Yes, you shouldn't swap seats without asking cabin crew. But it does not mean the aircraft will have balance issues, a long as you move forward and back and stay in the same side of the aircraft, pilots won't have a problem correcting the balance by trimming the aircraft. (Trim is basically what elevator attitude the plane has, if it is trimmed positively the plane will have an easier time taking off, so if the weight changes in the cabin all that pilots will do is from the aircraft.)
I'm an aerospace engineer, and trust me that doesn't matter at all, because there are autopilots that accomodate such changes in aerodynamic centre. Feel free to change seats and move around. It won't be a very big problem until and unless all passengers start running around edges of the aircraft. It will be sudden and confuse the autopilot🚀✨
“The more prepared you are the less likely it is going to happen” works for this case but not all the time like when you’re prepared for your test and it is less likely to happen u will pass.
We actually swapped seats upon requirement...me, mum, papa and my elder brother were traveling. Tickets were booked together for mum and papa and separately for me n my bhaiya. So We all got far away seats from each other i got the window one and so asked the person in the middle if he can swap seat with bhaiya and he agreed n told, okay we have to discuss it with attendant too. And she also allowed. It was my first ever flight. I was so happy. Thanks to that kind man!😇❤️
Thank you for this video, this makes me feel more safe about getting on a plane for the first time in years to fly from Georgia to illinois to she my father's side of the family every summer as i mainly live with my mother. They have been trying to get me to fly because its less likely to get onto an accident in the air then on the ground but i have still been very scared about it so thanks for this. Its makes me feel better about this.☺❤
As a former "cabin crew member", I was a flight attendant for many years - I NEVER once heard that passengers shouldn't change seats. Never heard it in training, and they were very thorough and I never heard it from a pilot. I did it all the time when I was flew as a passenger and no one ever said anything to me.
Seat changes are usually only risky if you move more than several rows, and depends a lot on how heavy the aircraft is. On a small aircraft like a 15 seat seaplane, you'll often be asked to change seats to get a better balance. On larger aircraft with a high payload, an individual seat change is rarely enough to tip the balance off (partly because everything is planned to keep the CoG around the center so there's more room for inaccuracies.) Also, the whole thing is more important during take off and landing than at other points. Flight attendants will often let you change freely after take off if you want.
I love bright sides air plane videos. Although I’m not old enough to buy tickets, I understand everything from bright side, it just makes my day bright
@@oz_medias i understand but large planes commercial planes aren more tolerant of this. I worked two airlines and from my experience this is major issue in the commuter type planes. But larger planes are more tolerant of this. Also from how i see bags get tossed around in the cargo hold of b737 and a320 with no kind precision tells me it is not that serious as the video makes it to be though the weight and balance is still a big factor. I am sure airlines are not loading the aircraft to it limits and have given extra room for error
Not sure how they “balance” the passenger weight on a plane when you can check in online and choose your own seat. They don’t ask for your height and weight before you do this. I call BS.
Mr MHod- I get that they can calculate where the weight is balanced but how can they control where people choose to select their seats? The only thing they really have control of is how to balance baggage weight against the estimated passenger weight distribution.
the only times we have ever had to give our weight was on a helicopter flight and a small airplane with about 20 seats and then we were individually told where to sit so that it was balanced evenly.
They can calculate it by the information they have. They know which gender, how tall you are, where you come from and what your age is. For everything they could have some standardized weights and can know how the weight will be distributed in the plane but with some calculated variations of course
Who knows. I don't know what they're thinking lol I only wondered if they informed the pilots first before they do something like this cos it's dangerous. That being said, I feel lucky.
The FAA accounts for 180 lbs per seat and it is calculated into the weight and balance of the aircraft. That’s why they don’t weigh passengers. Moving seats in an airliner will NOT cause an imbalance great enough to cause any issue. If your in a small plane 4 to 6 seats it is more critical.
We swap seats all the time in a plane Cuz my siblings create drama and all of them want to sit next to the windows so my mom convinces them to change seats and our family switches seats mostly everytime when we're on a flight so it's normal for us
you can swap seats in an aircraft if it is a widebody if it is a commuter jet then you must remain in your seats for weight and balance purposes, the pilots only do their own weight and balance in small commuter jets the big aircrafts are usually done by a load planner at the airlines dispatch center.
