How to Calculate Weight and Balance (step by step example) - For Student Pilots

[@okcpicker]

Thanks for this tutorial. I was reluctant to dive into weight and balance, but you have made complete sense of it. Excellent starting point for we who were not math majors!

[@PartTimePilot]

Thanks for watching and glad I was helpful!

Just an average guy trying to get the most realistic experience out of my flight sim, your videos are great, thank you. it will be helpful making a videos explaining VFR in general, flight planning, procedures etc.

[@PartTimePilot]

Mike thanks man! I will be going through all the steps of flight planning for planning a cross country. What sort of procedures do you mean?

Pro tip : you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@rowancade9095]

@Morgan Kamari Definitely, been using flixzone for months myself :)

[@OrlandoemCasa]

Very well explained. Consider using the zoom for more detailed explanation of the numbers on the graph. Great lesson.

[@PartTimePilot]

Thank you! Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!

Thank you so much, I have my pvt pilot stage 1 check today

Good luck!

@@PartTimePilot thank you, but I failed

[@PartTimePilot]

@@anthonynelson4015 Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. What went wrong?

[@anthonynelson4015]

@PartTimePilot I used the wrong sheet and performance charts for weight and balance, I also didn't have the right empty weight as well. I did good in other areas, and just need to touch up on v speeds

[@PartTimePilot]

@@anthonynelson4015 ahh dang. You aren’t in our checkride prep course are you? We mention having the right empty weight quite a few times lol

If you have full fuel (50 gallons), wouldn't the weight be 300? I realize my warrior can only use 48 gallons, but when it's full, it's supposed to hold 50 gallons. I've never had an empty tank, so I can't confirm it hold exactly 25 gallons per wing tank.

[@PartTimePilot]

Good question. The 2 lbs of unusable fuel are included in the empty weight since we assume we can never really get it out. So if we included it in our fuel weight we would be double counting it. So we only want to include usable fuel!

[@ryankelley85091]

Makes sense. Thanks for explaining this so well. My checkride is coming and I'm trying to pull it all together.@@PartTimePilot
