iOS 8.3 Broke This App
I paid $20 for an app I haven't been able to use a week after purchasing it. $20. Gone. Expect a week+ in app interruption when iOS gets updated.
Awesome App
The app is almost intuitive and is user friendly.

FAQ
What is C172R?
C172R is a performance calculator designed specifically for the Cessna 172R aircraft. It helps pilots with mass and balance calculations, as well as various performance metrics for flight planning.
What kind of performance data does C172R calculate?
C172R calculates takeoff ground roll, landing distance, climb data, stall speeds, optimal cruise altitude, and fuel efficiency. It uses actual data from the Cessna 172 R Pilot's Operating Handbook.
Can I use C172R to check if my aircraft is within weight and balance limits?
Yes, C172R includes a Mass & Balance page that calculates Center of Gravity, Moments, and Percent MAC. It provides graphical displays and a load manifest that can be emailed.
Does C172R support different runway conditions for takeoff and landing calculations?
Yes, the Takeoff and Landing pages allow you to input various runway conditions, from paved dry to long grass or snow, to accurately calculate ground roll and landing distance.
How does C172R handle wind for performance calculations?
C172R features a Wind Components Computer where you can set wind direction and speed. These results are then automatically transferred to your takeoff computations, and wind components are also used for climb calculations.
What devices is C172R compatible with?
C172R requires an iPad 2 or newer, or an iPad Mini Retina. It is optimized for high-resolution graphics on these devices.
How often is C172R updated?
The latest version of C172R is 2.4, which was last updated on June 20, 2025. This indicates a commitment to keeping the app current.
