Hey Ax-o
Can you date & sign it & note amendments to it? That's what we need in Canada...
Also, an Equipment List is required as part of the W&B data.

"The weight and balance report must include an equipment list showing weights and moment arms of all required and optional items of equipment included in the certificate empty weight."

regarding date verification:
How would you verify in a ramp check to satisfy having “current” navigation charts on board? Digital charts on your EFIS is considered acceptable. Do they ask to see the download date of your electronic charts to ensure they are current?
Like every FAA regulation question, they are subject to interpretation by each FAA employee/representative.
I get that FAA personnel have a reputation for interpreting things their own way. However, in the end there still has to be a reference for any deviation or discrepancy to stand on. For those who voted no, for E-AB aircraf[t/B], could someone please cite the regulatory reference that directs having a paper copy onboard the aircraft? Again not saying not having a paper is smart or a recommended practice, just want to get to the baseline legal requirement.
I vote no. W&B is one of 4 documents that are supposed to be on the plane. An EFIS can contain the information but it isn’t a document.
91.203 Civil aircraft: Certifications required.
(a) Except as provided in § 91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it the following:
(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate. ...
(2) An effective U.S. registration certificate issued to its owner ...
So just to muddy the waters even more
Although I've done W&Bs for numerous configurations (all sizes of passengers, various baggage loads, several levels of fuel...in a variety of combinations), here's what I use:

So if I get ramp checked and asked for W&B, I maintain that this ought to suffice.
No paper needed .
To forestall the argument about the validity of the limits, arms, etc...AFAIK, verifying the technical input data to a W&B by digging through the build logs, etc., is not part of any ramp check.
