Description

Cold Weather Altitude Correction is a tool for visualizing and calculating approaches at low temperatures.
In addition you will find a decoder for METAR RWY Reports.

The calculation is based on ICAO PANS OPS Doc 8168.
It uses a more accurate method as the well-known 4 per correction, which becomes imprecise for temperatures below -15°C.

Conventional tools are calculating only a list of temperature corrected altitudes. This tool is designed more closely to a real approach. Corrected altitudes are presented in a graphical interface. A table of distances with related corrected altitudes can be calculated.

With only field elevation and temperature a graphic layout will be shown:
- glide path down to the runway
- corrected MSA
- corrected MDA
- corrected GPA
- corrected custom ALT
Moving a yellow dot along the glide path down to the runway will show any corrected altitudes with their related distances to threshold or to a DME station.

Distance - Altitude Table:
A table with distance and corrected altitude can be calculated. 
This table is similar to the distance / altitude tables known from instrument approach charts, but it will show corrected altitudes.
You can choose between an approach type based on "distance to threshold" (GPS) or based on a defined DME station.

A handbook is included in the app itself.
For night operations you can switch to dark mode.

What’s New

Version 3.2.0

The manual has been updated.
The app has been adapted for Apple silicone Macs.
The pinch gesture for the zoom has been reprogrammed and the swipe gesture between the 3 main windows has been deactivated to avoid unwanted interference.

Very Helpful

I like it, take a read through or two and a few armchair dry runs and it soon makes sense and presents all the info I need to fly non precision approaches in low temps more accurately and to a greater margin of safety with much less of the guess work than before. Would love to have multitasking enabled for it so that I could use split screen and slide over to be able to view it at the same time as my approach plates please.

Excellent

I have to disagree with previous rating stating not easy and confusing. This is an excellent intuitive interface providing all information clearly. Good job, well done, thanks for a brilliant tool.

Confusing

This is not a very easy app to understand, needs re-thinking on design layout to make it more user friendly.
