Runway performance
Takeoff and landing performance. Will your runway work? Know before you go.
Takeoff distance required
Ground roll and total distance to clear 50 ft — adjusted for weight, density altitude, wind, and runway surface.
Landing distance required
Approach speed, ground roll, and total landing distance — per weight, altitude, temperature, and wind conditions.
Runway margin
Available runway minus required distance = your margin. See if the runway works with a safety buffer built in.
Contaminated runway
Wet, snow, ice — apply contamination factors per your POH. See how conditions change your stopping distance.
Obstacle clearance
Trees, buildings, terrain — calculate climb gradient required and verify your aircraft can clear obstacles on departure.
Short field and soft field
Short-field and soft-field takeoff and landing performance from your POH, adjusted for conditions.
Enroute performance
Climb and cruise performance. Plan the entire flight, not just the runway.
Rate of climb
Best rate (Vy) and best angle (Vx) climb performance at your weight and density altitude. Know what you can expect.
Time to climb
Minutes and fuel to reach cruise altitude based on weight and atmospheric conditions. Accurate ETE planning.
Cruise TAS and fuel flow
True airspeed and fuel burn at various power settings and altitudes. Pick the best altitude for your trip.
Best economy vs best power
Compare cruise at 55%, 65%, and 75% power. See the tradeoff between speed and fuel consumption.
Range and endurance
Maximum range with reserves at various power settings. Maximum endurance for holding or search patterns.
Service ceiling
Absolute and service ceiling at your current gross weight. Know your altitude limits before you plan the flight.
Your POH data, calculated instantly
Performance calculations use the same data from your Pilot Operating Handbook — interpolated for actual conditions. No more eyeballing performance charts with a pencil.
Results include the input assumptions so you can verify the calculation. The POH is always the final authority — AeroCopilot makes the math faster.
