad I found this channel...subscribing and signing up!!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

We are glad to have you.

[@OpeInspires]

Excellent! Struggled with this for a while. Very straightforward and helpful! God bless you!

[@marioramos5576]

I am an airline pilot and have over 17000 hours. This was a great review for me. Well done and thank you!

[@SkyhawkDriver]

My instructor landed (no pun intended) a job with the airlines and started flaking on me. I've found out there's a lot they neglected to teach me, including weight and balance. This video really helped me figure it out.

[@ldfranklin2]

I just sat through a class in ground school covering take-off data cards and Jason’s explanation was much easier to follow

[@goldie9864]

7 years later, hairstyles may have changed ;), but this still stays super helpful and relevant. Thanks.

[@codyfrisbie371]

Jason, you truly have a gift for teaching! This video broke things down very clearly and orderly and completely practically. Thank you for all of your content, I will be sure to purchase products from you!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

[@Planty3125]

Thank you Jason, I endorse Jeff Ferguson for the first time I have a better understanding of weight and balance calculations. Once again thank you for advancing aviation knowledge

[@BLAQUELIQUID]

Hey I just want to say thank you for simplifying this process. I am taking my oral and practical test soon for A & P certification MTC. I will share with all my classmates.

[@davelee4706]

Was this on the O&P for A&P im taking mine in a couple of weeks.

[@DUBaviator]

Very well explained Jason, weight&balance made easy :)

[@pondbearflyer1193]

Yeah, agree with other comments, best W&B video I've found. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your efforts.

OMG thank you, the visual really helped. This might be the most helpful video for this specific topic on here.

[@guloguloguy]

....Thank you, Jason, for this interesting, and long needed review of this kind of problem solving! 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!...?!.... (Yes??!!)...

I know this is 4 year old video but boy is it good. Jason you make learning weights and balance easy to learn. When I started this video I didn't know what the terms arm or moment were and planned to look them up. But I didn't have to Jason did such a great job of explaining these concepts and made it easy. Thanks Jason and MzeroA Nation.

[@haefftpower]

Shouldn’t „Ramp Weight“ also be bold in the table? Since it is the sum of Zero Fuel Weight and Fuel...

[@sarathw5740]

Wow. Albert Einstein said, “If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you don't understand it yourself.” I am that six-year-old child I understood it perfectly. I booked marked this so I can listen to it before my exam, Thank you again.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Great that we were able to help.

[@antihero_antics]

Might be a dumb question but where did you get your ARM number for basic empty weight?

[@antihero_antics]

Nevermind I assume you just divide the weight and moment to get the ARM.

[@johnti8603]

Super Explanation. Will definitely bookmark this video.

Hi, I don't know if you answer or reply to people questions or comments here, but I will give it try, I have been confusing regard one of FAA quiz test, The question ask if the CG change and how much the change? 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
