Nothing's simpler than changing a number in a spreadsheet and seeing values change. W&B on paper is easy but having an electronic version to play around with adjusting loading is even easier and it's quick.

Bryce, I suggest you learn Excel or Google Sheets. 8)


Sometimes I wish I wasn’t such a dumbass. I’ve been looking for a good W&B app for a while and have been frustrated with each I’ve tried. All along I’ve had a spreadsheet W&B I like and google sheets on my phone.

I keep it simple. This one for each flight.

I have different W&B sheets that go in the airplane for different configurations:
with / without back seat(s), big / small tires, etc.
