Basics: Trim & Stability – Stiff vs. Tender Ships ⚓ Let’s make stability simple: It all comes down to your ship’s GM (Metacentric Height). ✅ Tender Ship – Low GM – Short righting lever – Rolls slowly but more dangerously – Less stable in rough seas ✅ Stiff Ship – High GM – Long righting lever – Quick, sharp rolls – Feels stable but uncomfortable Balance is key! Too tender = unsafe. Too stiff = stressful for crew & cargo. Know your GM. Understand your behavior. Stay stable out there! #TrimAndStab

🫡🫡🫡Static vs. Dynamic Stability: Keeping Aircraft Under Control Did You Know? Aircraft stability isn’t just about staying level—static stability determines initial reactions to disturbances, while dynamic stability dictates whether oscillations grow, fade, or stay constant over time! Key Differences Explained 1) Static Stability – The First Reaction - Definition: How an aircraft initially responds to a disturbance (like turbulence). - Types: - Positive → Returns toward equilibrium (stable). -
