E6B with W&B (free trial and free if you buy their portable copilot) Pocket FMS (www.pocketfms.com) brilliant free fight planning moving map GPS etc etc for PC and PDA. I use it exclusively - has W&B with graphs on both PDA and PC (and did I say it's free). If you pay US$60 you become a donor get better maps and better bandwidth. It's European (I'm in Australia), but covers the globe. Great support, active forum monitored almost 24x7 by the devlopers (yes, you actually talk, well forum, with the guys that write the software). The W&B is great on the PDA - just select Airplane on the menu - you can have many aircraft with W&B for each. Well worth a look - and did I say it's free - I have no other connection with them other than a happy user. Got rid of my Garmin GPS III Pilot and replaced it with Pocket FMS - a good choice. If you own a PDA (I run it on both and ipaq Hx4700 (big screen) and an imate jam (phone and small screen, but good backup) without problems). HTH and YMMV... Cheers, Kevin "Peter" wrote in message ... I am after a simple W&B calculator for a PDA, with a few E6B calculations (density altitude, say) but nothing else. I am looking at various candidates that appear to offer a graphical W&B envelope display: Aeroplanner Airplan Flightcalc Load Balance NavigaCE Niborex PocketFMS SA Flightcalc Teletype GPS WingX I recall trying Flightcalc a while ago and it was clearly hard-coded for 320x240... Obviously I have written to these firms but one rarely gets a meaningful reply. I am just trying to avoid spending a whole day downloading and installing free trial versions ![]() Thank you for any feedback... Peter. -- Return address is invalid to help stop junk mail.

I've been using the prog (www.pocketfms.com) in the UK for about 3
years and wouldn't consider anything else. Remember you can use it for free but when you see how well it works you'll want to donate for the improved maps. Not that there's much wrong with the basic maps. I do all my flight planning, including holidays abroad, using the prog.
