iFlightPlanner now includes real-time aircraft weight & balance calculation graphs.

Each time you you calculate your aircraft's weight & balance, you'll have immediate visual feedback on the location of your Ramp, Takeoff and Landing center of gravity.

Green dots indicate your center of gravity is in an envelope. Red dots indicate your center of gravity is outside of your envelopes.

These graphs are now included on both our full web version and mobile version!

In the next couple days, we'll be releasing new versions of our  web-based flight planning interface and our complete mobile  interface.  If you have an iPhone or iPodTouch, you can easily add quick links to specific iFlightPlanner pages to your home screens. 

The first step is check the "Remember Me" box when signing into the new mobile interface, so that you don't have to sign in everytime you visit iFlightPlanner Mobile.

Once you've done that, just use the "+" sign at the bottom of Safari to add iFlightPlanner bookmarks to your iPhone or iPodTouch home screens for one touch access to aviation weather, including animated RADAR, color-coded METARs & TAFs and plain english NOTAMs at your primary airports!

One of the great features of iFlightPlanner is our mobile version, streamlined and custom designed for web-enabled handheld devices, including iPhones, BlackBerrys, Android and more.  All you need is a web browser on your mobile device.

To check it out, just visit http://m.iflightplanner.com and sign in using your iFlightPlanner account.
