CFI Tools today announced the latest upgrades to the CFI Tools Weight and Balance App. The W&B App that has become the standard for General Aviation (GA) pilots now offers expanded functionality.

Before every flight a pilot must calculate Weight and Balance of the aircraft. Often done by hand in smaller GA aircraft the calculation, if it is done at all, can be inaccurate and time consuming. The Weight and Balance App has simplified and standardized this complex and sometimes confusing task.

The new V-Speed feature is a natural add-on for the W&B calculation. A pilot is required to know a long list of "memory items" about the aircraft including what airspeed should be used for each phase of flight. These are known as "V-Speeds". The V-Speed feature keeps these "memory items" at the pilots fingertips. These items aren’t limited to speeds, pilots use this feature to keep track of fuel capacity, oil requirements, flap settings or any other checklist item that the pilot needs at his fingertips.
