Cessna 172 weight and balance and performance

Load your C172 M or N and watch the CG move as you go, then check takeoff and landing distances against the runway you're actually using.

Weight & balance

Watch the CG move as you load.

  • Live CG on the C172 envelope as you load seats, baggage and fuel
  • Optimize CG finds the most neutral loading, and shows whether any configuration works
  • One tap loads the most fuel the load allows
  • Custom items for anything else you carry, in imperial or metric
Performance

Today's weather, one tap.

Sync the METAR and run the numbers for your C172 in today's conditions, not book examples.

  • Takeoff and landing distances for the conditions
  • Checked against the runway: length, slope and surface
  • Headwind, tailwind, crosswind and gust components
  • A safety buffer on top of the book numbers
  • Pressure and density altitude from one-tap weather sync
Manifests

Signed and sent before the doors close.

  • The manifest builds itself from the load you entered
  • Sign it in the app and text or email a PDF
  • PDF on every plan, digital records on paid plans

C172 questions

Does Flight Token do Cessna 172 weight and balance and performance?

Yes. It calculates C172 M and N weight and balance with live CG, and takeoff and landing distances checked against your runway, wind, slope and surface.

Which C172 models and supplements are supported?

The C172 M with the RAM O-320 supplement, and the C172 N with the RAM O-320 and Penn Yan O-320 supplements.

Is the C172 calculator free?

Your first aircraft is free, with weight and balance, performance and PDF manifests. Paid plans ($2.49 a month or $23.99 a year) add unlimited aircraft, a personal fleet and digital manifests.

Does it replace the C172 POH?

No. Flight Token works from the manufacturer's published data, but the POH or flight manual and your own judgment remain the authority for every flight.
