Foreflight Weight & Balance Configuration
Hello Guys,
I'm having a little of a hard time setting up the W&B on Foreflight for the 300. My configuration is 7 seats no belted lav. Can someone send me a photo of your configurations settings on the app.
Thanks! -

07-22-2022, 05:41 PM #5This is likely a silly question, but wanted to validate what I see here. My aircraft has a BEW of 11355 and an arm of 300.22. Foreflight is looking for me to convert from inches to %MAC since that is what is it trying to output. Therefore, I need to use the %MAC calc on my BEW arm correct?
(300.22 - 264.57) x 100
-------------------------------- = 44.17
80.71
It all makes foreflight happy as entering 300.22 gives errors. I thought I would just document my thoughts in case others get stumped. I think APG did this automatically when I used them previously and I never had to convert for them.
Also - does it show a takeoff %MAC totaled somewhere other than looking at the envelope picture? -

By default, it is toggled OFF, which allows you to use/enter all stations arms in inches, then toggle it ON when done to have it calculate takeoff trim, which is shown on your runway analysis takeoff calculation page.
