Also - it is NOT "otherwise accepted industry-wide to use computers or iPads to do this". Part 135 EFB programs aren't that common, and you can't just use your own iPad to do any of these calculations when flying a multi turbine under 135. And at least in my previous 135 shop, even though we got EFBs, we still had to carry manual backup for W&B and know how to do them by hand.
Agreed - my P135 is required to do W&B manually and it is in the training program every year. You do not necessarily have to have a EFB program though IOT do W&B electronically. We do W&B using an Excel spreadsheet.
