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.

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

He wants to draw up a new weight and balance and equipment list, not calculate weight and balance for flight ;)

But you'd have to read the first sentence of the post to know that! :P

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.

That looks a lot like Roy Epperson's spread sheet he did for his F a long time ago and put in the public domain. Yes, it is the gold standard IMO

for some reason it won't let me PM you.

Yes it is.  I've adapted it to every airplane I've flown since it came out--including twins.

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.
