Weight and balance calculations for light general aviation aircraft can be
critical for ensuring flight safety. Aircraft-specific software
applications available on the market today can make performing weight and
balance calculations much easier and less prone to mistakes.  Before using
such a software application, what action(s) must the pilot take?

Practice is the stuff of prevention when it comes to avoiding bad outcomes
in flying. There is a catch, however: If your practice isn’t fully

prevent. Now you have little more than your reaction time to pick the
strategy that separates a survivable ending from disaster.
