Weight and Balance with ForeFlight

How to Set Up and Calculate Weight and Balance Calculations with ForeFlight

Speaker: Mike Jesch, CFI, DPE

New Electronic Flight Bag tools offer the possibility of radically simplifying the way pilots calculate weight and balance. By making it so quick and easy, we can reduce the drudgery of the process, and explore modifications more easily. But, as with all things computer, it's garbage in, garbage out, and it's important to get the aircraft setup right, from the start.

Fullerton based CFI, DPE, and FAPA Vice President Mike Jesch will demonstrate the process to create your aircraft's weight and balance profile based on original data for the highest accuracy and ease. Then, he'll demonstrate a few tricks you can use that make it even easier to use for future flights. Bring your aircraft's empty weight and balance data, and we can work with some actual examples during the program.
