Send completed CG Solutions (including manifest) and CG graphs to any email address (internet connection required) Configurable Name, BEW, longitudinal and lateral arms and photo for your own aircraft (from camera or photo roll where supported). Easy entry and adjustment of passengers, fuel, cargo and suspended loads. Displays CG for loaded and empty fuel, critical fuel loads with and without any suspended load. Detects and displays weight, longitudinal and lateral CG problems. Displays available load until limits will be exceeded. Displays weights, arms and CG solutions in graphical and tabular formats, with problem alerts. Support for optional Passenger names and Flight Details which appear on the CG solution spreadsheet and are transmitted when Send tapped. This supports new FAA rules requiring FAR Part 135 (Air Taxi) Operators to manifest every flight stage and for it to be transmitted back to base. Support for Predefined Loads: user definable list of commonly carried loads and their weights. Useful for EMS staff lists, oil rig personnel lists, common cargo items etc. List of predefined loads can be accessed from the load edit page to automatically enter the weight and description. The list can be customised to include any number of your own personnel names or freight descriptions plus the weight of each. Predefined loads can be added or removed from your list at any time, and will not be lost when you update iBal. Loads can be entered in your choice of suitable unit: kg, lbs, USGals, litres, stones (also fuel % in applicable types). Supports iPhone gestures: Drag passengers and cargo between stations Flick cargo and passengers off Zoom and scroll floorplans, graphs and load sheets Aircraft-specific Custom Load Stations, allowing you to add new or non-standard loading positions to your own aircraft. Displays helpful loading data, limits and hints. Optional Alert sounds and vibration for bad solutions for easy in-flight use. Configurable fuel SGs Supports Apple AirPrint, Retina, iOS 5 and later on iPhone, iPad, etc. Works with Aeronet http://www.aeronet.co.nz/ a world class maintenance, flight and duty tracking system. Allows operators to automatically update their Aeronet records with the flight details emailed by iBal. Reduces the time and cost of records compliance.
What's New
- Updated weight and arms for "Removable Controls" in Robinson R44 models, per Flight Manual revision 26 JAN 2024 - R44 II now supports the same pod types as R44: None, A&HCC 069, Helipod II, Helipod VI. The default is None, so if your R44 II pods have disappeared, go to the Edit Aircraft page and select the type you have installed.

First off, how do they not have a B3E on here?? Second, you need to be able to modify the data for the aircraft.
This app is a huge help when dealing with government agencies (USFS etc) for all the different tasks they could expect. Can we have the BK-117 D2/D3 (H145) added to the aircraft selection list please?
This app is not bad, it is terrible. Feels like it was made by a first grader as an intro to programming class and they really did not want to do it in the first place. I would actually ask for my money back if I could.
I have been using iBal Rotary for a couple of years now on several different airframe types. It is a must have!!!! Quick, efficient and accurate! Great for remote operations. It is a must have!
This app is amazing as a tour pilot. It’s great to be able to do quick calculations at the aircraft when someone insists on sitting in a certain seat. I can run it right there to make sure helicopter is still within limits.
I started using this app when flying singles and have continued to use it flying multis. The features and ease of use of the app makes computation fast and easy. I love the “identical pax” option to quickly input pax weights and the custom loads make my weight and balance probably more accurate than the aircraft FMS. The devs for iBal are great and responsive, constantly looking to make the app better and even adding support for aircraft that I had requested. If you need to compute weight and balance, up need iBal!
I’ve been using this app for 11+ years and it’s fantastic! I love that it’s on an iPhone , not just iPad based. Always at my fingertips and all the aircraft I fly. If I need another aircraft customer support is always very responsive and fantastic at getting different aircraft or configurations when I supply the documentation/data. We’ll worth the $20 and time to learn to use the app!
The app is good for W&B but it would be great if we could input the Fuel Burn and it would calculate the flight duration estimate, including the variable of the fuel reserve of 20min, or set by the pilot’s personal minimums. Hopefully next update it will include this feature
Great product, works every time.
Was looking for an app to use for numerous weight and balance configurations on our aircraft. The software staff is incredibly responsive to adjusting app inputs to address all our needs. This app is very easy to use and gives easy to read visual indications whether the aircraft is within limitations.
