We're pleased to announce our new release, which introduces two enhancements to Weight & Balance that provide greater convenience and speed when building a flight. Crew Seating Flexibility: You can now assign crew members to any passenger seat. Their weight is accounted for under Basic Operating Weight (BOW) rather than Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW), keeping your W&B calculations accurate no matter where crew are seated. If crew is assigned using the “Non-op Crew” option, then their weight remains added to ZFW; these crew are indicated with a purple seat in the floor plan and “Non-op” label in the right-side passenger list. Automatic Baggage Handling: When enabled, adding a passenger automatically places a pre-set baggage weight into the first available cargo area with sufficient capacity. Removing a passenger removes the associated baggage in reverse order. Automatic baggage removal can be toggled off directly within the W&B screen whenever you need finer control. For compliance and training managers: the Crew Seating Flexibility feature changes how crew weight is classified in W&B (BOW vs. ZFW). Automatic Baggage Handling is optional and off by default, with no change to existing workflows unless enabled. We appreciate your continued support and welcome any feedback for future improvements. Thank you for choosing Genesis as your trusted flight planning software solution. Safe flying!
