DC-3TP
When you tap fuel, all three tanks will be displayed, since they are all permanently installed. Tap each tank to set the desired quantity.
DA Weight Limit
Since max gross weight is limited by density altitude, first confirm the pressure altitude and temperature at your departure point. Pressure altitude and temperature will be prefilled for the airport, and updates here will also be reflected on the performance tabs.
Density altitude and the takeoff weight limit will be displayed in yellow, with a yellow bar on the envelope indicating the max gross weight for that DA.
Adding Seats and Cargo
Weight added to the Flight Attendant seat will be added to Crew weight, not passenger weight.
Tap the weight icon to remove seats and add cargo.
If there are no seats in the left column where the cargo is added, the cargo icon will expand to the left.
Enter the cargo weight and tap Done.
Tap the passenger icon to replace cargo with a seat and/or a custom passenger.

Aux Tanks
To install the underwing fuel tanks, tap either the fuel button or the Install Aux Tank button, then tap Install Tank for Aux 1 or Aux 2.
If the underwing cargo pods are already installed, you will first be asked to confirm if you wish to have both installed. If you select No, the tanks will not be installed.
Then select which flight legs you want the tanks installed on. “Remaining” installs the tank on this and all remaining legs; “All” installs the tanks on previous legs as well.
Next either tap Full or enter the desired fuel quantity.
Note: the fuel quantity will be entered on this leg, and will be calculated for subsequent legs. No fuel will be added on previous legs.
Remove the Aux tanks by tapping the either the Fuel button or the Aux Fuel button, then the trash can icon.
Confirm on which legs you wish them to be removed.
Cargo Pods
To install the underwing pods, tap the Install Pods button.
When installing the pods, if the Aux tanks are already installed, you will first be asked to confirm if you wish to have both installed. If you select No, the pods will not be installed.
Next select which flight legs you want the pods installed on.
Tap the desired pod bay to enter the cargo load. Load cargo pods front to back to remain in the pod center of gravity limits. Cargo will be added to both pods if the pods are linked.
Click Unlink Pods to load the pods separately.
Center of gravity for each pod is displayed in the small envelope next to the pods.
If a pod CG is out of limits, it will turn red, and if there is a left to right imbalance of greater than 25 kilograms, both CGs will turn red and an “Imbalanced” note will appear.
Tap Clear Pods to empty the pods.
Tap the Remove Pods button to remove the pods.
Then confirm on which legs you wish the pods to be removed.
