iOS version

caption

The aircraft profile includes a weight and balance section where you can enter the weights/arm locations and the envelope values. When a profile is selected you can compute weight and balance with the W&B Calc tool under "Tools" menu or under "Aircraft Details".

caption






Once everything is set and all the values are entered, the calculation will be reflected on a graph, under «Tools» menu.


caption

On the screenshot at the upper-right, you will see the fields to complete. The weights for seats, baggage and misc will be entered from the «Tools» menu AFTER the rest of the data has been already completed. The same happens with the amount of fuel.


Note: you need to enter at least 4 points for envelope data.

Example on W&B tool

In order to complete data related to the aircraft's nature, you MUST use a certified manual of the aircraft's model.

caption
This is NOT a certified calculator.



Let's first complete the data concerning the aircraft's specifications. We'll take a C150 as an example.

caption





In order to complete the «Envelope» data, the values are taken from the CG Envelope Graph.

We proceed with the Seats, Fuel and Baggage, as shown in the screenshot.

Note: The Miscellaneous part is optional.

caption
After the module is completed, we then make sure to have the Aircraft profile selected from the aircraft list (see the green mark on the left side of the profile).



Finally, we go to the «Tools» menu and we select the «W&B Calc» panel, from where we will complete with the weights and fuel information:

Note: once we have the module complete, we proceed to press on the button «Calculate».



Desktop version

The Weight and Balance module will allow you to use the following tools for when flight planning:

caption It is necessary to have the aircraft operative manual to complete this module.

Air Navigation Desktop will compute all the required values and drop the final results on the Envelope graph. This will show whether the aircraft is balanced or not.

caption
The results of the Weight and Balance Graph are not certified by any aviation authorities.


Here's a diagram to give you an idea of what values are involved in the final results:
