 Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2010 5:54 pm Post subject: AC Weight and Balance App |
 |
|
Well, I got an Android phone right before Christmas and since it is an open architecture I decided to try and hack out a weight and balance app for the phone. After a lot of learning…..I got it done. If you have the appropriate hardware, let me know what you think. It can be found in the Android market, under Applications, Tools. The name is AC Weight and Balance. If you sort by date, it will be at the top….for a little while at least.
The main screen allows you to put in the front seat weight, rear seat weight, baggage weight and fuel weight.
Show chart…..shows chart
Settings button leads you to the settings for both the graph and AC
AC1 … AC4 – lets you create settings for 4 aircraft.
If you hit the menu button, you will get two choices…Home and Empty CG Calc
The Empty CG Calc gives you the ability to calc an empty CG based on wheel weights. If you hit the save button, it becomes the empty weight for that aircraft.
I am not a software engineer……but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn before…
Your mileage may vary. J

on the topic of this... a co-worker was itching to try to write an app for the Iphone, and I told him that one of my personal pet peeves was the lack of focus by many pilots on weight and balance. The biggest reason for this is that it can get complicated, so it gets overlooked, or "eyeballed". He wrote an app for Iphone that is pretty simple, but I've found to be extremely handy. For me, I'm always really interested to correlate the behavior of the aircraft with where the CG is on any given flight, and this lets me do that. he also used my RV-8 for the logo, so I have a bit of a bias!
