Location and astronomical estimate settings
The estimate is calculated from the entered coordinates, date and time zone using a solar-position algorithm (sunset −0.833°, civil twilight −6°). It is not a direct NAIPS or Geoscience Australia feed. For operational planning, enter verified published values above. NAIPS · Geoscience Australia

Daily loading and conditions
All loading masses are in kg. Empty aircraft: 3,275 kg at 743 mm; calculated empty moment 2,433,325 kg·mm. PT6A-67F · 1,416 L usable · no Swathmaster or additional crew seat.

Station arms use the supplied AFM inch values converted exactly to mm: pilot 2,133.6; baggage 2,667; rinse −706.12; usable fuel 838.2; hopper 520.7. The empty arm uses your confirmed 743 mm exactly. Station-specific load limits and a maximum landing-weight check are not provided by the supplied pages.

Weight and balance plots
Blue marks identify the five loading states; red marks indicate a calculated point outside the selected CG envelope. The table highlights the next published temperature and altitude at or above your entries. Dashed cells are unavailable, never extrapolated.

Maximum takeoff weight table
Performance chart traces
Guided manual chart readings. Temperature and takeoff-mass guides are positioned automatically; you select the pressure-altitude and weight-curve intersections. Curve values have not been digitised or automatically validated. No distance or climb result is produced until both points are selected.
Open a chart, zoom in, then select the temperature/altitude intersection first and the corresponding weight-curve intersection second. Only the selected height is used; the x position is locked to the input guide. Blue solid segments show the chart construction. No straight-line approximation is drawn across the curved weight section.
Daily PDF record
The downloaded PDF contains the inputs, calculation tables, loading-state plots, original performance charts with selected traces, source-image fingerprints, timestamp and report ID. A data file is also available for retaining the exact inputs.
Reports remain draft until all inputs, readings and review checks are complete.
Reports are generated on this device. The site does not keep a central audit archive. Save each downloaded report in your operator’s records. A report records calculations and user review; it is not an operational approval.
