Thanks for the link George, Did you write this?


No! I'd like to have though

Its a nice piece of
work , but as another poster mentions, oil should be included in the
MT wt, as should unusable fuel. As you prolly know I wrote my own in
Excel which can be downloaded (along with some other applications) athttp://www.straightandleveldownunder.net/index.html

Mine, I think is more idiot proof ( it had to be , I wrote it
basically for myself) and gives clear error messages if any
parameters are exceeded. It includes oil and unusable fuel in the MT
wt, but you still enter total fuel as that is what you measure when
you dip your tanks.

Thanks Terry.
I found it while looking up Weight and Balance for the same mark of
C172 I flew (ZK-CFD)
But I'm going to link to your one and run the same numbers
