IndyTim Posted December 8, 2012 Report Posted December 8, 2012 Does anyone have W&B worksheets for their J or 231 post? I want to play with some various trip scenarios, see how these two planes fit with the various missions we're contemplating. I'm looking at both 201s and 231s, so both versions are of use to me. Thank you Quote
Cabanaboy Posted December 8, 2012 Report Posted December 8, 2012 Pretty sure there's an APP for that, I use Flightplan App(by Pilots Tool Box), among others. Get Foreflight or Wing X to, must have app. Quote
Cabanaboy Posted December 8, 2012 Report Posted December 8, 2012 Below link has some aircraft POH, look in left margin of site. http://www.deltaaviationllc.com/ Quote
Greg_D Posted December 8, 2012 Report Posted December 8, 2012 If you have an iPad or iPhone, do a search in the App Store for W&B Pro. Great little app that will do exactly what you are looking for! 1 Quote
jwilkins Posted December 8, 2012 Report Posted December 8, 2012 I have a simple XLS spreadsheet set up for my K. You can plug in weights of PX, baggage, gallons of fuel (main and aux), and it will show available payload (plus or negative), and CG Anyone who would like a copy please PM an email address to me. I'll be traveling next week but will respond as possible, otherwise, I'll catch up when get back from CA. Acceptable CG limits vary with weight so you still need to check the graph. I didn't get that into the spreadsheet. Jim Quote
ToddDPT Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 Agree with Greg. W&B Pro is the way to go! Quote
IndyTim Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Posted December 9, 2012 Agree with Greg. W&B Pro is the way to go! Except if you have an Android! I've refused to drink the Apple kool-aid, to date. Although based upon the availability of aviation-related apps I sense an iPad in my future. Quote
carusoam Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 I used excel, but the pc revolution is dead. WnB from the app store seams to work well. I tried to post a screen shot, but am unable... Best regards, -a- Quote

Hector Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 WnB pro Screen shot attached. I have a regular excel spreadsheet if you like but WnB is just as good and much more convenient. Quote
carusoam Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 Thanks HR. you have made the point very clearly. WnB = accurate + convenient for the apple gang. Best regards, -a- Quote
Greg_D Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 I don't get the whole Apple Kool-Aide stuff. You don't have to drink any beverages to use their products. Just buy what works and use it, no evangalizing needed. 2 Quote
carusoam Posted December 10, 2012 Report Posted December 10, 2012 Greg, Sorry. I was trying to share my experience with some detail. It appears that I am short on cash. So I only have the iPad 1. WnB may work on other platforms, I just don't know. Other people still prefer paper. Whatever you choose is ok with me. Best regards, -a- Quote
flyby201 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Posted December 10, 2012 There is also this: http://home.roadrunner.com/~trumpetb/alph/wbM20J.html. Just verify the numbers for your aircraft before using. Quote
flyby201 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Posted December 10, 2012 Well, let me try that again. http://home.roadrunner.com/~trumpetb/alph/wbM20J.html Quote
carusoam Posted December 10, 2012 Report Posted December 10, 2012 That works nicely... The Cessna graph was interesting. They had several possible load schemes already graphed out, fom single pilot with low fuel to fully loaded.... And everything in between... And worked from my iPad, at least while connected to the Internet.... Best regards, -a- Quote
Jeff_S Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 Also on the app front, you could download and try CoPilot. This is a flight-planning tool that was way out ahead of it's time...I first used it on the old Palm Tréo device, but it migrated to the iPhone pretty quickly. It has a full featured W&B calculator, that can also be tied into a flight plan so you can see what your numbers are both on takeoff and landing, all plotted on the familiar W&B chart. I don't use the flight planning features anymore but I still do use the W&B whenever I am carrying more than my normal load. Quote
M016576 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 Pilot Wizz for the iPhone/iPad. Has a fantastic W&B portion as well as multiple calculators and other features. I highly recommend it! Quote
Cabanaboy Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 FlightPlan App - Pilots Tool Box; Flightplan HD is the version for Ipad. Above is Great app for Weight and Balance and a few hundred other things... FlightScale is a Weight and Balance only. Flightplan also avail for android. http://warbredstudios.com/ https://itunes.apple...d285584976?mt=8 Quote
