The clock on your aircraft runs slower as you accelerate, due to relativistic
effects. But then it also runs faster as you climb, again due to relativistic
effects. Do you take these effects into account in your on-board
calculations?


Only if I'm approaching light speed.
I also have to do a new weight & balance.


When you slow down you get heavy speed so the W&B shouldn't change
