Airplane Weight and Balance Worksheet

This Excel workbook is an MAA Weight & Balance calculator designed to help pilots quickly verify loading for club aircraft. Select the aircraft, enter passenger/baggage values in the blue input cells, and the sheet will calculate takeoff/landing weight, CG/moment, remaining capacity, and plot the results on the applicable envelope charts, with an added Va (maneuvering speed) reference and a reminder that the pilot is responsible for final W&B verification.

Airplane Tug User Guide

This guide provides the club’s step-by-step procedures for safely operating the MAA electric “Best Tug,” including normal use, battery/charge status checks, and proper handling around aircraft. It also covers key safety and contingency items—such as the manual park override location and use—so members can move aircraft confidently and avoid equipment or aircraft damage.
