Weight & Balance Calculator

Add a row per loading station with its weight and arm. The calculator totals the weight and moment and gives the centre of gravity.

Envelope limits
Within the simplified limits (2,358 lb ≤ 2,550 lb; CG 41.00 in between 35.0 and 47.3 in).

Simplified box check (max gross + a single fwd/aft CG limit). Real POH envelopes are weight-dependent and use each aircraft's own datum, so your station arms must match the selected type's datum. Reference and training only — always verify against your aircraft's current POH/AFM before flight.

How this works

For each station, moment = weight × arm. Then:

  • Total weight = sum of all station weights
  • CG = total moment ÷ total weight

Check the resulting weight and CG against your aircraft’s approved envelope in the POH/AFM. Units here are pounds and inches; keep your arms in the same datum.

For reference and training only. Not for navigation or flight planning — always verify against official current sources.
