I've developed a Weight & Balance calculator for it. A free version is available on the Android Market. Just search for "Appventive".

Main features:

Supports most single-engine piston airplanes
Can be configured for any number of different aircraft
Supports both US and Metric units
Calculates maximum fuel allowed for a given passenger and baggage loading (taking into account CG as well as weight)
Supports both AvGas and Jet-A (based on SG)
Share W & B reports via email
Keep a log of changes to aircraft profiles
Load balancing: get both weight shift & ballast suggestions when CG is out of bounds.


Details and screen shots available at Weight and Balance Calculator (Appventive) (http://www.appventive.com/WeightAndBalance)

If you do try it out, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

Cheers,
Steve

Cheers.

what SDK do you use to develop Android programs? Is there a free version available for download anywhere?

I used to mess around with CE making flying apps, and it would be quite handy to write a few progs.

Thanks.

Yes, actually Android is completely open source. To get started, visit

Android Developers (http://developer.android.com/index.html)

Let me know if you have any questions (I can't promise I'll know the answer, but I might:-).

Cheers,
Steve

Good work! Wish I had a compatible phone!

On that note, does anybody know of a similar app for the iPhone?

Cheers :ok:

Do you need a Yuppy phone ?

I'd like a Wt. and Bal. for a Cessna 182 P - happy to use it on XP.
