write this program

[Strix Nihildom]

The end product of this program is an application that permits pilots to
perform the required weight and balance calculations prior to flight.

The User should be presented with a list of aircraft registration numbers
(a.k.a., tail numbers) with the aircraft model, call sign, and equipment list
presented on the same line and asked to select an aircraft.

After the User selects an aircraft, specific information should be provided for
that aircraft including a list of stations. The User should then be able to
enter the weights of the various items for the planned flight and be told the
resulting gross weight, location of the center of gravity, and an indication of
the loading condition.

At the User's request, a character-based graphic display should illustrate the
weight and balance information relative to the CG limits for that aircraft.

And your question about the C-language is ?

Certainly! Just send me your full specs, along with a cashiers check for
$75,000 to cover the first 500 hours, and I'll get started once the check
clears.

My apologies for briefly off topic to C:

First, I personally do not see how this would be a 'C' question.

This would be an impossible database to maintain...as any changes to an
aircraft (such as replacement of old avionics with an installation of a new
avionics suite) changes the CG of that aircraft. Throughout the history of
one airplane that I owned shares in, the weight and balance sheet was
probably superceded 7 or 8 times. The weight and balance sheet that is
required documentation of that specific aircraft are there with the
aircraft, but not in some central database (especially GA type aircraft). I
know of no mechanisms that are in place to keep a central type database up
to date with those changes.

A little time with your weight and balance sheet and a spreadsheet will give
you the results that you seem to be seeking. A quick Google search will
bring up several examples that you can down load.


Partially on topic:

I know of an individual that as part of his MS developed a prototype system
that read the pressures out of the landing gear struts on Piper Cherokee and
from there, in theory, with the aircraft sitting on the ground, could
calculate the loading of the aircraft and the CG. Taking those readings and
making the calculations for that *might* be the basis for several questions
about C.

It sounds like you've got a reasonable spec that a competent programmer
could produce in his spare time (not knowing anything about the subject).
comp.lang.c isn't the right place for such a request, however. There is no
pressing reason for C to be the language of development, and in any case
we're not a contract clearing shop but a forum for discussing technical
issues concerning the language itself.

Maybe comp.programming. If you are prepared to offer money then make that
clear - someone might do it for the interest but you'll get far more people
if there is realistic compensation attached.

I'll do it for only USD 100 per hour, so he only needs to send me
%50,000.

Sorry, Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez and her crewmembers are already dead;
your little program can't help them now.

You forgot to give either
1) your professor's email address so we can mail in your homework
2) your boss's email so that we can send him the bill for our services

So it was. So much for my attempt at (grim) humor.
