Computerized weight and balance

If you want to build a spreadsheet for this the formulae for the fore and aft c of g limits are not in the POH. You can get them from the Type Certificate Data Sheet which may vary with each model. The aft limit is quite simple as it is a straight line. The forward limit changes with increase in gross wt.
I have run several scenarios for an E model and it's very difficult to get it outside the limits. Max weight in luggage compartment and very light pilot might bust the aft limit otherwise if you load as per the weight limits at each station it stays within the limits.
You will need to alter the attached spreadsheet for your aircraft and make sure the results match the POH method before relying on it.
I have a version that will run on your iPad, you just need to buy the "Numbers" ap.

This is the best W&B app out there. You can have multiple aircraft and it works great. On the iPad is so convenient because you have it with you anyway. Just another great reason to have the iPad in the cockpit.

It's only $5.99

Thanks Herb, that would have saved me a LOT of bother! I like the idea of emailing the load sheet once you're done.

Herb;
Quick question. Does it let you save flight data? And if so, is there any way to print from it? Angel Flight requires a piece of paper to be faxed or mailed to them for each flight. Thanks.

Downloaded this app and yes, sure does let you email directly from an iPad.

After fooling around with this for a few days it really is a neat app. However, it is now $6.99...you got a good deal Herb!

Hello ALL.
I have a friend that customized an Excel spreadsheet for 4200 gross weight Skymaster!! We in the CAP use the Excel spreadsheet for all our airplane. It works great-best of all it's FREE!!
If any one needs a copy let me know. You have to have Excel though.
