Should be mandatory on all aircraft IMHO. Pax aircraft aren't immune. There have been at least three tailstrikes to my knowledge due to the TOW entered into performance calculations being 100 tonnes light.

I used to fly 744s with WABCs (Weight And Balance Computers) which is similar to STAN and it's a great gross error checker.
