Featuring instant calculation of up to a 16 leg flight. Tells you corrected course, grounds speed and leg time. Change the wind speed, direction, or your cruise speed and all legs are refigured. Makes it easy to see what effect these parameters have on your flight. Convert all miles and speeds from statute to nautical with one motion.

It allows you to select altitude (in 1000' increments no less) and a time(up to 12 hours in the future). You can even draw a path on the map, and it will give you linear view along your route. Shows wind direction, speed, as well as temperature and humidity.

Palm Pilot June 2004
I was just dropping someone a line on Palm programs. There are a couple of nice programs for Palm OS that allow you to program aviation formulas.

I have recently gone back to using a Palm OS (Sony Clie T27) organizer rather than a Pocket PC. Being less expensive and smaller, I am more likely to carry it with me and have it when I need to jot down a note, address, appointment, etc. The other reason that I like Palm is that there are a lot of little applications that are quite handy. Anyway, I don't want to get into a debate between which is better Palm or Pocket PC. There are
certainly some aviation applications, such as Anywhere Map, http://www.anywheremap.com/ and NavGPS, http://www.flynavgps.com/ that are strictly Pocket PC.

There are also some good Palm applications which are very different in scope from Anywhere Map and Nav GPS, such as CoPilot by Laurie Davis for Palm. www.palmflying.com is a good source for various programs.

For those of you who just need a function or two or enjoy playing with such thing,s there are two programs for Palm that make programming basic aviation functions very easy.

The first is APCalc, http://www.halcyon.com/ipscone/apcalc/overview.html . It is a $20 programmable calculator program. For example, to find a cross wind, it is a simple matter of one program line: WS?*sin(WD?-RD?).

In fact you could just enter this directly and recall it from the history when you need it. However, it is relatively simple and much more effective to assign it to a key.

Another is HotPaw Basic, http://www.hotpaw.com/rhn/hotpaw/. This is a small basic interpreter that allows you to write simple basic programs on the Palm. A simple program can be written and programmed in the memo pad such as:

#crosswind.bas
ws=val(input$("Wind Speed"))
wd=val(input$("Wind Direction"))
rd=val(input$(Runway Direction"))
print "crosswind component", ws*sin(wd-rd)

A good source of these formulas is Ed Williams excellent page: http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm.

There are also some spreadsheet programs such as MiniCalc, http://www.solutionsinhand.com/, that can be used.

I have no relationship with any of the producers of the programs I have mentioned. I just thought some of you might find this useful or interesting.

Getting on the Internet
Now only available via the internet
The very best source of need to know but hard to find information is available through the Government Printing Office. Completing the form and getting on their mailing list guarantees even the most unloved of us a continuous stream of mail. First, I want you to request the listed Advisory Circulars to bring your library up to date. Secondly, I want you to complete the "REQUEST FOR MAILING LIST ACTION" form that will, if renewed, give you all the updates and new circulars as they are published.

The AC's have a numbering system with the first set giving the general subject area and the last series the specific subject area. If no cost is mentioned they are free. I have listed those I feel most applicable to my students. Some of the weather and training information is available in commercial publications through FBOs. The ACs that have a cost I have listed at the end. Pay your money and take your choice. I would recommend that you borrow copies from flying friends where possible. ACs are not legally binding or regulatory but they should be heeded since the FAA can use your failure to abide by AC recommendations in any action against you.

For weather information obtain AC 00-6 as a weather textbook. Use AC 00-45 as a guide to interpreting weather charts and forecasts. AC 61-21, AC 61-23 and AC 61-84 are related to FAR Part 61 as it pertains to weather and other aspects of flying.

Advisory Circulars come as FAA manuals such as Flight Training Handbook (AC 61-21B; Aviation Instructor's Handbook (AC 60-14); and Instrument Flying Handbook (AC 61-27. The Airmans Information Manual (AIM) is a must if you begin flying as a career. The FAA publishes an Accident Prevention Program series devoted to information about flight problems deemed to cause accidents. Computer Bulletin board is (800) 426-3814

Pilots Operating Handbook
(POH) (Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM)
Aging affects aircraft performance. Older POHs have more optimistic numbers. Newer models have more conservative and more complete information. Rule of thumb says that that you get a knot of cruise for each 100 pounds below gross. Manufacture's takeoff and landing performance were done using maximum performance techniques. Expect up to 50% poorer performance when you do it.

Certain items should be memorized such as weights, fuel, time aloft, and oil. Mark your manual so you don't have to fumble looking for airspeed, takeoff, landing, and range charts. Transfer pertinent checklist data to your own checklist. Finally, 'how the systems operate' should be an ongoing study of every increasing awareness and depth. An emergency can grow from nothing when the pilot does not know his aircraft systems and how they work.

Certain parts of the POH may be required by the FAA to be in the aircraft as part of the required papers. Since it is difficult to determine just which parts, keep it all. Better yet, keep your own copy since POHs have legs of their own. The POH is included in the FAA's "All available information" stricture, FAR 91.103, regarding any flight. "Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight..." Do not rely on the aircraft POH to be current with past factory revisions. These revisions may not be available in published format. (Catch 22) It is best to study while in airplane. Memory will fade so a section by section review, one per flight, is not a bad idea.

Newer POHs of the GAMA form have nine numbered sections:
Inside of front cover is a quick study of performance data.
1. General Information;
2. Capacities
3, Limitations;
4. Engine limits, FAA essentials, weight & balance, placards
5. Emergency Procedures;
6. Normal Procedures;
7. Performance Data;
8. Speeds
9.Weight and Balance charts;
10. Equipment list;
11. Systems
12. Maintenance
13. Modifications or optional installations
(Supplements and maintenance manual may be available)

The FAA expects a pilot to know what is in the Pilots Operating Handbook (POH). A pilot's inability to use and rely on POH information is a common reason given for FAA charges of FAR violation. The FARs and most POHs have built in factors that make the plane safe to fly as limited and unsafe if flown otherwise. Safety factors exist only if all of the operating procedures are followed exactly. Since few pilots are able to conform to exact operating procedures we should always fly with an additional personal safety margin. POH data is often based on gross weights. Below that gross weight a 10% decrease in weight will result is roughly a 5% increase in any performance. Speeds, altitudes, and ranges are based on new aircraft. U. S. General Aviation aircraft are an average of 30 years old. They cannot be expected to achieve POH figures.
