Summary Table
WingX’s Weight and Balance Summary Table consolidates the passenger, fuel,
and baggage information into a conventional looking table with weights, arms,
and moments. The Summary Table will list each station of the passengers,
baggage, and fuel. Passenger stations are shown in green, baggage stations are
shown in light red, and fuel stations are shown in blue. Note that this is
consistent with the color scheme used on the W&B envelope display.
The fuel calculations will be broken down into the zero fuel, ramp, takeoff, and
landing phases. In addition, for each CG that is calculated, WingX will display
the allowable range of CGs for that weight.
The Summary Table displays the Weight and Balance calculations in a table
which is in the same format as in most POHs; i.e. a weight x arm = moment
table. This table shows the actual data that is at the core of the weight and
balance calculations.
This is an excellent tool since it allows pilots to verify that WingX is using the correct arms for each station.
The Summary Table is equally an excellent tool for CFIs as it allows one to quickly verify and compare a
student’s weight and balance calculations prior to a flight.
Flight Safety
Please verify that the arm for each and every station is correct and that the
actual calculations, calculated CGs, maximum weights, envelope
adherence determinations are correct before using WingX extensively.
There is one option for the Summary Table:
• Show Summary CG Range – Selecting this option will cause WingX to display the allowable CG at
each phase of the flight. Note that these CG ranges are not taken from the POH, but rather are
calculated for the actual weight at that phase of flight using the selected envelope.
Full Screen
Selecting this option removes all controls from the screen other than the actual graphics portion and causes that
graphics portion to occupy the entire screen within WingX. This allow the actual graphical data points and line
to be viewed more accurately. Tapping on the graph will revert WingX back to non-Full Screen mode.
