-====== ======+====== Weight Balance ====== 
 +The **W&B** panel allows you to prepare a weight and balance sheet for a flight. 
  
  
-In Leon 3.0 **Weight Balance** panel allows you to manually adjust details.+[{{ :leon:flight-weight_and_balance:weight_and_balance_pdf_example.png?300|Example of a W&B sheet (PDF) prepared in Leon}}] 
 +===== Sections ===== 
 +The form is split into sections, in which you can edit the weight of each station taken into account during the W&B calculations: 
  
-The section W&B is divided into several parts:+  * **Configuration** - allows selecting aircraft configuration other than the default (if available) 
 +  * **MTOW** - shows aircraft's MTOW 
 +  * **Crew Pantry** - the place where you can edit weights for crew & pantry stations 
 +  * **Passengers** - in this section, you can edit PAX weights on the flight 
 +  * **Baggage** - the weight of the luggage (and/or cargo, mail, etc.) on the flight 
 +  * **Fuel** - the weight of fuel planned as a block, taxi and trip fuel
  
-  * **CONFIGURATION** showing MTOW value+===== Calculation result ===== 
-  * **Fuel** fuel weight for BlockTaxi and Trip+[{{:leon:flight-weight_and_balance:wb_all_green.png?200 |W&B calculation result - all weights and CG are within the limits}}] 
-  * **Passengers** - the weight of pax in particular seats+This section shows the result of W&B calculations the position of the CG and aircraft weights versus structural limits. 
-  * **Crew Pantry** - crew & pantry weight. + 
-  * **Baggage** baggage weight (i.e. tailcone and cabin baggage). +For each structural weight limitthe difference between the structural limit and the actual weight will be shown.  
-  * **Result** +Weights within the structural limits and with CG within the envelope are green, while weights beyond structural limits or with CG beyond the envelope are red. There is also a green tick or a red triangle to indicate if the W&B results are correct.  
 + 
 +Next to the **Result** section, there is a 'Preview' button, which opens a PDF file with a W&B sheet.

 +<box>**Weight Balance functionality is optional and involves an additional charge per tail. Some aircraft types are not supported.** </box> 
 + 
 +In order to set up Weight and Balance for an aircraft, contact us via [[http://support.leonsoftware.com/|Customer Portal]], letting us know the details or sending us the documents containing them, as follows: 
 +  Aircraft type 
 +  - Aircraft registration 
 +  - Aircraft S/N 
 +  - Units of measurement to be used 
 +  - CG envelope geometry (CG limitations) 
 +  - Aircraft configuration (an arm of each station of the aircraft)  
 +  - Maximum and default weights for each station  
 +  - Position of the CG depending on the weight of the fuel on board 
 +  - Actual and up-to-date basic empty weight and moment (or weight and arm- aeroplane weighing form 
 + 
 +It is recommended to provide:  
 +  - Aircraft operating manual - chapter 'Weight and Balance' 
 +  - Aircraft operating manual - chapter 'Limitations' 
 +  - Aircraft Weight and Balance manual 
 +  - The most recent aeroplane weighing form
