CRJ200 Weight and Balance Load Planning Tool:This is a planning-only tool for CRJ200 pilots to help resolveloading issues before the passenger boarding begins for eachflight. It mimics the CRJ 200 Load Manifest form and gives a GO orNO-GO advisory for each situation along with an estimated minimumand maximum cargo weight limit for a hypothetical passenger countof 45 to 50, given the entered data. Any out-of-bounds parameterswill be flagged in red.This application is advisory only and is not a legal substitutefor an official manual or ACARS Load Manifest. Since this tool’spurpose is to plan for overweight conditions, if no Passenger IndexNumber (PIN) is entered, it assumes the most rearward CG by placingall empty seats near the front of the aircraft. Therefore, apassenger zone count or PIN is not required for planning.NOTES:-- The Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW), Fuel Curve Boundary Point (FCBP)and Take-Off Weight (TOW) and their respective indices will exactlymatch the manual manifest as long as all empty seats are toward thefront of the aircraft for the most advantageous rearward CG or theappropriate PIN has been entered.-- If no PIN is entered, the most rearward derived PIN producedby the application will be displayed in yellow. If you recalculatewithout clearing the PIN value, you have now entered a PIN.-- The ZFW, FCBP and TOW and their indices calculated willexactly match the Rev 9 manual manifest form.-- The minimum cargo limits table, produced mathematically bythis application, may differ slightly from the manifest form due tothe form's use of large weight ranges (125-150 lbs) per indexvalue.-- There has been only minimal validation between this tool andan ACARS-produced load manifest.-- Please be patient after pressing the “calculate” button as itcould take a few seconds to determine a solution on some slowerdevices.-- This tool is unofficial and has not been validated orindorsed by any airline or pilot group.-- This tool may only be valid for one particular airline(OO).Very limited support is provided.
