You have to have a current weight and balance. That doesn't mean you
can't have more than one. I do the same thing with my 182. I carry
three W+B's. One for all seats in, one for the rear seat removed and a
third for the rear and copilot seat removed. You are required to log
when you remove or replace a seat. Nobody does, but it is required.
And it's only required that it be written down, you can do it on a
napkin if you want.

You know, I've seen pilots do that for wheel fairings and seats. I've
always wondered if that's really legal? I mean, you'd have to have a
logbook entry stating what was done, then a W&B sheet done up. But, can a
prior logbook entry overrule a later entry? That's what I wonder about,
someday when I think of it I'll ask my local IA about it unless somebody
here knows how it's done, or if it's kosher.

The ones I know of were done by an A&P, but then I've seen A&P's do things
that are not legal as well thus my question.
