It has been quite a while since I've posted anything, however a while back I made this performance calculator for the Cherokee 180. I had intentions of making it more polished however I ran out of time.
Instead of just letting it die, I figured I might as well put it up here. Basically I took the performance calculations from the A2A 180 manual, and put it into an app. You can enter the Altimeter, Field elevation, and outside air temp, hit calculate and instead of having to calculate the pressure and density altitude it does it for you. It then takes that information, and gives you the suggested takeoff distance required and landing distance required -- An important feat for the dog days of summer, however they are starting to end now.
A couple of things to note:
- I could never figure out the digital signatures on "publish" so your antivirus may jump out at you. Mine did this the first time I ran it, however it has stopped once it realized the app was okay.
I think you need the .NET packages installed on your computer. I think at least up to .NET 4.0? (Can't remember). And it is only recommended on Windows. https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/ ... rk-runtime
The weather function works at virtually all airports to DISPLAY, however the auto fill functionality I know for sure does not work in Australia and Germany(?) due to the way they report their temperatures and altitudes. My "Algorithm" parses the metar in more of a "us" standard.
I am very excited to hear what bugs may be reported, however I do work during the week so any support will probably sparse
