- - Need help with CRJ200 W&B App. (https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/regional/65909-need-help-crj200-w-b-app.html)

what's half WT and half CT? Also I see that the default PAX is at 195... did America just gained another 6 lbs? hehe

is there a way to put number of bags as opposed to lbs? ie... how many carry ons, checked, heavy, misc cargo? perhaps in the next update? this is awesome! GREAT job!

When you are up in front of the FAA and their attorney's explaining why you used a phone app to calculate the W&B for your flight instead of using the certified company numbers or approved vendor numbers? So again what is the point??

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

Here we go :rolleyes:

I'm still debating whether or not it should be number of bags... I wanted to put all the info on one page. Putting all that info, checked, heavy, misc etc... will require another page.... maybe I will create a more in depth version of it. Perhaps in the next update. Glad you like it.

If you use my idea, chip me off 10%. I keed I keed....kind of

I initially wanted to do that BlueMoon, again perhaps on the next update I will so 700/900 and other airplanes can use it. Again I wanted to stick to the 1 page format and keep it simple. But if enough people request it, perhaps I will make a separate preference page where you can change your settings for limitations, passengers (instead of the default of 50+1) etc... Tell you what, if I ever become a millionaire because of pocketACARS, drinks on me. :D

Nope, once in a while we would need to move people from the back into first class on the Avro. Can't remember ever moving anyone back and never came close on maxing out any weights other that topping off the fuel tanks.

I just down loaded it, I think its great !!!! Very quick tool to help at the gate when the agents are asking about number of people and bags etc.

And for those jumping down this guys throat thinking that a captain would use this app instead of the correct company methods , get a life , what apps have you made !?!?

Impressive to say the least.

They all were modified to 53k sometime in 2006

How about a toggle between English and Metric for those of us who fly these ****boxes overseas? Nice for planning purposes. Good job. Android version for the great unwashed?

MTOW: 24,040
MLW: 21,319
BOW-est: 14,500
ZFW: 19,985

MAX FUEL: 6,585
MAX CARGO: 1,580

PAX-est: 85
BAG-est: 14
