## Description

This MCP server provides precise tools for aircraft weight and balance management. It allows users to calculate the current weight, moment, and center of gravity (CG) using `calculate_current_status`. It also enables predicting how fuel consumption will shift the CG via `predict_fuel_burn_impact` and validating proposed passenger or baggage loads against safety envelopes using `validate_load_configuration`. It is designed to ensure aircraft remain within safe operating limits and below maximum takeoff weight.

## Tools

### calculate_current_status
Calculates the immediate weight, moment, and CG position based on the current configuration of the aircraft

### predict_fuel_burn_impact
Calculates how much the CG will shift after a specific amount of fuel is consumed

### validate_load_configuration
Checks if a specific set of proposed passenger or baggage loads will cause the aircraft to exceed weight or CG limits

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the current status for an aircraft with 2500 lbs empty weight, 12500 lb-in empty moment, 500 lbs of fuel at 45 inches, and a pilot weighing 200 lbs at 38 inches.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total weight is 3200 lbs, the total moment is 15400 lb-in, and the center of gravity is 4.81 inches.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If I burn 100 lbs of fuel located at a 45 inch arm, how will the CG shift from a current weight of 3200 lbs and moment of 15400 lb-in?
```

**Response:** 
```
The new weight will be 3100 lbs, the new moment will be 14950 lb-in, the new CG will be 4.82 inches, and the CG shift is 0.01 inches.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it safe to add 400 lbs of baggage at a 120 inch arm if the max takeoff weight is 3500 lbs and the CG limits are 35 to 45 inches?
```

**Response:** 
```
The configuration is unsafe because the total weight exceeds the maximum takeoff weight.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I check if my current aircraft configuration is safe?**
You can use the `calculate_current_status` tool. By providing the empty weight, moment, fuel weight, and load items, the tool will return whether the aircraft is within its safety envelope and if it is over the maximum takeoff weight.

**Can I predict how much the center of gravity will move after flying?**
Yes, use the `predict_fuel_burn_impact` tool. Provide the current status and the amount of fuel burned to see the new weight, moment, and the resulting CG shift.

**How can I validate a new set of passengers before boarding?**
Use the `validate_load_configuration` tool. It checks proposed loads against the aircraft's empty weight, fuel, and safety envelope to ensure the configuration is safe.
