C172 Performance app workshop

Performance calculations are an essential preflight planning task but can be challenging. Modern flying leverages tools to streamline the process and eliminate mistakes. This workshop will introduce you to a powerful app, C172 Performance. 

C172 Performance captures the information in several sections of the Cessna 172 POH in a dynamic and easy to use form that is useful both pre-flight and in-flight. The App should be used in conjunction with other tools such as ForeFlight or FltPlan Go, that provide route planning, mapping, weather, instrument procedures, winds aloft, flight briefing, flight plan filing, etc. Use C172 Performance to check ODP climb performance, weight limits, and CG, and compute takeoff distance, landing distance, time enroute, fuel usage, and fuel reserves. The App has an extensive global airport and runway database and will automatically fetch the current METAR data from the Internet and enter it in the appropriate spots.

FAR/AIM workshop

No one knows everything, so the best answer you can ever give is, “I know where to look”. Therefore, it is useful to tab and bookmark all your reference material. This works with paper or electronic documents – find a method that works for you. Remember the oral exam is “open book”. Join us for this free workshop during which we will share references for the most common items required for your Private Pilot and Instrument Rating. Bring you FAR/AIM, weather handbook, Pilot's Handbook, Pilot's Operating Handbook, and/or your EFB. We will work through and share all the important points as you tab and bookmark each one.
