I may have missed it somewhere but a easy to use Weight & Balance calculator in flight planning would be very helpful. The ability to email or export the results would also be very helpful. Thanks for a great app! 

Hi Orovilleguy and Cobra - Weight and Ballance calculations are made for spreadsheets.  If you have a spreadsheet app on your phone or tablet, contact me and I'd be glad to send a copy of my Excel Wt. & Bal. spreadsheet to you - just contact me.  My sheet is for my Cessna 172, however the plane has a 180 HP engine so the numbers not standard.  But, the sheet would be easy to modify for any plane.  Oh, my sheet also has a graph showing the C.G. limits and how the C.G. moves as fuel is burned.  The graph might not work for all spreadsheet apps out there but the calculation part is pretty simple and should work in any SS app.   -  Jim Williams

Hi Cobra - I'll try attaching my spreadsheet here: Well, that didn't work.  I'll try a print screen file:  Well, that worked - I'll try the xlsx file again:  OK - the xlsx filed uploaded this time. It helps to know how to attach files to a post!  Anyway, the file seems to be working if you save a copy of it from this post.  If you have any questions about how to use it, just post your questions here.  Of course you know that your aircraft's weight and arm data can be found in  you a/c owner's handbook.  -  Jim Williams