Your lucky my parents always get a row to they're selves and I get one seat that I never sleep in because I just watch movies (I did do that before cuz I was bored)
It’s just the difference between an empty seat or an occupied seat. The loading is done whether or not the seat is occupied and is calculated on an average of like 75kg. If the seat is occupied and that seat will likely have 10kg of luggage nearby under the seat in front or overhead locker.
Funny thing I’m getting my pilots license and in a huge boing like that if a few people move you won’t notice it at all. What’s funny is people get up to go to the bathroom all the time and flight attendance push carts full of snacks and beverages through the plane
Before you board ask the desk attendant if switching would be possible, I’ve done it several times before boarding and everytime I fly I get a window seat even if It wasn’t my original seat.
I thought the switching seat notification rule was so that if there was an accident, they would be able to identify bodies based off of the seating chart 🤔
Exactly that's one reason but this video is a lie simply if weight is an issue in terms of sitting on the Abe they would have asked for your weight in order to choose a seat for u it's simple not true that changing a seat can lead to unbalance weight issue on the plane 😂😂😂
Ok, why don't we all cut back on this terror of planes. Sweating in heavy wool long sleeves because you're flying and think it will save you from melting is LAUGHABLE! YOU ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE IN A CAR CRASH! But for some reason no one wears FULL BODY ARMOR when they go for a drive, even though it would make MORE SENSE than dressing for a plane the way BRIGHT SIDE suggests... seems like bright side wants us to live in fear - BRIGHT side - haha!

Tristan Scheffers Federal Aviation Requirements. CASA will have something very similar for weight and balance, especially as the standards are likely tied directly with the manufacturer’s POH.
Karen Combs where did you hear that? I know of no such system on a plane, plus it wouldn’t be accurate in measuring balance. Tangurple is correct, they take averages. Except it’s 190lbs per person in the summer, 195lbs in the winter.
My daughter was watching this on a plane and She saw a person switching seats and yelled at them to sit down. The attendants saw and told her thank you and they told the person to thank her. Mind you she is 6. This also happened another time when we were on a plane she told the person in the exit seat to read the manual. She is now still 6 and loves to fly. We go on the same plane if we go in the air. Se loves flying. And brings gifts for the attendants. Now she’s been diognosed with a severe form of syncope . Please pray for her. Bless your heart if you do
I think it more about occupied seats vs empty. I've been on a few flights when they've asked for volunteers to move from the back to the front of the plane for this issue.
CPL, MP, C/O, CPT CL: They dont wight people, they just think logically like they are not putting all the kids on the left side and all the heavy men on the right
I always fly Southwest - no assigned seats so you can sit where you want depending on your boarding order. When the flights aren't very full the Flight Attendants tell everyone to spread out, but never tell anyone exactly where to sit or they need to move because they are throwing the plane out of balance - giving this as a reason not to change seats is BS!
Shawn Peatrowsky They do this for weight and balance, but on larger aircraft this is not that critical. Meaning a few people in a less than optimum configuration on a Southwest 737 will not throw off the whole aircraft. That’s why they don’t ask for your weight when booking a flight. However, I once flew in a helicopter where the pilot made us sit in a certain order.
I like these videos types informative but this particular video is exaggerated little about switching seats. On planes that are larger than a commuter plane it is less of an issue and the load planners typically not loading the plane near it limits so allows some weight to be off in certain parts of the plane
@@billm47645 Yes more critical on smaller planes, commutes and puddle jumpers. I've been in groups when our weigt is asked and told what seat to take. Fuller, lager planes is less of an issue.
I am a professional engineer and understand things luke weight and force. I agree that equal weight distribution is more important the smaller the aircraft is. And if a plane is only like half full people need to spread out to distribute the weight. But this video presented as if a couple of people switching seats on nearly full large commercial airplane could throw ut out of balance and make it hard to fly. That was what I was calling BS on. I agree with you William if weight distribution was that critical on a large commercial plane they would ask you for your weight when you bought your ticket.
