iOS Weight and Balance application

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.
