Good morning Captain,

Thank you to the more than 2000 pilots now making consistently safe landings, specially with gusty winds.

This tool allows you to calculate a safe Approach Speed for your next landing. Specially in windy conditions, you dont want to calculate your Approach speed from memory.

This App conforms with Boeing’s Flight Crew Training Manual normal procedures for Boeing 727 through Boeing 787 models.

Airbus Captain? Dont worry, the method is used on Airbus aircraft as well and its a recommended practice for any jet aircraft.

You get a graphic touch display of the aircraft heading, wind direction and headwind/crosswind components with colored alerts when exceeding limitations such as crosswind, tailwind and even when approaching your Flap Placard Limit Speed, so you can perform a partial Flap Landing. easy!

Our goal is to prevent landing related incidents such as tail strikes, hard landings or hydroplaning by providing accurate calculations of optimum landing speeds for your jet aircraft.

Enjoy!

Pros and cons of Approach Speed Calculator Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Approach Speed Calculator Pro app good for

I like to confirm my numbers with this app especially after a long international flight. The B767 SOP requires disconnecting auto thrust so you end up doing the 1/2 headwind plus all...The new metric addition is great for potential Russian diversions & etc.
Very good, at planning stage if you have any doubt about xwind component

Some bad moments

great app! BUT more could be done like adding takeoff references as well !
Very useful app nice interface, would like to see the rate of descent with a variable angle