That's right. And on Southwest, if you fly a longer distance with one or two stops, people get off and there's do determining where the remaining people are sitting as the flight continues to its next destination. Likewise the flight attendants always tell you after you land at an intermediate stop that you can change your seat location after they do a headcount. Sometimes they will ask a few people to move to the back, but that's about it.
Im working in one of the biggest airline company as guest contact service and I always explain this but they don’t understand why they are not allowed to change the seat on the aircraft
I have been studying aviation for a year. A planes center of gravity is calculated by the total weight of all the numbers of the passagers and cargo in the back. The max payload is at 55000lbs. So switching your seat wouldn't change a thing
not it's not "super super safe" there is always chances of plane crashing or other accidents, it's just not easy following all plane rules and most people are always worried you can't just call it "super super safe" lol
Of course, because they weight every passenger to calculate the balance, or a 3 year old weights just as much as a 7 ft bodybuilder. Absolutely accurate
Oh dear, definitely calling bs on that one. It's not logical unless they weigh every single passenger, or demand to know your weight when booking! And what about the flights where you can choose your own seat while booking? Yeah, this isn't logical. They like you to be in your assigned seat during takeoff and landing so that it's easier to identify the bodies if there is an accident. The bit about accidents being more likely to happen on takeoff and landing is true.
Nice to hear that YOU for one are using your brain! And, why don't we all cut back on this terror of planes. Sweating in heavy wool long sleeves because you're flying and think it will save you from melting is LAUGHABLE! YOU ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE IN A CAR CRASH! But for some reason no one wears FULL BODY ARMOR when they go for a drive, even though it would make MORE SENSE than dressing for a plane the way BRIGHT SIDE suggests... seems like bright side wants us to live in fear - BRIGHT side - haha!

My dad is a pilot, and this is fake af. He flies private jets, and the passengers are allowed to get up and walk around as he’s flying, it won’t do anything to the plane, I assume.
Private jets have surplus space and power, allowing for a more comfortable experience for the passengers. Larger aeroplanes carrying 300+ passengers have an enourmous focus on efficiency, and the displacememt of mass might have an effect on handling.
It’s called weight and balance. It doesn’t matter when the flight is full bc the weight is evenly distributed. But if it’s not (just like they explained here) and a lot of people move around for takeoff or landing, let’s say the ground crew put all the bags in the front because people wanted to spread out! Get their own row! N went to the back. But right before landing everyone in the back moves to the front because they want to get out faster. Now all the weight is in the front of the plane n the pilots have no clue. Mind u aircrafts have technology to let them know when something is not right. But I believe the point they are trying to make here is when something goes wrong this could make the difference between being safe or crashing.
But the wont know how one person is build until they're bording so what if the rear is packed with heavy ppl while the front is where all tthe super skinnies sit o. O
Um. So then how does this work on Southwest airlines where you can sit literally wherever you want??? I have never seen flight attendants ask to move people to the other side of the plane, yet in moderately empty flights there is a significant desire to sit closer to the front so you don't walk as far or wait as long when the plane lands.
I have a question, so how do you account for going to the bathroom and the crew members walking up and down the aisle and the crew members moving ppl from their seat to first class? Wouldn't that in theory throw the plane balance off??? But, ok.
It's a CZcams video made to get viewers..... The person who created the video doesn't care about logic or Real Research. They only care about money at this point......
Well once when I was 7 my mom didn’t buy seats and me and my mom were separated and the team wouldn’t let us sit together unless we paid more and on the website said that “any kids under the age of 13 have to sit with a adult and shouldn’t get charged money” and so we had to ask for the person that was sitting next to my mom to sit in my seat and they were nice enough to say okay

Bless your heart if you do
Lol
@@superkittypro6520 stop not funny
@BRAYDEN BISKUP your right it isn't funny
Superkitty PRO it is not funny!
Give me a break. Since when did they start weighing everyone? 🙄
They dont
*-gives break-*
They dont weigh anyone nobody mentioned that but you
I think it more about occupied seats vs empty. I've been on a few flights when they've asked for volunteers to move from the back to the front of the plane for this issue.
