ncdmtb Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 Can anyone recommend a good ipad app for weight and balance? Quote
Will W Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 WnB Pro. It has sliders instead of numbers for its "data entry" section so that you can instantly see how weight will change your CG. Setting it up is easy if you have a good understanding of weight and balance... ie station locations, weight limits, CG envelope limits, etc. Quote
danb35 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 This thread (just a few down) has more discussion of the subject: http://mooneyspace.com/topic/6113-weight-and-balance-app/ Quote
ncdmtb Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Posted May 26, 2013 Does anyone have experience using the Sporty's App? It only has 3 reviews in itunes, but all 5 stars. I need one that also works well with metric, WnB pro (based on current itunes reviews) appears to have issues here. Quote
Steve Dawson Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 Just downloaded Xavion and found the W&B pretty useful. Plus it has a unique PFD function that's a valuable standby and a map that will also function as a engine out best glide guide. Quote
RocketAviator Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 I too have Xavion & Seattle Avionics Voyager both work well but the Xavion is the quickest and easiest to setup and use. I have a Excel spreadsheet that I created which graphs a chart so you can see the data much like what Xavion & Voyager display. If you want to PM me you email I can email it to you. You can easily modify it from pounds or kilos etc! fly safe, Rocket On Quote
Mooneymite Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 I use the fltplan.com wt/bal app on my andoid device. Don't they also have an iPad version? It's free and it works great on my C model once I got the pre-sets done. A nice feature is that it's available on any FBO Internet computer even if I don't have my tablet with me. Quote
