Tail Heavy: bush flying, with the load sheet in charge

Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A game concept about running a bush airline from a patchwork plane, where heavier loads promise more money and make takeoff riskier.

For
Fans of aviation games and bush-flying humor
Worth noticing
Its sample load sheet includes an unmanifested goat, a suggested max takeoff weight, and a center of gravity marked “WAY AFT.”

Field notes

The mock load sheet turns weight-and-balance calculations into a running joke: crates, nervous passengers, and an unmanifested goat push the center of gravity “WAY AFT.” A separate squawk sheet pairs aircraft problems with deliberately dubious fixes, including duct tape for a fabric tear. The page attributes the material to a working turboprop pilot, while making clear that the project is still in development and the displayed art is not gameplay.
