I am very good friends with the CP at MWR and they use outside vendors for perf data. My point is few 91 operators will use it. As a former PIC on a CRJ the g whiz stuff only goes so far then one has to go with reality. If you think load plan is wrong and pull out the PDA for your argument, you first mistake will be to pull out the PDA. I wish I could program an APP like that. Many kudos! But regs and laws are just that. Lawyers are every where. Part 91 is fine, anything else is too risky....

Not that it makes a difference but Mesaba used to have a cell phone app running off some off brand flip phone style phone crunching the "legal" numbers for Saab W&B. So using a phone for legal weight and balance in 121 ops is not unheard of...

If you are going to sell the data to individuals, please provide the under writer that you will use for insurance purposes. Good idea, but how would anyone legally use it? Part 91 maybe anything else is a liability. Like the idea, just not sure if one looks at the legal risks it would be worth it for anything other than part 91 ops. If one can even find a 91 CL-65 operator that does not use a licensed flight planning service... Just sayin

What a great idea. How about one for the 700/900? Or just make this work for all three...
When I finally get un-furloughed, we won't have any more -200s at Mesa. Just those other pesky, not-so-shiny jets.
Thanks!!!

I've been waiting on whether or not to make a 700/900 version. I wasn't quite sure if they were as weight critical as the 200

Thanks! I tried it the first time and I guess my fat fingers didn't want to make it work. Tried it again, and now I can edit those fields...excellent!
More than anything else, this app just shows that there's more to life than flying... there's writing cool iOS apps if you've got the skillz.
