This calculator is presented for educational purposes only. You, as pilot in command, are solely responsible for assuring correct data and proper loading of your aircraft prior to flight.
- Empty weight and C.G. data comes from your AC current weight & balance records.
- Station arms, load limits, and airspeed limits come from the Airplane Flight Manual (before 03-01-79) or Pilot's Operating Handbook [POH] (after 03-01-79) [pop-up more detail], or the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS). Downloading the TCDS is recommended to learn more about your AC.
Here's a useful form for your AC documentation: Basic Weight Change Record -

- FAA Type Certificate Data Sheets - Current Models by Make (TC Holder)
- Get the data straight from the horse's mouth; find and download a PDF copy of the TCDS for your airplane here.
- Historical information on the Cessna 170
- On the International Cessna 170 Association site
- Edwards AFB Aero Club
- Here you can download an Excel spreadsheet [Weight & Balance] that has clever features like an active graph of the load limits with an instant plot point of the calculated load, a conditional format of the gross weight cell so that the value turns red if the max gross is exceeded. Very cool!
- Cessna 172 G-BSEP Weight and Balance Calculator
- This page, by D. Williams of the UK, is similar to what we're doing here, but his scheme of using CSS to make an active plot of the calculated load on the limits graph is elegant! We grabbed some of his CSS code and experimented with it.
