What's New in iBal Rotary

1.106

August 4, 2026

- Added Bell 412EPX - Updated to use iOS SDK 26.0 per Apple requirements - On the Edit Aircraft page, fixed a problem that would sometimes prevent the ability to edit certain items if a Lateral Arm was not required (Internal: due to reused table cells) - AS350 and AS355, clarified via comments that the Cargo Swing is Breeze Eastern 140127 or Siren S1609 and that Cargo Sling is Breeze Eastern 17149-1, per AS350 and 355 manuals. - AS355NP altered the Swing Hook to be Onboard Systems 200-292-02 per Sup 11. - Fixed an error with weight calculations for Firefighting Foam tanks - Improvements to handling of Jettisonable loads: Loads such as firefighting water, that can be loaded and unloaded in flight are handled in the same way as Suspended loads: they are shown (summed with the suspended loads) on a seperate line in the Longitudinal and Lateral pages, and individually listed under "Suspended/Jettisonable Loads" section on the Data page. Loads like Firefighting foam that are loaded pre-flight, but can be expended or jettisoned in flight are accounted for in the same way as fuel and appear in the main line in the Longitudinal and Lateral pages, and individually listed in the "All Up" section of the Data page. - Added "Sikorsky S-70i FireHawk", with United Rotorcraft Firefighter Transport layout, including Firefighting water tank and firefighting foam tank. - Custom load stations can now be set as "Jettisonable" and/or "Inflight loadable".

Simple & Functional

This tool has been an excellent addition to our operation so we wrote it into our SOPs. It provides for very quick W&B calcs whilst on the run to ensure you are always certain of your CoG position within the appropriate envelope.
The developer is very responsive to queries and recommendations. Highly recommend.

Chief Pilot

I've been using iBal now for many years and have nothing but good things to say about it. Mike and the team at Airspayce are super accommodating when it comes to updating iBal with new aircraft types or configurations and are quick to fix any bugs that may be discovered. Thanks very much to the team at iBal for creating and supporting the best weight and balance program for helicopter pilots.

Misleading

First off, how do they not have a B3E on here?? Second, you need to be able to modify the data for the aircraft.

Great app

Versatile, simple and complete.

Fast, accurate and simple.

I use this app every day, it does what it says. A fast, accurate and simple app to use to calculate your aircraft’s weight and balance. Great support team that can help you with custom aircraft configurations. This is the best app on the market for its purpose.
