CFI Tools Takeoff and Landing Distance App Adds Five New Models
July 9, 2012 in Navigation
[prMac.com] Herndon, Virginia - CFI Tools announced today the latest upgrade to the Takeoff & Landing App. The T&L App allows pilots to easily calculate takeoff and landing distances for their airplane based on the current conditions for the flight. This App is a component in 5 CFI Tools aviation Apps: iPad Preflight WX+ App, iPad/iPhone T&L App and Toolbox App, Android T&L App and Toolbox App and the Windows WxCheck App.
To make this process easier the T&L App downloads the current weather conditions from the National Weather Service (NWS) and combines it with airport and airplane data to make the calculations. This aviation weather data, known as a METAR, is the standard weather report supplied by thousands of airports worldwide.
Pilots are required by FAA regulation to calculate expected takeoff and landing distances for each flight. These calculations require current weather reports including temperature, wind direction and speed and air pressure. The T&L App gathers this information from internet sources as and uses it with generic guidance from airplane owner's handbooks to make the calculations. With this information it makes a useful training device for pilots who must make these calculations.
"We are very happy to continue the expansion of the T&L App, now available on iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android devices and Windows," said CFI Tools founder Brian Best. "The T&L App has become the world class standard. These new models are now in the App due to popular demand from pilots who have seen the App in action with the original models. We hope to continue this expansion with more widely used GA aircraft".
This addition of the Grumman AA-5B Tiger (2 versions), Cessna Skyhawk 172-M and Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III brings to 25 the number of aviation aircraft now supported by the T&L App. CFI Tools expects to continue this expansion based on aircraft popularity and customer requests. This list includes the most popular general aviation aircraft manufacturers including Beechcraft, Cessna, Cirrus, Diamond, Grumman, Mooney and Piper.
