Part 135 · Dispatch & trip sheets

Trip-sheet briefing

Each leg gets a printable release page pulling current METAR/TAF and NOTAMs alongside fuel, with a crew signature block. The weight & balance section captures pax count and cargo weight and computes a live approximate gross weight, CG, and envelope check (excl. fuel weight) — reusing the same engine that powers Part 91 flight planning. It uses an approximated load arm rather than certified per-station data, so it's a planning aid, not a dispatch release; the dispatcher's own W&B process stays authoritative. This needs an aircraft picked with weight data on its profile — when one isn't picked yet, or the profile is missing empty weight, the section says so plainly instead of showing a number; when empty weight is on file but max gross isn't, the gross weight and CG still show, with the status reading "can't confirm" instead of a pass. The envelope-check pill is a separate, third condition — it only appears when the profile also has CG limits on file; without them the CG number still shows with no in/out-of-envelope indicator at all. The crew shows up with the weather/NOTAM/fuel briefing already assembled instead of a stack of printouts from three sites. It replaces the trip sheet rebuilt by hand for every leg.

Who it's for

Dispatchers releasing legs and the charter crew flying them who want the weather, NOTAM, and fuel briefing assembled per leg instead of printouts pulled from three different sites.

What it replaces

The trip sheet rebuilt by hand for every leg from weather and NOTAM sources kept apart.

What trip-sheet briefing gives you

  • Printable release page per leg
  • Current METAR/TAF, NOTAMs, and fuel assembled
  • Pax/cargo weight captured, with a live approximate CG and gross-weight preview (excl. fuel, not certified per-station)

One release page per leg

Each leg gets a printable release page that assembles the current METAR/TAF and NOTAMs alongside fuel, with a crew signature block built in. The crew shows up to a briefing that's already put together rather than a stack of printouts pulled from three different sites.

Pax/cargo weight captured — plus a live approximate CG preview

The release page captures pax count and cargo weight alongside the weather and fuel blocks, and now runs a live approximate gross-weight, CG, and envelope-check preview (excl. fuel) off the Part 91 W&B engine — an approximated load arm, not certified per-station data, so the dispatcher's own weight-and-balance process stays authoritative. When no aircraft is picked yet, or its profile is missing empty weight, the page says so plainly instead of a number; when empty weight is on file but max gross isn't, the gross weight and CG still show, with the status reading "can't confirm" rather than a pass. The envelope-check pill is a separate, third condition — it only appears when the profile also has CG limits on file; without them the CG number still shows with no in/out-of-envelope indicator at all. The crew signs off on the built-in signature block once the numbers are in, so print or hand off one release page instead of pulling weather, NOTAMs, and fuel from separate sites each time.

How an operator uses this

Each leg gets a printable release page that assembles the current METAR/TAF and NOTAMs alongside fuel, with a crew signature block built in. Pax count and cargo weight are captured on the same page, which also runs a live approximate CG and gross-weight preview (excl. fuel) off the Part 91 W&B engine — an approximated load arm, not certified per-station data, so it's a planning aid and the dispatcher's own weight-and-balance process stays authoritative; the page shows no number until an aircraft with recorded empty weight is picked, and still flags "can't confirm" instead of a pass if max gross isn't on file. The crew shows up to a weather/NOTAM/fuel briefing that's already put together rather than a stack of printouts pulled from three different sites. It replaces the trip sheet someone rebuilds by hand for every leg.

Illustrative — every screen reflects what's in your own data, nothing more.

How it works

Trip-sheet briefing, step by step

  1. Open a leg and generate its release page.

  2. The page assembles current METAR/TAF and NOTAMs with fuel for that leg.

  3. Enter pax count and cargo weight; the page shows a live approximate CG and gross-weight preview (excl. fuel) once an aircraft with weight data on its profile is picked — otherwise it says plainly what's missing rather than guessing. Still confirm with your own W&B process before releasing the leg.

  4. The crew signs off on the built-in signature block, and you print or hand off one release page instead of a stack of printouts from three sites.

Questions

Trip-sheet briefing — frequently asked

What does the Part 135 trip-sheet briefing include?

A printable release page per leg with current METAR/TAF, NOTAMs, and fuel, plus a crew signature block — the weather/NOTAM/fuel briefing already assembled rather than a stack of printouts from three sites. Pax count and cargo weight are captured on the same page alongside a live approximate CG and gross-weight preview (excl. fuel; envelope check included) — an approximation, not certified per-station data, so your own W&B process stays authoritative; the page shows no number until an aircraft with recorded empty weight is picked, and still flags "can't confirm" instead of a pass if max gross isn't on file. The envelope-check indicator specifically only appears when the profile also has CG limits on file.

Does it compute weight & balance for the release?

It shows a live approximate preview — gross weight, CG, over-gross status, and envelope check (excl. fuel) — reusing the Part 91 W&B engine. The load arm is approximated rather than per-station, so it's a planning aid, not a certified calculation; a dispatcher still runs the authoritative W&B process. It only computes once an aircraft with weight data is picked — if none is picked yet, or its profile is missing empty weight, the page says so plainly instead of guessing; if max gross isn't on file, the status reads "can't confirm" rather than a pass. The envelope-check indicator is a separate, third condition — it only appears when the profile also has CG limits on file; without them the CG number still shows with no in/out-of-envelope read at all.
