Weight & Balance

Weight & Balance has been integrated into VFRnav.

To make this evaluable for flight planning, proceed as follows:

First, select the respective aircraft in VFRnav to enter the baseline values.

w&b0

Then activate the gear icon next to the aircraft:

w&b1

In the aircraft configuration page, navigate to the Weight & Balance menu item

w&b3

On the following page, fill in all the data. The corresponding values can be found in the latest weighing report and in the aircraft manual. Note: please scroll down at certain points if necessary to see more fields.

w&b4

Of course, you update the fuel values and the pilot weight for each flight.

To do this, go to Flight Planning → Calculation.

Here, click on the aircraft registration and enter the corresponding values.

Then, in Flight Planning under -Calculation-, you can generate the PIB and see the integrated Weight & Balance. Here you can see whether you are within the limits (green dot positioned accordingly) or outside of the limits (dot turns red accordingly).

You can print the whole thing or share it as usual.

simply fly and pilot greetings,

Thanks, Karsten, as always, superbly written :ok_hand:
