Why not make your own in excel? Not difficult. All the formulas you need are in the 747 Weight & Balance manual.

At Atlas we have an excellent system, that's very dependable, it's called the LOADMASTER!

You know Ratty, of all the W&B programs I've used, I really liked that Excel one you've got. It's especially good as it doesn't ride on the back of a PAX system.

crossloads/centerloads etc etc all taken care of. DGR segregation is not part of the programme though.

As for sending you a copy, no way. Your company could contact CLX and ask them for a demo with a view to purchasing it...

Well said, there is always someone trying to get something for nothing.
