Unless I've completely misunderstood the context, W&B for a light single is a couple of minutes with pencil and paper. What's the need for computer gadgets? Well, no one NEEDS a powered lawn mower either. It is a matter of convience. A decent utility is usually faster than pencil and paper and less error prone. A graphical display give you a better feel for where you are in the envelope. Ones like copilot that are integrated in the planning will show you your WB on the ramp, TO, and landing automatically, which is a big plus for some aircraft. The speed of doing the calculations makes it easier to shuffle people, baggage, and fuel to get within the envelope. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
