Awesome tool

Love this app. Truly one of my most used apps. My only critique is that the sliders are really hard to keep on a specific value when lifting your finger off the screen. Other than that it is well worth the cost! I’d buy this for any plane I plan to fly.

Great App

Makes doing all the calculations so easy. Worth every penny.

Great app

Great tool for w&b calculations!!

Awesome!

This is an awesome app. It's great for student pilots to be able to visualize each of the changes and the effects of those changes. And it's so easy to use! We are in the process of re-standardizing our part 141 flight school to an all iPad paperless program and we will be requiring this app to be installed by all of our program students. Keep up the good work!

Got some issues

It's a great concept, but my first couple times playing with it crashed after a short time. Definitely not something to use in the air in its current state, but great as a planning tool once you get past the crashes.

Great app

I love this app...graphics are great and customer support is excellent !

You can customize your airplane to your own BEW as well as do a thorough plan with all the important information needed.

The comment regarding only allowing 53 gallons of fuel is correct, the other 3 gallons unusable should be in your BEW.

The app is well worth the money and is super user friendly and a huge time saver.

GOOD JOB!

Nice App, some issues

I love the graphic display of the performance tables! A few issues in the Plan Mode: In cruise you cannot adjust the temperature correction or pressure altitude because the departure airport settings are locked in. Landing you cannot set the altimeter or OAT. They are locked at the departure settings. Summary is missing the CG for landing, only T/O and ZFW.

Best 15$ ever

I bought this and I feel it's one of the best 15$ I've ever spent. It could be cheaper but considering the small market that this app is targeted at, it's not a bad price.

The only problem I have with is the fact that it only has round elevations and I can't set anything between those and also in the performance section, it's not possible to insert numbers yourself. You have to move the scroll bar thing to set the right number and that could take a while.

Outstanding

I can't believe I'm the first review! This is such an excellent planning tool! I run all kinds of scenarios through it, finalize my flight, check it against the POH for the actual plane I'm flying, and away I go.

This is a fantastic training tool at that. All kinds of scenarios can be thought through and see the real effects to your performance.

Great app! Can't wait for the late model 182's to be added!

pretty good...two ??

Nice user interface - much useful information. Two questions though - 1) why only 53 gallons of fuel and not 56? (I know that 3 gallons are unusable but they do factor into the total weight of the plane) - and 2) why is standard temperature set at 13 degrees Celsius? (I've always known it to be 15 degrees - and 59 Fahrenheit)
