N201MKTurbo Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 I'm not looking for a Weight and balance calculator, the world is full of them. I use ForeFlight. I need to redo the W&B for the plane including weighing it. I need to recreate the equipment list from the POH and didn't want to type it all in if I didn't have to. If anybody has a Mooney W&B equipment list in excel I would love a copy. When I was updating the W&B for the avionics upgrade I determined the last best W&B was inaccurate at best and I need to get it right. I have the scales lined up, but that is the easy part. Quote
jetdriven Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Pm me your email address. I have an excel spreadsheet we have used to update the w/b. Also when you make your logbook entry put the empty weight and the moment and the CG in the entry. That way if you lose the page out of the POH you don’t have to reweigh the airplane Edited January 3, 2018 by jetdriven Quote
donkaye, MCFI Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 This Weight and Balance Program was elegantly designed by a student of mine. "Read me" describes how it works and is very simple to understand. This program accounts for seat movement forward and backward. Weight and Balance N201NB 0 M20J V3.9.xlsx 1 Quote
jetdriven Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 He wants to draw up a new weight and balance and equipment list, not calculate weight and balance for flight Quote

I've had a very similar one for about 20 years. Also adapt it as needed. But not as well documented as this one so I don't share it. Quote
