IMDB rating: 5.80 Plot: After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire (Anne Hathaway), is assigned by her mentor (Andre Braugher) to counsel the flight’s five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident — which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened — Claire is intrigued by Eric (Patrick Wilson), the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire’s professional relationship with Eric — despite her better judgment — blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences. |

What are the weight distribution rules for passengers on helicopters?
For example, does it matter where the heavier passengers sit?
You can download a pdf from the FAA called the Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook: FAA-H-8083-1 for free.
The non-technical answer is: yes it does matter. Heavier passengers should be loaded in the center to allow for better control in flight and hover. The maximum weight has to do with the structural integrity of the helicopter and the amount of power available from the powerplant.

yes it matters the weight has to be evenly distributed according to the center of gravity(comnoly refered to as the C/G). If you are just a passenger this will make no sense to you.

just don’t put all the fat people on one side.

Sure it matters. You want the chubs and chubbettes seated as close to the center of gravity as they can be.
The center of gravity is directly under the main rotor shaft. Assuming they are not the pilot…the closest passenger seat to that area rules.

Really depends on the helicopter. if it’s a 2 seater, you don’t have much choice do you? If it’s something like a Bell 204/5, 212/412 (the Huey), it really doesn’t make a difference.
Now if I were loading a very heavy object I would put it close to the CG (which in this case would be the back toward the Xmission and centered in the cargo compartment).
It’s a little hard (but not impossible) to get out of CG on a helicopter with just passengers.

heaviest to the center of the craft

you do your best to load evenly, if you do have a "heavy person" this person should sit as close to centerline as possible.
just so long as you are within your load parameters vs fuel and length of trip, you just load as evenly as possible.

Yes, it matters. Rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) are a bit more complicated for W&B (Weight and Balance) than fixed wing aircraft because, since the wing does rotate, lateral (side-to-side)W&B considerations become more critical. One way to ensure safety is, as previously noted, to keep heavier people/cargo close to the centerline of the aircraft as possible. Another is simply to be sure that items are ‘balanced out’.
