Turns out W&B calcs are easy, and kinda fun! That is all.
I don't know why, but I had some trepidation. Just in case any other students are like me and not a genius like smartypants skydog, I thought I would make a post to reassure them.

Now that you've mastered that; for your next challenge, you are figuring out the W&B for a fully loaded aircraft and you discover you are out of the envelope. NOW what do you do and how do you do it?
My genius comment was supposed to have a tongue wagging winky smiley. Apparently you can't use iPhone emojis....another lesson learnedDon't have to be a genius at all. The math involved is junior high level at most. If it wasn't, then there'd be a lot fewer pilots in the world.

I'm only scared by W&B numbers when one of them works out to be an irrational number.
Go to stability school for offshore vessels (read floating drilling rigs). Aircraft W&B is simple after that.
