MD-80 loadsheet - Adjusted Weight Loading System.

Does anyone out there have a sample MD-82 loadsheet ? I'm designing a combination load and trim sheet and would like to look at what is out there.

I have a sample from Transmeridian. They use the Adjusted Weight method along with tables for each combination of pax, fuel, cargo. I plan on designing a computerized version that plots the ZFW,TOW, and LDW within the envelope using a y-axis of weight in lbs and an x-axis of index units, and including % MAC lines.

While at it does anyone know the formula to calculate the Adjusted Weight using % MAC. Confirm the basic weight is rounded up to the nearest 100, and the % MAC is added to this figure.

e.g.

Basic weight: 82251, % MAC: 34.9
Basic weight rounded up: 82300
Adjusted weight = 82300 + 34.9
= 82334.9
The last two digits represent the % MAC = 4.9.

Does this sound right ?

Thanks
