I have tried the Weight & Balance app mentioned by others, and will be
using it - just what I needed, It is called Appentive W & B. I also
have the Aviation Weather from NOAA/NWS, which is also quite useful. I
haven't found any other non-airline aviation apps as of yet.

To cover the "Official Briefing" issue I experimented with obtaining a
Duats briefing by way of the browser. It works fine, but I am
concerned with the matter of
keeping it available for reference. If you make no further use of the
browser, the last page accessed will remain. However, it is all too
easy to inadvertently send
the browser off to somewhere else - and it's gone. There appears to be
no way to store a web page - and obtaining a replacement may be
impossible
depending on the circumstances. As a work around I came up with the
idea of obtaining the Duats briefing on another computer, saving the
page, then
emailing it to myself as an attached file. This works, and once
accessed this file appears to be retained in the Gmail inbox for
further access as needed.
