Get weight and balance-and more-on your cell phone

By General Aviation News Staff · August 19, 2005 ·

Smartsoft has released a new version of Flight WTK 2.1, its weight and balance software for mobile phones.

Flight WTK enables pilots to perform weight and balance on their cell phones in as little as 40 seconds. Flight WTK, which uses the mobile phone as a computing device, also gives pilots the ability to download data for their aircraft models in addition to manual installation.

While Flight WTK 2.1 contains improvements over the previous version, it also brings several new features to pilots. Flight WTK 2.1 now calculates and visualizes crosswind and runway info. Runway, crosswind and headwind components are shown in the display. Wind velocity, wind degrees and runway heading can be spun up and down while looking at the image.
