Highlights
  • True airspeed calculation
  • Pressure and density altitude calculation
  • Mach number calculation
  • Compressibility effects accounted for
  • Choice of input/result units
  • Calculator or telephone keypad options
  • Airspeed indicator correction factor

Read full description

TruAirspeed is a True Airspeed Calculator for the iPhone and iPad. It's a bit different from other true airspeed calculators, in which the pressure altitude is an input. This requires resetting the altimeter to the standard sea level pressure of 29.92"Hg to read the pressure altitude. With TruAirspeed, you input the indicated altitude and the Kollsman window's pressure setting — the app then calculates the pressure altitude, density altitude, true airspeed and mach number for you. The calculations involved take full account of compressibility effects, but not shock waves, so it's limited to subsonic, non-transonic flight only. You have a choice of units for inputs and results, and you may choose either a calculator-style keypad (top row: 7-8-9) or a telephone-style keypad (top row: 1-2-3). You may also set a correction factor for your bird's airspeed indicator/pitot-static system, if you know it (mine is 0.95).

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.
