C182T 2.1

The Gyronimo Performance Pad for the Cessna 182T offers a robust solution for calculations related to Mass & Balance, as well as performance metrics. Designed for compatibility with iPad 3 or newer, including the iPad Mini Retina, this app does not support older models, which enhances its functionality on modern devices.

This application allows users to calculate and interpolate performance data using actual values from the Cessna 182T Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH). It streamlines the flight planning process, enabling efficiency and ease of use.

Key features of the Performance Pad are summarized across seven main pages:

1. Mass & Balance Page:

   This section calculates critical metrics including Center of Gravity, Moments, Takeoff Mass, and Zero Fuel Mass. Users can swiftly set weights for passengers and baggage using intuitive sliders. Visual displays such as Moment Envelope and CG envelope assist in ensuring compliance with limits.

2. Takeoff Page:

   The app utilizes data from the C182T Operating Handbook to compute Ground Roll and Landing Distance based on variables such as aircraft mass, elevation, temperature, and runway conditions. The integrated Wind Components Computer simplifies determination of headwind or tailwind components.

3. Climb Page:

   This page provides insights into time, fuel consumption, and distance to climb, factoring in elevation changes, temperature, and wind components. It equips users with detailed information on Rate of Climb and Climb Speed.

4. Cruise Page:

   Derived from the POH data, users can identify optimal cruise altitude considering trip distance and environmental factors. The app graphically presents Max Range and Range including Reserve along with fuel efficiency in multiple metrics.

5. Landing Page:

   Similar to the Takeoff Page, this section calculates Ground Roll and Landing Distance influenced by various external factors. The Wind Components feature also aids in quickly determining necessary adjustments.

6. Stall Speed Page:

   This feature calculates stall speed based on various aircraft configurations such as Bank Angle and Flap Settings, providing essential safety data in KIAS and KCAS formats.

7. Setup Page:

   Users can save up to five aircraft settings and scenarios, facilitate sharing of Mass & Balance summaries via email, and access video tutorials for enhanced user experience.

The app is specifically optimized for iPad 2 and iPad 3 with iOS6 recommended for user convenience.
