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.
