Quick question,

Has anyone found any good iPad electronic weight and balance applications suitable for military aircraft?

Regards,
PAF

Any iPad weight and balance will work with military aircraft - they can be configured for (almost) an type.

For me, APG iPreFlight is the best - but it also does performance and engine out procedures.

If it’s just weight and balance that you want, then Excel is your friend!

Not sure I agree, mate.

An application that simply has PAX stations isn't going to work for a platform that takes pallets.

Setting different G requirements or calculated max G based on W&B won't work on most civilian applications.

I could go on, but won't.

Excel could do most of what every flight planning application does with the right programming, but it's hardly satisfactory or gold standard.
