C152 Pad vs CheckPrep

Gyronimo Performance Pad -Cessna 152- The ultimate computer for Mass & Balance and Performance. **** New: Long Range Tank (37.5 USG / 141 Liter) **** Calculate and interpolate performance data using the actual values from the Cessna 152 Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH). Finish your complete fight planning in just a few seconds. Performance planning has never been easier and quicker. Results are updated immediately and displayed in high resolution graphics, enhanced for the iPad 2/3 and iPad Mini. Change all important values using sliders. Experiment with the results and create "what if" scenarios in no time. Find your optimal cruise altitude, takeoff ground roll, landing distance, climb data and stall speeds. The Performance Pad C152 has seven main pages: 1. The Mass & Balance (or Weight & Balance) Page Calculates Center of Gravity, Moments, Takeoff and Zero Fuel Mass as well as Percent MAC (% MAC). Set person and baggage weights in seconds using the convenient sliders. Check if the CG is within limits using three graphical displays - Moment Envelope - CG envelope - Aircraft axis or see a complete load manifest that you can send to your email address to quickly prove that you have completed the Weight & Balance for you flight. 2. The Takeoff Page Using the actual data from the C152 Operating Handbook the Performance Pad calculates and displays Ground Roll and Landing Distance based on: - Aircraft Mass - Takeoff Elevation in MSL (Pressure Altitude and Density Altitude will be computed) - Outside Air Temperature (OAT) - Altimeter Setting - Runway Conditions (i.e. paved dry to long grass or snow) - Runway Slope - Wind Conditions Wind Components Computer - Use the Wind Components page to determine your headwind or tailwind component. Rotate the wind dial to set wind direction, set windspeed and the results will be transferred to your takeoff computations automatically! 3. The Climb page Calculates time, fuel and distance based on - Difference between Takeoff Elevation and intended Flight Level - Altimeter Setting - Outside Air Temperature (OAT) - Altimeter Setting - Headwind or Tailwind Component 4. The Cruise Page Using the actual data from the Pilot's Operating Handbook you can determine the optimal cruise altitude based on - Trip Distance - Flight Level - Engine RPM - Temperature - Wind and Altimeter Setting 5. Landing Page Calculates Ground Roll and Landing Distance based on wind, elevation, altimeter setting etc. Like on the Takeoff Page you can use the Wind Components Computer to quickly determine head- or tailwind components 6. Stall Speed Page. Calculates The Stall Speed based on Bank Angle and Flap Settings. Stall Speed will be computed as KIAS and KCAS using the actual values from the Cessna POH. 7. Setup - Load and Save up to five Aircraft Settings and Scenarios. - Send a Mass & Balance Summary to your email address. - Visit our video channel and watch tutorials and video manuals. Mode Switch: The Performance Pad can be used in two Modes: "Individual Mode" All calculations can be done independently from each other. "Plan Mode" Calculated values will be forwarded to the next page and an additional "Flight Summary Page" is available. Choose this mode if you want to do a complete performance planning.

Purpose-built for pilots who refuse to leave their checkride to chance. CheckPrep is the only checkride oral prep app structured around the FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS), the exact framework your DPE will use to evaluate you. This isn’t written prep. This is checkride oral prep and nobody else does it like this. EVERY REFERENCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Full searchable FAR, AIM, and FAA Documents, free for every user. Tap any citation in a study question to jump straight to the source. Bookmark passages, search by keyword, study offline. Every paragraph links back to the official FAA source so you never have to wonder if it’s current. STUDY THE WAY YOUR DPE TESTS YOU Every question, answer, and reference is organized by ACS Area of Operation and Task, the same structure your examiner follows. No wasted time on irrelevant material. Every minute of study maps directly to your oral exam. KNOW WHEN YOU’RE READY Track your mastery from 0–100% for every ACS task. Adaptive flashcards and quizzes target your weak areas automatically. When you see 100% across the board, you’ll know: you’re checkride ready. DECODE REAL-WORLD WEATHER Practice METAR, TAF, and PIREP interpretation with live FAA data. Build the pattern recognition that impresses examiners and keeps you safe in the flight levels. TRAIN YOUR EAR Departure and approach clearance trainers read ATC instructions aloud. Practice your readback skills with real-world scenarios using the CRAFT and P-TAC methods. BUILT FOR EVERY CERTIFICATE Private Pilot ACS: free, always. Instrument, Commercial, and Commercial Multi Add-On ACS guides available now. Add aircraft-specific content for your exact training aircraft: Cessna 172SP, Cirrus SR20 G7+, or Diamond DA42 NG. Six themes. Offline-first. iCloud sync across all your devices. Lightweight. No ads. No account required. No data collected.
