Professional, fully managed weight and balance.
Most airlines run a dedicated flight operations weight and balance team. Every other operator gets American Aeronautics. We build, audit and maintain your aircraft’s data — you enter the load.
Accuracy and compliance
The gap most operators don’t know they have.
Weight and balance accuracy is a compliance obligation resting on documents — weighing reports, equipment lists, modification records — that commonly contain errors. We audit yours, correct them, and maintain the result for the life of the aircraft.
Built for your aircraft
Data you can defend
- CG envelopes developed from your source documents, not crowd-sourced buildups
- Fuel data that follows the true burn sequence of your fuel system
- CG arm data verified for every station and compartment
Audited from your records
Every document, checked
- Aircraft weighing reports
- Equipment change records
- Modification and STC paperwork
Fully managed means exactly that. The only thing you enter is the loading scenario.
What we build
Run the numbers without doing the arithmetic.

iFly Weight & Balance
It already knows your aircraft.
Add your passengers, baggage, takeoff fuel and landing fuel. That is the entire workflow. Even the most complex loading scenario resolves in a matter of seconds.
- Your aircraft, already programmed
- There are no CG limits to program and no fuel moment data to enter. We customize the software to your exact aircraft specifications before it reaches you.
- Violations turn red
- Too far forward? The forward CG limit turns red. Within limits, it stays black. You see the answer before you finish loading.
- Exact fuel burn sequence
- For complex fuel systems, iFly depicts the precise burn sequence of your aircraft rather than a simplified approximation.
- Dynamic curtailment
- Supports dynamic curtailing of the CG envelope as prescribed in AC 120-27F and your applicable Operations Specifications.
