Just be sure you base your chart on data from actual trials in your own
aircraft.

Many numbers in the Cessna POH were evidently obtained with trained test
pilots, flying new, perfectly waxed and rigged airplanes and doing it over
and over until they got the numbers the marketing group wanted.

I'm currently working at creating an Excel file on my Palm that would

allow
me to easily calculate the distances for take off and landing on my 172

ofr
every situation...

Does anyone of you use this kind of file (with a chart) for the "weight

and
balance",would it be possible to have a copy or an example of the file

that
I could use with my own numbers.

Thank you and good flight to you all
