Weight and Balance Pro is really easy to use. It makes it so there is no excuse in knowing your W/B. Not sure if it is on Android or not but for the Apple products it's sweet.

One simple trick I use (which can be used on any app) is to make myself a permanent part of the solution. For instance, on W&B Pro (that's the one I linked to above) I can enter my weight & station and make it a "hidden" field that doesn't need to be updated each time. I just use the slider for the copilot's weight. After all, if I'm computing a W&B I know exactly who's in the front left seat.
Sure, I vary by 5-10 lbs seasonally but it's close enough. ![]() |

Numbers Spreadsheet
Here is a screen shot of the spreadsheet I use. The neat thing here is it's all on one iPad screen plus it has a quick fuel calculation at the bottom as one is often juggling load vs distance / fuel. You can email this page or take a "snapshot" of the page for future reference. (Press 'home' button and on/off button simultaneously to take a snapshot on an iPad). This spreadsheet is in kg lit & knots for Australia. I have a version in lbs & gal only for USA.
