Long story short, version 1.01 is currently in the app store but I have 53,000 (max struct. to limit) 47,000 (max land limit) and 44,000 (max ZFW) currently hard coded as the absolute limitation... I've heard of different airlines having different limitations so I'd like to ask you 200 drivers out there if you have limitations that are different to the ones Ive listed above, not including min flight weight or max ramp weight. I only need those 3 limitations if yours are different so that way I can incorporate it on the next version of my app, which is actually FREE! Feel free to download it if you'd like... If the moderators would let me, here's the link:

Your numbers ring a bell. If I am recalling correctly you can even get a -100 certified to -200 weights, with an LOA.
If you could get the FAA to give it their blessing you could have a potentially rewarding career opportunity. Especially if you could do performance tailored for 757, 767, 777, A380 etc. If it saves time & money, the 121 world wants it.
I've used Ultranav before for a Part 91 outfit and it's perfectly legal as far as W&B goes. As long as your programming has the exact numbers at the Manufacturers data... they'll approve it.
Well done man... Looks like your on to something.
