Weight and Balance form

I've been looking for a good W&B form ever since we weighed the C180 after the rebuild. My friend/A&P is working in corporate management as well as maintaining credentials and is maybe a little sick of seeing me after a long year. So, do any of you have a good, blank W&B form that would work well for a 180? We are currently legal, with inked in changes on the old form, but something clean and new would be really great. Thanks!

Bigrenna has a great W&B form for a C-180.

This is what I designed and use on customers A/C. I have one for a 170, 172, 180/185, and 182... They take me about an hour to customize, so I ask for a nominal fee. Shoot me a PM if you'd like one.

Nice, very comprehensive.
Covers the bases not only for empty W&B, but also for different loading scenarios.

I've been using the W&B in foreflight, it's for a my 185 amphib, but you could tweak it, PM me of you want me to send it to you.

I love ForeFlight's W&B and live by it but need the legal docs too. BigRena's form is exactly what I was looking for and is pretty much perfect so we are going to work out a deal.

Re: Weight and Balance form

I typed up a W&B revision for a recent mod, but instead my IA wanted to use the W&B program that's included in some software he uses. The completed form doesn't say whose it is, but it does have "Form ZA-AWBR16" down in the bottom corner, so I suspect it's from "The AD Toolbox" or some other related software from Zook Aviation Inc. It was sure a lot easier than typing up a sheet, doing the math, trying to get the spacing right, etc-- just open the program, enter the numbers, & hit print.
