+====== Weight & Balance ======
+The **W&B** panel allows you to prepare a weight and balance sheet for a flight.
+[{{ :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:
+  * **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
+===== Calculation result =====
+[{{:leon:flight-weight_and_balance:wb_all_green.png?200 |W&B calculation result - all weights and CG are within the limits}}]
+This section shows the result of W&B calculations - the position of the CG and aircraft weights versus structural limits.
+For each structural weight limit, the difference between the structural limit and the actual weight will be shown.
+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
