⚖️ How do you weigh a giant of the skies? It may not look like it, but aircraft go on the scale too. And this isn’t a routine checkbox — it’s one of the most critical (and fascinating) maintenance tasks in aviation. In this video, we see the Base Maintenance team at IndiGo preparing an A320 for its periodic weighing. No estimates. No shortcuts. Just precision. 👉 Why does this matter so much? ✈️ Center of Gravity (CG) Not textbook theory — real-world stability, controllability, and safety margin

Aircraft Weight and Balance: Why It Matters What it is: • Weight: total load of aircraft, fuel, passengers, cargo. • Balance: how weight is distributed relative to the center of gravity (CG). Why it matters: • Incorrect CG makes the aircraft unstable and hard to control. • Overweight aircraft need longer takeoff and landing distance. • Poor balance can cause stalls or structural stress. • Wrong loading reduces fuel efficiency and climb performance. How pilots manage it: • Perform weight and bala
