Why should I pay $400 for a performance calculator that does the same thing that I can do using the AFM?  Click here to see.

EFB-Pro is an electronic flight bag application that runs on PDAs and PCs. It allows the user to determine performance chart results such as takeoff distance, four-segment climb gradient and landing distances for various runway conditions.

The user may also optionally run weight & balance calculations.

Many other features are included:

	The ability to determine the required climb gradient with and without departure procedures
	An optional Runway database can be added, see below
	An optional Airport database can be added, see below.
	An optional Fuel tankering module can be added, see below.
	Multiple aircraft can be installed on one handheld and selected from a pull-down list.

 EFB-Pro methodology complies with

	FAA regulations
	JAR-OPS 1
	EU-OPS Subpart G, Performance Class A

1. Airport Identifier lookup
2. Runway length
3. Field Elevation
4. Runway Slope
5. Real-time METAR

See more below under Required Gradients

1. Departure fuel price
2. Destination fuel price
3. Fuel flow differences for tankered fuel weight
4. Rebates offered at destination
5. Flight level, speed, temperature and weight

Output includes:

	Gals - gallons required at the destination
	Tank - gallons to tanker
	Buy - amount to purchase at  destination
	Savings - in dollars relative to the alternatives.

The required climb gradient can be manually entered here or automatically entered when the required gradient calculator is employed.

Presented here for searching, viewing, and downloading are all the U.S. Terminal Procedure Publications (TPPs) available in PDF format files. The TPP is a 26 volume set of printed paper books containing Instrument Approach Procedure charts (IAP), Departure Procedure charts (DP), Standard Terminal Arrival charts (STAR), and Airport Diagrams. Also included are Take-Off, Radar, and Alternate Minima textual procedures. Each single page chart is presented as an individual PDF file. The minima textual data are presented as multi-page PDFs covering the minimum sections of each of the 26 printed TPP volumes. Legend and general information pages printed in the TPP books are also presented here as multi-page PDF files.

Toward the end of a 28 day airspace cycle there will be a period of time when both the current and subsequent edition files of the Digital Terminal Procedures are available for search and download.

The specific seat and baggage configuration for the user’s aircraft is displayed.  Clicking the M, F or C button to the left of the seat layout, then click on each seat to place a male, female or child respectively. An ACTUAL weight can be entered for any seat or for passengers outside of the standard weight model, such as athletic team members (see 230 entry in first image).

The user simply enters the weights corresponding to the bag stations and the new gross weight and CG are displayed. Fuel weight is also entered in a similar manner though a fuel moment "lookup" table is utilized.

The resulting CG (in inches and %MAC) is then displayed graphically within the operating envelop for the aircraft as a small dot. The CG shift resulting from fuel burn is displayed as a line leading from the CG symbol, passing through the landing CG and terminating at the zero fuel CG value.  Values outside the acceptable range are shown in red.

The GRAPHICAL W&B allows the user to use standard weights for men, women and children.   Notice in the pictures to the right, that a numeric keypad appears for easy entry and that LBS appears in the selected seat.

The winter and summer weights are toggled by the user or automatically by date, both of which the user sets.

Crew names can be saved within the software and included in the W&B. Fulfills  FAR § 135.63  Identification of crew members and their crew position assignments..

When a departure procedure is established for the runway, the requirement is usually rendered as a climb in feet per nautical mile. This number must be translated into a % gradient so that direct comparison with the aircraft’s performance charts can be made. Since the departure procedure meets TERPS criteria, the value is already gross. Entering the corresponding values renders the resulting value and transfer it to the weather screen.

When a departure procedure is not charted or described, the pilot must manually calculate the gradient from the height of the obstacle in the flight path and the distance from the runway. This value must also be modified to reflect the reference height as prescribed by the manufacturer and the clearance height as dictated by regulation. The resulting gradient is then net and must be further modified to reflect aircraft certification, number of engines and operating regulations to render a gross value. This calculation is performed automatically and transferred to the weather page as the target required gradient.
