C172 Performance vs SortieTrack

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.

SortieTrack helps mission aircrews spend less time on paperwork and more time on the mission. Built by aircrew members, it organizes the sortie lifecycle into one guided workflow from Brief and ORM through Mission Flight Plan, Preflight, Flight Log, Postflight, Fuel Receipt, and Debrief. If you’ve ever re-entered the same sortie details, wrestled with mission narratives, sorted out fuel receipts after a long day, or tried to reconstruct a flight from scattered notes, SortieTrack was built for you. One Workflow, Less Manual Work SortieTrack keeps sortie tasks available in one sequential workflow, with clear completion indicators and visual distinction between WMIRS-related steps and app-only tools. Mission data, crew roles, aircraft assignments, planning notes, weather details, and mission context stay together in one place. Real-Time Flight Operations • Briefing dashboard with live METAR and TAF updates • One-touch logging for engine start/stop, takeoff/landing, and key mission events • Continuous GPS track recording with time, position, and altitude • Custom notes for mission-specific situations • Optional notifications to designated contacts • KML export with event placemarks and a continuous flight path Track Recording and KML Integration SortieTrack records a persistent in-flight track between engine start and engine stop, separate from the mission event log. You can also import KML files, including ForeFlight “Send KML to...” share flows, and attach them to an existing sortie. Crew Sharing After a flight, crews can share sortie data with other SortieTrack users. Shared sortie packages can be imported as a new sortie or used to update an existing one, helping the whole crew stay in sync. AI-Assisted Mission Results Using on-device Apple Intelligence when available, SortieTrack can help generate clearer post-flight text for Summary, Results/Deliverables, and Remarks using sortie details, crew notes, flight log entries, and track data. Post-Flight Reporting • Sortie Report PDF with flight details, logs, postflight data, and attached fuel receipt • AIF Log PDF generation for quick aircraft time reporting • Quick weather entry • Mission results assistance • Debrief notes and WMIRS-ready data organization Fuel Receipt Tools Capture, import, replace, preview, and manage fuel receipts directly in SortieTrack. Receipts are stored with the sortie, annotated with pilot info, aircraft tail number, mission context, Hobbs, and Tach details, and can be included in the Sortie Report PDF. WMIRS-Friendly Workflow SortieTrack helps aircrews prepare structured sortie information including timing, fuel, weather, crew details, mission results, and debrief data for use when completing official mission reports in WMIRS. It also separates WMIRS-connected steps from app-only flight management tasks. Available at No Charge All SortieTrack features are currently available at no charge. No subscription or in-app purchase is required. Built by mission aircrews, for mission aircrews, SortieTrack was created to reduce workload, improve accuracy, and help you focus on what matters most: flying the mission.