CPL, MP, C/O, CPT CL: They dont wight people, they just think logically like they are not putting all the kids on the left side and all the heavy men on the right
Thanks for the information I am actully going on a plane in a few months.
Thanks for telling me this because the swap seats thing no one told me and I’m going to Italy soon 🇮🇹🛩
I always fly Southwest - no assigned seats so you can sit where you want depending on your boarding order. When the flights aren't very full the Flight Attendants tell everyone to spread out, but never tell anyone exactly where to sit or they need to move because they are throwing the plane out of balance - giving this as a reason not to change seats is BS!
Shawn Peatrowsky They do this for weight and balance, but on larger aircraft this is not that critical. Meaning a few people in a less than optimum configuration on a Southwest 737 will not throw off the whole aircraft. That’s why they don’t ask for your weight when booking a flight. However, I once flew in a helicopter where the pilot made us sit in a certain order.
I like these videos types informative but this particular video is exaggerated little about switching seats. On planes that are larger than a commuter plane it is less of an issue and the load planners typically not loading the plane near it limits so allows some weight to be off in certain parts of the plane
@@billm47645 Yes more critical on smaller planes, commutes and puddle jumpers. I've been in groups when our weigt is asked and told what seat to take. Fuller, lager planes is less of an issue.
I am a professional engineer and understand things luke weight and force. I agree that equal weight distribution is more important the smaller the aircraft is. And if a plane is only like half full people need to spread out to distribute the weight. But this video presented as if a couple of people switching seats on nearly full large commercial airplane could throw ut out of balance and make it hard to fly. That was what I was calling BS on. I agree with you William if weight distribution was that critical on a large commercial plane they would ask you for your weight when you bought your ticket.
That's right. And on Southwest, if you fly a longer distance with one or two stops, people get off and there's do determining where the remaining people are sitting as the flight continues to its next destination. Likewise the flight attendants always tell you after you land at an intermediate stop that you can change your seat location after they do a headcount. Sometimes they will ask a few people to move to the back, but that's about it.

Hi
Yeah i won't look at your channel i lied i looked
Hahahaha you can sub it also
But you told me not to check your channel lol
Break the rules🤣🤣🤣
Im working in one of the biggest airline company as guest contact service and I always explain this but they don’t understand why they are not allowed to change the seat on the aircraft
Geez BRIGHT SIDE, are you secretly really just TSA, or are they paying you?!?
I have been studying aviation for a year. A planes center of gravity is calculated by the total weight of all the numbers of the passagers and cargo in the back. The max payload is at 55000lbs. So switching your seat wouldn't change a thing
One time, I swapped seats with someone, and the plane crashed, and we all died.
I’m sorry to hear about that :(
Lol. The irony.
Lol XD
😂
@Hayden Davis Hayden, would I joke about something as serious as a plane crash?
So this helped a lot and now I know thank you
This really informed me thank you bright side!
Me: Swaps seats
Bright side: thE plANe iS gOIng tO CRrash
LOL
Ok
Ok Jarvis
2019: never swap seats on a plane
2029: never move on a plane
2039: never stand on a plane
Mayank Kumar 2049: never breath on plane
Never stand in the galley
Immortal playz 2059: never get on a plane, oh wait-
3019: luxury airplane but u cant go to bathroom
These tips help alot! i will tell pepole if they pull that!
I am traveling tomorrow this helped me so much thanks bright side 💡
He is acting as if a plane is really really dangerous but it is actually super super safe lol
not it's not "super super safe" there is always chances of plane crashing or other accidents, it's just not easy following all plane rules and most people are always worried
you can't just call it "super super safe" lol
Statistically speaking it is still the safest way to travel.
This is a lie
nustiucenumesapun • If it’s rare to die that means it’s safe
@@mrnoreply2 Are you calling superman a liar?
brightside: Uploads "why I should never change seat on an airplane."
