Weight and Balance Sheet for a Comanche 250 or 260

Weight and Balance Sheet for a Comanche 250 or 260

Postby Jim Golden » Wed Sep 02, 2015 2:12 am

Hi Gang,

Once again, I have spent 90 minutes on here looking for something that is probably a "Sticky" and I missed it. Sorry!

I want the weight and balance sheet for a 250 or a 260. I want to basically say "Here's my 215lbs, my wife's 140lbs, my daughter's 110lbs, and my son's 80lbs, with 200lbs of junk in the baggage compartment, full tanks, full tip tanks, and see if the thing is in CG.

Can someone please either give me the .pdf, the spreadsheet, or the link on here to where I find this data? I know it must be on here, but I must be the world's worst searcher :)


Thank you,

Jim

Look for an App called Aviation W&B. Fill in the info from your A/C as a template and it's easy to use on an IPAD or IPhone.

These are for a 180, but I'm sure you could modify one to suit your needs.

Here's mine for my 61 250. It does the math and graphs it for you. You'll need to unlock the cells to change the basic info to meet your aircraft. Once you change it, I recommend locking them back, that will keep you from inadvertently changing data that you don't want to. Hope this helps.

If you use ForeFlight for your travels, it will do that for you.

Matt,

I think W&B is only available with the Pro version of Firelight.

Jim, Mike, thanks for the spreadsheets. Just what I was after.

Everybody, thanks for all the replies. I don't have foreflight yet, but plan to soon.

Would somebody have a scan of the relevant pages in the Piper manual? I'd like to look on there too.

Take care!

Jim
