GroundRollCalc: Estimation of Takeoff Performance Calculator for General Aviation Pilots
GroundRollCalc is an indispensable tool designed specifically for general aviation pilots who want to estimate and monitor their aircraft’s takeoff performance. Whether you’re flying a Cessna, Piper, or any other GA aircraft, GroundRollCalc helps you make smarter, safer decisions on the runway — every time.
Key Features:
Ground Roll Estimations:
Calculate your aircraft’s ground roll distance based on essential factors including aircraft weight, density altitude, runway slope, wind speed and direction, and surface conditions. Our proprietary algorithm adjusts for real-world variables, giving you reliable, pilot-tested performance figures.
Comprehensive Environmental Inputs:
Input critical flight data such as temperature, pressure altitude, wind components, and runway surface type (asphalt, grass, gravel, etc.). These inputs dynamically adjust the takeoff distance calculations, helping you plan for varying airport and weather conditions.
Flexible Aircraft Profiles:
Save multiple aircraft profiles with their unique performance data, including max gross weight, takeoff ground roll, and engine type (fixed-pitch, constant-speed prop, turbocharged, or turbine). Switch between profiles easily to match the plane you’re flying.
User-Friendly Interface:
Intuitive input forms guide you through entering flight and environmental data, with immediate calculation results displayed clearly. Color-coded warnings help identify performance thresholds to avoid surprises during takeoff.
Customizable Settings:
Set your preferred units of measurement (feet/meters, knots/mph, pounds/kilograms) and performance warning levels for yellow and red markers to tailor the app to your flying style.
Runway Visualization:
Graphically view your takeoff roll and thresholds on a runway diagram, giving you a visual sense of your aircraft’s acceleration and takeoff point.
Bonus: Live GPS Tracking (Unlockable Feature)
Upgrade to unlock Live GPS mode, which leverages your device’s GPS to provide real-time tracking of your aircraft’s position on the runway during takeoff. Stay informed and confident with live updates as you accelerate down the runway.
Why GroundRollCalc?
Takeoff performance is one of the most critical safety considerations for any pilot. GroundRollCalc puts reliable calculations and real-time situational awareness at your fingertips. By incorporating environmental conditions and aircraft-specific data, you get a comprehensive, tailored takeoff performance assessment every flight.
