E075 - Weight & Balance

This week we're talking all about the importance of calculating proper weight & balance. We often get complacent in training because we just hop in the airplane with our instructor and go. But in the real world when we're flying passengers, there's a lot more to think about. Bags, fuel, passenger weight, etc. So whether you're a brand new student pilot, or a seasoned veteran listening to our show to stay sharp, hopefully you'll learn a little bit and have some fun listening as we discuss weight & balance!
