SF50 Takeoff and Landing Data helps Cirrus SF50 Vision pilots do their performance calculations. Simply launch the app, enter your weights, and the app will calculate how much runway you need to take off or land in your Vision Jet. SF50 TOLD supports both automatic and manual weather entry, custom safety factors, non-normal configurations (such as FLAPS 50 ICE or FLAPS 0), and runway contamination. All data comes from the SF50 G1 or G2+ Airplane Flight Manual* and is interpolated for current conditions. *This app has not been approved by the FAA or by Cirrus Aircraft as an official source of performance information. It is your responsibility to ensure that the performance data you use is accurate for current conditions.

Share a flight plan from ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or FlyQ — and it lands in your simulator's GPS in seconds. PlanToSim sends your EFB flight plans straight to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12, and the most popular add-on GPS navigators — complete with departures, arrivals, approaches, and airways. Plan on your iPad. Fly it on your PC. No file copying, no folder digging, no cables. WORKS WITH YOUR SIMULATOR • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 & 2024 — native .pln flight plans, delivered by the free PlanToSim MSFS Bridge • X-Plane 11 & 12 — native FMS flight plans, delivered by the free PlanToSim X-Plane plugin • TDS GTN Xi — native procedures (.gfp) • Reality-XP GTN 750/650 (.gfp) • Reality-XP GNS 530/430 (Garmin .fpl) • SimAVIO / FlyThisSim TouchTrainer (beta) — plans land in a GNS 530/430 flight-plan slot REAL PROCEDURES, INTACT • Full SID, STAR, and approach support — procedures arrive as procedures, not flattened waypoint strings • Waypoint-only files from ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot are matched against the navigation database to restore named procedures and airways (Rebuild Procedures — on by default, one toggle to turn off) • Runway-aware departure and arrival matching • Airway expansion (Victor, Jet, T- and Q-routes) • Cruise and per-fix altitudes carried through FRESH NAVIGATION DATA • Built-in database: 47,000+ airports, 72,000+ fixes, 1,800+ procedures • Updated every AIRAC cycle — refresh in the app with one tap FAST, PRIVATE, LOCAL • Your simulator PC appears in the app automatically — no IP addresses to find or type • Transfers over your own Wi-Fi — plans go from your iPad to your PC and nowhere else • No account, no subscription, no tracking, no data collection • Clear delivery confirmation for every transfer — and if your PC can't be reached, the app tells you within seconds and offers one-tap retry HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free receiver on your flight-sim PC: the PlanToSim X-Plane plugin or the PlanToSim MSFS Bridge (both linked from the app's Settings). 2. Open PlanToSim — your PC appears automatically. Then share a flight plan from ForeFlight (.fpl), Garmin Pilot, or FlyQ to PlanToSim. 3. Pick your destinations once in Settings — every send converts and delivers automatically. SIMAVIO NOTE (beta) SimAVIO loads its flight-plan store when it starts. Send your plan first, then start SimAVIO (or close and reopen its panel) — your plan is waiting when you sit down. One $4.99 purchase covers every simulator and every format — no add-ons, no subscriptions, no unlocks. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone or iPad with iOS 17.6 or later • A Windows flight-sim PC on the same local network • One free PlanToSim receiver on that PC: the X-Plane plugin or the MSFS Bridge (free downloads, linked in Settings)
