In this video, I demonstrate how to set up a weight and balance profile in ForeFlight for your aircraft. Once you set up the profile, weight and balance calculations are a breeze!

Finding the TCDS online is extremely helpful. You should make a similar video on finding all the airworthiness directives for an aircraft!

Hello. Checkride in a couple months. Your videos are helping me so much. Thank you!! Now if only lining up a DPE was as easy.

Best of luck with your training and checkride! I know the DPE shortage is frustrating, but hopefully the wait times will be coming down soon as the FAA has designated a lot more new DPEs recently.

Excellent video Mr. Lake! Finally, someone making a video of applying the skills needed to make a proper W&B profile. One question- what if there is an STC increase in total useful load of the aircraft (due to a more powerful engine upgrade)? My new useful load is 2550, instead of the original 2300.
@SethLakeDPE
@SethLakeDPE 7 месяцев назад
Definitely use that new weight on your profile. Also make sure the weight and balance was updated by the mechanic or shop that completed the new STC

Hey Seth. Great video. Thank you. I fly the C72RG. The TCDC doesn't say "or less" like the fixed gear 172. What effect does that have on the ForeFlight setup of the CG range?
@SethLakeDPE
@SethLakeDPE Год назад
You're still good to go. There isn't a minimum weight that I'm awere of for the Cardinal
@awarehead
@awarehead 7 месяцев назад
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Question - I noticed you don’t factor in the oil, though it is included in the POH W&B problem. The TCDS for the 172 indicates that the BEW includes undrainable oil only. Should I add a station for oil in ForeFlight?
@SethLakeDPE
@SethLakeDPE 6 месяцев назад
It depends on how the most recent weight and balance was done. It should indicate if the oil was full or if it just had undrainable oil. The most conservative thing to do, though, would be to assume it had full oil. For most people, I would suggest adding the weight of your max oil level to the basic setup of the aircraft.

Perfect timing Seth! Checkride tomorrow, and this was the last annoying thing I had to do flying a N model that I hadn’t flown yet. I used the loading graph and used that data to find the arm. I can’t believe they didn’t put a fuel arm as simply in the 172 POH. And that data sheet was pure gold as I’ve been looking for those mins and max for awhile. Awesome awesome video, and it’s something I’ve seen a lot of CFI’s get wrong as well. My updated weight and balance is set up now. I wish they made it easy to overlay a utility category. Thanks again!

Hi Seth. Loved your video - actually I like all your videos. I would like to use this feature of foreflight but I'm having a really hard time with something and was hoping you could help me out. I fly at an aeroclub on an airforce base. All of the planes there are T-41C's. And I'm finding it impossible to locate the TCDS for this aircraft so that I can get the CG limits. Do you have any suggestions for where I could get this information? Closest I could find on the FAA website is the T-41A but that's definitely not correct. Thanks!
@SethLakeDPE
@SethLakeDPE 5 месяцев назад
I'll have to research that. If you can't find the TCDS, the aircraft's weight and balance should list everything needed to build a profile in ForeFlight.
@timncheryl
@timncheryl Год назад
Seth, should the max fuel weight be based on usable fuel since the basic empty weight includes unusable fuel? Not a huge difference at these weights but just checking my understanding. Thanks for the great videos!
@SethLakeDPE
@SethLakeDPE Год назад
It depends on how it was weighed but that's a really good question. Technically, basic empty weight should include unusable fuel.

Yes, being able to share a W&B profile is very helpful. My fleece is a Eddie Bauer one I picked up a couple of years ago. Eddie Bauer is my unofficial clothing sponsor 😆. I get all of my clothes from there.

@mattbowers3541

With multiple fuel tanks: Add them into the Aircraft W&B profile, in the order in which they fill or drain. When you do a partial fill or use up some fuel, ForeFlight will use the first tank you added, then the next, next. I had a problem in the LearJet I fly wherein it would fill the Fuselage Tank first. This would greatly throw off the Wt&Bal. I deleted it and added it back in, now it's fixed. I think FF calls this "Fuel Sequencing" and says it's not available with a scratch built airplane profile. * Spread this around. FF doesn't have the answer.
