C172 Performance vs PocketPath

C172 Performance computes all the useful performance numbers for flight planning for Cessna model 172 and 150 aircraft. It includes calculations for takeoff, landing, climb, cruise, descent, instrument procedures as well as emergencies. It also includes an interactive hold calculator, a risk analysis tool, and an emergency glide distance calculator that handles head and tailwinds. C172 Performance is also available on other mobile devices and as a WebApp (an App that runs in a browser) that runs on a variety of platforms (PC, Mac, tablets, phones). The cloud sync feature allows flight planning profiles entered on any device to be synchronized with your other devices when connected to the Internet. C172 Performance is a free, open-source development effort and has Apps and WebApps for other aircraft. See http://pohperformance.com for complete details.

For all pilots — students, flight instructors, recreational, and Rusty pilots — PocketPath has you covered. PocketPath is an iPhone-based pilot’s guide to airport communications, offering access to all U.S. airports by name, city, or ID. Basic flight and ground services are included, along with FAA airport diagrams and airspace data. All information is automatically updated using current FAA data and is stored locally on the device, so it’s accessible without Wi-Fi or cellular service — ideal for use at any altitude or location. 24-hour current FAA weather is available, and airport services including Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) are listed, with optional voice call support. PocketPath also offers a 911 Emergency Services link using local phone service, available anywhere in the continental U.S. and its territories (requires an active carrier with 4G or 5G service). PocketPath is intended as a "Pilot’s Aid" and is not FAA certified — it should not be used for the primary control of an aircraft.
