## What is ACN/PCN Calculator?

ACN/PCN Calculator

The Ultimate Pavement Strength Tool for Aviation Professionals

The ACN/PCN Calculator is your go-to app for evaluating the bearing strength of airport pavements, designed specifically for pilots, flight operations engineers, dispatchers, and airport operators. Whether you’re dealing with flexible or rigid pavements, this app ensures precise calculations to verify safe operations on runways, taxiways, and aprons.

By leveraging the ICAO ACN/PCN method, as outlined in Annex 14 and Document 9157 Part 3, the calculator simplifies complex computations, helping you determine the maximum allowable aircraft weight with confidence.

Why Choose the ACN/PCN Calculator?
	•	Comprehensive Aircraft Database: Data is sourced from manufacturers’ publications, including the Aircraft Characteristics for Airport Planning (ACAP) manuals. Where necessary, ICAO-recommended methods or alternative sources ensure accuracy.
	•	User-Friendly Design: Optimized for iPhone 8+ screens and fully compatible with iPads, the interface is intuitive and easy to navigate.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-07-08, version 2.19*

The previous version was great, but the new APP doesn’t work unless you subscribe. I fly 1 type, why should I subscribe to a database of every airplane? You can’t even manually input the numbers, it has to load from the database. And the support link redirects to a janky FB page about crypto.

### 1/5 — EM B-550 doesn’t work!

*2024-06-23, version 2.16*

Purchased the EM B-550 but it doesn’t work!  The Gulfstream works fine. App support unavailable.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2024-01-16, version 2.14*

Excellent support and great app for quick computations!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-01-09, version 2.14*

I purchased the Praetor 600 and while it shows in the window I cannot select it, only the 747. Did everything you suggest and no good. Would like a refund for this so you don’t make money on a scam.

### 1/5 — ?

*2023-11-02, version 2.14*

Purchased B737, after restore, home page still showing Airbus

### 1/5 — G550

*2023-10-10, version 2.14*

Just purchased and it keeps me in a loop of  already purchased and restore. Will not open or compute anything

### 5/5 — Finally

*2023-05-14, version 2.13*

Thank you so much for this wonderful APP.  Our field of operations is world wide in a business aircraft and this is certainly an area that must considered as we visit so many off the beaten track airports.  Operating a Gulfstream G650ER, has many considerations, the PCN is definitely one that gets our attention. 

This is so quick and easy, and takes the guesswork out of the squiggly spegetti charts in in the AFM.

### 2/5 — Caution to users

*2021-10-13, version 2.2*

I have used this app for a little over a year. It is a very good awareness tool. I would caution though that if you are trying to max you weight, tankering fuel for example, and you are within a thousand pounds of what you want refer to manufactures data. It only matters if there is a problem.
Also, if you get a new device you will most likely lose your purchased aircraft. Currently iOS 14.8 for iPhone it’s not working.

### 3/5 — Not working now

*2021-08-01, version 2.0*

Hi,Ever since this latest app update this app is not working. I cannot select an aircraft or settings or any of the menu buttons on the bottom. Issue with the GUI? Please advise on how to proceed. Thank you

### 3/5 — Almost There

*2020-01-20, version 1.16*

Really like the App and wouldn’t mine paying $5 for each various planes I need to assess.  However, App’s disclaimer questions it’s accuracy in calculations.  The one missing feature for my use, Airport Director, once MLW is determined for PCN number, would be great to also show the aircraft’s corresponding ACN so could put both on PPR Authorization.  Still nice as cross reference.