Me:Fills with curiosity
I leaned something new that I don’t think I would want to go in a airplane by myself any more😳😳😳
Of course, because they weight every passenger to calculate the balance, or a 3 year old weights just as much as a 7 ft bodybuilder. Absolutely accurate
Oh dear, definitely calling bs on that one. It's not logical unless they weigh every single passenger, or demand to know your weight when booking! And what about the flights where you can choose your own seat while booking? Yeah, this isn't logical. They like you to be in your assigned seat during takeoff and landing so that it's easier to identify the bodies if there is an accident. The bit about accidents being more likely to happen on takeoff and landing is true.
just asking.... what does bs mean
Nice to hear that YOU for one are using your brain!
And, why don't we all cut back on this terror of planes. Sweating in heavy wool long sleeves because you're flying and think it will save you from melting is LAUGHABLE! YOU ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE IN A CAR CRASH! But for some reason no one wears FULL BODY ARMOR when they go for a drive, even though it would make MORE SENSE than dressing for a plane the way BRIGHT SIDE suggests...
seems like bright side wants us to live in fear - BRIGHT side - haha!
Are they secretly being paid by TSA?!?
# Fearmongering
Bright side:Dont swap seats.
Me: Swapping seats to seat next to the toilet.
Målfrid Spigseth are you Norwegian?
Thank you for this vid because next week I am going to turkey
I shared it with someone I know because they are always traveling. 🤗
Am I the only person that loves the feeling of being on a plane?
Yes
Same
idk i have never been
Yep
Same
Me: swaps seats

this video should be showed on every flight!
Thanks, now I’m even more terrified of going on a plane.
My dad is a pilot, and this is fake af. He flies private jets, and the passengers are allowed to get up and walk around as he’s flying, it won’t do anything to the plane, I assume.
Emma Ward allowed*
malik ok boomer
Private jets are different...
Private jets have surplus space and power, allowing for a more comfortable experience for the passengers. Larger aeroplanes carrying 300+ passengers have an enourmous focus on efficiency, and the displacememt of mass might have an effect on handling.
Emma Ward yeah you’re right I tried it
Alright this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard bro how will a 100 thousand kilogram plane tip over because of a few people
Facts! I was thinking that for the whole video 😂
exactly. Such a misleading thing to say.
It’s called weight and balance. It doesn’t matter when the flight is full bc the weight is evenly distributed. But if it’s not (just like they explained here) and a lot of people move around for takeoff or landing, let’s say the ground crew put all the bags in the front because people wanted to spread out! Get their own row! N went to the back. But right before landing everyone in the back moves to the front because they want to get out faster. Now all the weight is in the front of the plane n the pilots have no clue. Mind u aircrafts have technology to let them know when something is not right. But I believe the point they are trying to make here is when something goes wrong this could make the difference between being safe or crashing.
Very easy
But the wont know how one person is build until they're bording so what if the rear is packed with heavy ppl while the front is where all tthe super skinnies sit o. O
Um. So then how does this work on Southwest airlines where you can sit literally wherever you want??? I have never seen flight attendants ask to move people to the other side of the plane, yet in moderately empty flights there is a significant desire to sit closer to the front so you don't walk as far or wait as long when the plane lands.
I have a question, so how do you account for going to the bathroom and the crew members walking up and down the aisle and the crew members moving ppl from their seat to first class? Wouldn't that in theory throw the plane balance off???
But, ok.
It's a CZcams video made to get viewers.....
The person who created the video doesn't care about logic or Real Research.
They only care about money at this point......
@@electrablazer4193 FACTS
Me: moves to the seat next to me
Pilot: we are all going to die
What about planes that allow you to pick your own seat then???? 🤔 💺 ✈️
Good point.
How do they know my wait when I’m on the plane?
That's exactly what I did for my next fly…
According to FAA regulations, i forget which FAR specifically, every person is assumed to be 170 pounds
storkfanforever that’s some serious luck right there.
Well once when I was 7 my mom didn’t buy seats and me and my mom were separated and the team wouldn’t let us sit together unless we paid more and on the website said that “any kids under the age of 13 have to sit with a adult and shouldn’t get charged money” and so we had to ask for the person that was sitting next to my mom to sit in my seat and they were nice enough to say okay
I’ll remember this when I go on a plane thank you
