stops ref+15

beware of the app limitation ref+15; wasted $1 for useless app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. The 15 kt limit is set by Boeing, which was in place until now. The latest version of the app now allows you to switch between 15 and 20 kt, both of which are limits set by Boeing.

Very handy

It would be nice if there were some option to toggle between the 15 and 20 additive. The new FCTM May say 15, but airlines are slow to actually change the procedure. Flying the 747 and our FCOM and current version of FCTM still shows max of ref and 20. Other than that it’s fantastic.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We hear you— so the latest version of the app now lets you toggle between 15 and 20 kt. We’re glad you’re enjoying the app otherwise!

Супер

Отлично, очень хорошо помогает в расчетах и экономит время

Crosswind miscalculation

Shot an approach today into KDEN 35L (351 HDG) Vref 140 winds 260@20G36 according to the app Vapp 145. During an update it now does not add full gust factor anymore for crosswind. No longer complies with Boeing FTM of 1/2 headwind component plus the full gust up to 15 knots (still 20 at some companies).

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! Most aircraft models now limit the additive to 15 kt, but we’ve added the option to switch to 20 kt where needed. Plus, the latest update now shows gust values for both headwind and crosswind components, giving you more complete information for your approaches.

Max wind additive

The B767 at our company is flown with a max wind additive of 20 knots. (1/2 steady state headwind component plus full gust factor above headwind component)
i.e. RWY 36, Vref=135, wind-360/20G40, Vapp should be 155, but the app says 150.
This app has the max wind additive at 15 knots. Is there a way to change this to 20 knots?
